Thoughts as we drive home!

I wrote this as we were driving home from Oklahoma.

Driving through some two lane road in Oklahoma, it saddens me to see where there had been working ranches and now there is massive subdivisions with the the past ranch name on it.  I have been thinking lately how is it possible that the average American is two generations removed from either family farm or agriculture.  Of course while at Star Lake there were rumors of what was going to happen to the land, whether some one bought it for ranch or development, I don't know.  But, Monte Soules did say something that caught my attention, these kids are better off being raised on a ranch with the opportunity to be Hereford breeders.  This is not word for word, but close.  So will Hubby and I keep taking our kids out of school for cattle events? You bet your ass!  As one Illinois Hereford Grandma told me on Saturday, this is a family, not a genetic family, but still a family.
Ok, enough of my ramblings.

I am trying to upload pictures, but not working.
