Day 23-Wed, 21 Jan 09 - Benson, Arizona

We had a wonderfully quiet day and it was nice to laze around and not 'be' somewhere. We cleaned the van inside and out, re-organized clothes and food and had a nap. It was great! The weather is warm and overcast..supposedly there will be light showers tonight but as per last year, any amount of water from the sky is so appreciated here that it's hard to be upset because we're inconvenienced.
I got on the internet today to find out what the rodeo schedule is for Arizona. I want long-horned bulls! I want bow-legged cowboys! Well, it turns out there is a rodeo in Buckeye this weekend so that's where we're headed pardner. It's a 3-day event and I'm not sure we'll take in all of it but where there's a rodeo, there's bbq'd ribs and corn dogs so I'm sure there will be enough to keep us busy. I just have to make sure we resist all temptation to buy any piece of clothing that has fringe or rhinestones on it. Lots of good photo ops as well.
It's a short blog today but hopefully tomorrow, there will be another story to tell. Until then, love and hugs to all. xx
