Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. Proverbs 3:5-6

You might be a...


...redneck! This is what my mother-in-law calls this picture, but it is truly priceless. It brings on alot of good conversations.  When Doug was a young boy, his Dad and Uncle Ike ran the family farm in Winder. They had a few boys between the two, and they all looked forward to the "Famous Preston Night Rodeo" every summer. They would ride there horses in the parades and in the arena before the rodeo.  One year, his Mom and Aunt Ann decided it would be fun to make all of them matching shirts to wear to the rodeo.  Yes, they are pink. I think alot of guys look good in pink. This was even before the rodeos started doing "Tough enough to wear pink" for cancer. So I think they were pretty in style. But.....

....if you asked some of these boys if they have ever had matching shirts since, the answer would be NO! Then it would be followed by, have you ever had a shirt with square buttons! Which leads to alot of funny conversations about those shirts and why we ever wanted to match.

Back row: Monte, Dad, Mom, Uncle Ike, Aunt Ann, Lola
Middle row: Kent, Doug, Boyd, Spencer, Gordan
Front row:  Daryl, JoAnn, Joy

This is not a clear picture, I took it with my phone. We are all getting a copy at Christmas, I can't wait!

With the Preston rodeo this week, this will be talked about maybe just a little.
