Directions

I have a special luxury in life of memories and places. And I remember how to get there. We live in a big city but this is what speaks to me.

Exit here, take a right and go to the end of the road, Yes, the road ends, Take a right at the stop sign. As you go through town, take a left at the light. Yes, THE light. Keep going 2.3 miles and take a left.

This is a sign you’re in God’s country. Make a turn on a country road in nearly any state in the US and there are the most amazing sights to see, and people to meet.

I’ve lived in these places and have family who lives there still. I used to turn on the light in the guest bathroom at Jim’s folks place and have cows lowing at me. Now I leave the light off so they know I’m not Joe and I’m not about to go out to feed them. But I have fed them grain and gave a baby calf a bucket full of milk as his mom had twins and he was foresaken.

But I’m not going by for this weekend’s festivities though I would have liked to help Margie cook for the cowboys. While I won’t let Zoe out off-leash there in an unfenced area (she has no idea of traffic) everyone who drives by waves hello. Now where can you get that kind of camaraderie except in the country!
