Cody. WY, 9/13/2011
We had breakfast at a small coffee shop on Sheridan Ave. The young lady who waited on us is a college student who participates in barrel racing and goat roping. We got this information from an old guy, about my age, who then began to tell us about his wife's rock garden. Apparently she loves shapes and colors of unusual rocks. Each story led to another, sometimes by mysterious paths. He also makes jigsaw puzzles. One of his latest creations is made from a rodeo poster featuring some of the kids who work at the coffee house.
Later, at an outfitter store, we met a man whose last name is White Bird. He rebuilds Airstreams and has owned eight of them. He has walked across the US twice.
The owner of a clothing and tack shop makes custom saddles. His wife sews wall tents for hunters. The young man that waited on us also participates in the rodeo, as a bull rider. He said that he has had two concussions from football but has never been injured riding bulls.
Everyone has stories. God grant me the patience and wisdom to listen.
