Today was the last day for Mark at his NRS roping clinic. I didn’t have much to do, so I drove around looking at nice houses, hoping to spot Trevor Brazile's, LOL. Trevor is the 8 time world champion all around cowboy from Decatur. He was in the western store on two of the days I was there, just not at the same time, Bummer!
I spent most of the time watching the clinic in the warm 85 degree sunshine. It was fun to watch as everyone is at a different level. Mark is one of the better ropers. He is so determined and sometimes tries too hard. He spent 3 days riding a light palomino horse and felt like he was really a good horse. I knew before we left Iowa, if he found a horse for sale, it would be coming home with us. I got to ride him awhile too. I think this will be a nice horse for us, he is nice and hopefully will be one everyone in our family can ride. I am still without horse and hopefully someday will find me one too. For now, I will enjoy Mark’s and work with Jayden’s horse. In a few weeks the new horse will be coming to Iowa. What a great souvenir! I think we will name him “Tex.”
Later in the evening, we headed to Ft. Worth where we met Travis and Cherice for dinner at an extravagant Mexican restaurant. We waited in the largest line I have ever seen. We enjoyed good food and conversation before parting. I wish Cherice lived closer.
Next stop, the worlds largest Country bar, Billy Bob’s. We didn’t know there was a concert , but decided to go anyway. JOsh Tuner was performing and it was pretty wild inside. It was the biggest bar I had ever been in. The girls were dressed so skimpy in short shorts and low cut tops. I think it is sad they feel they need to dress that way in order to impress a guy. After a couple hours in the loud crowded concert and smoky bar, we were ready to crash for the night.
