Don't know what comes next, but when I went on the "Half Ass" Ride, Red's first time out with 175 horses, 173 of which he'd never met, Red was a TOTAL ASS, not a half ass. Only time I've ever been actually scared was on the group beach ride when his buddy left him. Gave us a goal for the summer. Can't wait to hear part two.restoration42https://www.blogger.com/profile/09225587029759842297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6371458020564881376.post-13489958890859206302009-10-06T08:57:39.482-05:002009-10-06T08:57:39.482-05:00It's so nice to learn something about a part o...It's so nice to learn something about a part of this country that I know so little about.

It's what I loved ...I *love* your descriptions! It's what I loved about Texas and what we love most about New Mexico and one of the reasons we moved here. That sense of family and tradition and culture that has been fiercely hung onto for generations. <br /><br />People move here from the east coast and other places and they hate it and either leave, or try to change these people and this place and in turn, I kind of hate them for their efforts. <br /><br />Here, people prayed for me daily when I was diagnosed with cancer, people I barely knew. They cared because we came into this valley with respect and politeness and appreciation for them and this land. It still makes me cry a little that our postal clerk prayed for me each time she put mail in our box.<br /><br />When I still vended my jewelry at art events, I loved the slow pace in New Mexico. You were greeted politely, asked about your health etc if the person knew you, asked about the work with true interest and appreciation. Maybe they bought, maybe not, but it didn't matter because you felt you had made a friend before they left. Often, we would be invited to homes, given directions and expected to come. It wasn't the false politeness you get in other places.<br /><br />In other places people are loud, demanding, in your face, complaining, wanting discounts for handmade work, no respect, no quiet slow pace. <br /><br />I don't think I could live anywhere else anymore.
