Honorably dedicated to all real cowboys and wanna-be cowboys. Also, dedicated to all real cowgirls who need a refresher course. And, to all wanna-be cowgirls. Curious spectators are welcomed to this domain, too. Respectful recognition goes to Texas CowgirL, Donna, for keeping The Spirit of the Cowboy alive. A special dedication to my son who allowed me to put his photo on the cover and added some of his own wisdom in these pages. He is the Best of the Best. This wisdom-filled, quick-read, humorous, and inspirational book is chock-full of quirks, reflections, advice, and observations of rural Life.
