When we did ours everyone was bummed because the cow pooped so quickly. We'd all brought nice chairs and were looking forward to just sitting back and relaxing and it was over way too soon! As for duct tape . . . we may have to make sure you get one one day! We love and miss ya!

Just because I live in a town doesn't mean I'm not country!<br /><br />Seriously (seriously?), this is a great thumbnail sketch of some of the simple joys in your life. Thanks for sharing it with us!<br /><br />Love ya! Amy<br /><br />(P.S. In all my months at Roger Post Mortgage Company in Pacific Grove (way back when), not once did I open a bill payment that was sealed with duct tape.)Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03268849975538109522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5529365993866431111.post-43618579958216325042012-09-13T12:30:34.195-07:002012-09-13T12:30:34.195-07:00I treasure the memories of that time with you and ...I treasure the memories of that time with you and your family, and I have nothing in my heart by warmth for Nebraska (despite my teasing about its "hills"). Those were very special times in my life I hope I will never forget. My mom still has the picture of you and I and Rich together in KY in her kitchen. And, yeah, God must have been laughing hearing me tease you about rural knowing what He had in store for me some years later! God bless. May He pour His Spirit out over your special plans ahead!Erick Reinstedthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17687593837022660081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5529365993866431111.post-17610560436853633472012-09-13T12:13:00.907-07:002012-09-13T12:13:00.907-07:00:) I don't think I ever called the hill a mou...:) I don't think I ever called the hill a mountain - you did. In fact, we were "debating" that what I called a hill was even a hill to you. Then YOU evolved it into a mountain. Funny stuff and good memories. If I remember, it was about 5 am as we rolled into Central City, NE after driving all night - after training all day.<br /><br />Even funnier (to me) is when I came to you place (where you live now) and thinking "oh my. I thought I lived in a rural area. I didn't even know California had uninhabited places like this! :)<br /><br />Love ya, Brother!!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11817498643153863611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5529365993866431111.post-58697477576388562742012-09-13T11:44:44.592-07:002012-09-13T11:44:44.592-07:00Hi!

I love living in the country and being able to see that kind of stuff, or pull a disc behind a tractor and smell the earth being turned up, or the smell of wet, fresh cut fields as I mow a road through our property. I am glad I made you smile and I am glad I helped you remember a simple gift God has given us to be able to see His glory in Creation. Have a great week.

But, you do have to admit, that what was a landmark "mountain" for you is barely a bump out here . . . Thanks, Dave, for being one of the first to introduce me in person (not just on TV) to the joys of simple country life and small towns.

It was fun to right—kind of scary how quick all the memories flowed!—and I realized how unique it is to live in such a small, rural place. Have a wonderful second half to your week.
