The rodeo...

Today I'm exhausted, my stomach hurts, my back aches and my kids are whiny, but glory hallelujah, the culprit is the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo and not cancer!  Yesterday was our rodeo day.

Bryan busted up some mutton.*



We ate fried cookie dough. If you're wondering whether you can actually improve cookie dough by frying it, the answer is, "YES! You can." It's awesome.


I was much more comfortable with Rand's choice of rides



than with David's.


Thank you, Lord, for a good day.
