Let me just go ahead and say it—I tried my best to concentrate
on writing this blog. With distractions everywhere, the attempt turned out to
be tougher than I thought and well, this is gonna be short. Being on vacation takes away nearly all of my
motivation…okay, it takes away all of it. Especially while sitting at a
primitive campsite with electric generators humming and thousands of people on
horseback or wagons riding by waving, giving a cowboy nod and greeting.
I’m at the National Chuckwagon Races in Clinton, Arkansas where
every year, twenty thousand plus people gather to ride horses, watch the races,
mingle with the masses, and have a good time at one of the largest equine events
in the United States.
From our first visit seven years ago, the event quickly
became a “time-out” from life for my husband and me. There is no clocking in
and out from our jobs, no one expects us to be here or there by a certain time.
The only thing it seems we have to do is wake up at some point and roll out of
the horse trailer to a lawn chair and a cup of coffee.
My husband (a horseman since birth) enjoys shoeing horses and has set up shop across the dirt road from our camp, something he wants to do. I on the other hand, will be taking a nap soon. Have a great day people and thanks for reading!
Oh, I almost forgot! Check out the cover art for The First Night to be released December 17th.
