Prayers for TexasCowboy!

TexasCowboy has been using his hip injury as an excuse to prevent his friends from shooting his new riot gun.

Well some of us offered to take a look at it for him and he decided both a proffesional and sober opinion might make more sense.

So he found a coupon and now he is going to let some old saw-bones cut on him.

Probably a better idea than letting us do it, but a few folks feelings are still hurt!

Please all say a prayer for our Cowboy that he is back in the saddle again real soon.

Hugs & Smooches to you Big Guy.

Prayers, too.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Sending prayers, TC, for you and your doctors.

"Kick it! (I know you will...)"

Count on it, hon!!

John Wayne called it the "Big C".
NAW! It's just cancer, and it's fixing to get it's butt kicked!

If you're still over there in the land of sand and scorpions, get back here! I need a hug!

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

She'll make a special trip for your Victory Party Cowboy...........

[Allegra]

If you're still over there in the land of sand and scorpions, get back here! I need a hug!

I'm still in that place, but in the paved, date-palm-lined middle of the capital city now. I've gone cosmpolitan - no longer a desert dweller. HAHA

Giving you a hug will be right at the top of my agenda the next time I'm stateside. Count on it!

Love you, TC.

[Allegra]

Will you give TC a big ol' Texas-sized hug for me to last until I get home? :-)

[dandelion]

My prayers are with you, dear Texan!!

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

I would Allegra, but he left me......... I held onto his bootheel until he had to kick backwards.........he's in lala land right now.......and they're taking darn good care of him too!

[WV Mountain Mama]

God bless you, TC! More prayers on the way!

Thanks for the ping, Tonk.

Good morning, Cowboy. It's so good to get these updates. You are in our thoughts and prayers. I know that with God's help, you will beat this demon.

A Cowboy's Guide to Life

1. Don't squat with your spurs on.

2. Don't interfere with something that ain't bothering you none.

3. If you find yourself in a hole, the first thing to do is stop digging.

4. Always drink upstream from the herd.

5. Telling a man to git and making him do it are two entirely different propositions.

6. When you give a personal lesson in meanness to a critter or to a person don't be surprised if they learn their lesson.

7. If you're riding ahead of the herd, take a look back every now and then to make sure it's still back there.

8. The quickest way to double your money is to fold it over and put it back in your pocket.

9. If you get to thinking you're a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else's dog around.

10. And never, ever, miss a good opportunity to shut up.

Beautiful .. just beautiful, Mayor ... THANK YOU!

The Mayor's reading reminds me of something that I treasure and keep on my refrigerator as a reminder of the BIG picture ..it's from Mother Theresa:

“Anyway”

“People are often unreasonable, illogical or self-centered, forgive them anyway.

If you are successful, you will be sure to make some false friends and some true enemies. Be successful anyway.

If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you. Be honest and frank anyway.

What you spend years building, someone could destroy over night. Build anyway.

If you find serenity and happiness, others may be jealous. Be happy anyway.

The good you do today people will often forget tomorrow. Be good anyway.

Give the world the best you have, and it may never be good enough. Give the world the best you’ve got anyway.

You see, in the final analysis it is between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway.”

======================================================

You are a living example of this golden reminder, TC.

Enjoy these quieter "off" days.. rest up and think happy thoughts, TC!! Hugs and Prayers !

One day a man passed by a farm and saw a beautiful horse. Hoping to buy the animal, he said to the farmer: "I think your horse looks pretty good, so I'll give you $500 for him." "He doesn't look so good, and he's not for sale," the farmer said. The man insisted, "I think he looks just fine and I'll up the price to $1,000." "He doesn't look so good," the farmer said, "but if you want him that much, he's yours." The next day the man came back raging mad. He went up to the farmer and screamed, "You sold me a blind horse. You cheated me!"

The farmer calmly replied, "I told you he didn't look so good, didn't I?"

Okay, Amy! Git yore travelin' shoes on!
When we git this cancer on the run in about three months, I'm gonna throw this humungous cook-out at my place in Rock Island, Texas!

Yep! It doesn't have to be California to cook Tri-Tips!

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

Is that what we call London Broil Cowboy? I am trying to remember when you joined up with the Fresno bunch and raved about the food!

[Texas Termite]

Not to worry WTGPA.. he has 2 Texas "honeys" coming to visit him at the hospital this weekend. He won't need the CA babes Sat. and Sun!!

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

Oh wonderful! I'm going East and you're going West! lol Lord keep the storms to a minimum this weekend!

[Texas Termite]

No! NO! Not me. Friends of his from the rigs. One has been a friend for years. It'll do him so much good.

I'm staying put for the time being.

Going to see your sweetie I assume:) Stay safe and enjoy!

Sounds great!!! I wonder if I can persuade Jim to have our annual picnic in Texas .... hmmmmm.

I've made several trips to Texas but have never been to Rock Island, Texas.

It will be wonderful to get another hug from our Cowboy.

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

Oh I know who you mean.......... maybe those nurses will get a bit jealous then! lol.......
