TODAY HERE IN CALGARY - MAY 12TH - MOTHER'S DAY, WAS HOT, IN THE 80s F. FOR MAY 12 THAT IS WAY ABOVE NORMAL.
IT WAS MOTHER'S DAY.
SO I DECIDED TO PUT MY SILVER PARADE SADDLE AND BRIDAL ON MY HORSE GOLDIE. AND DRESS IN MY FANCY "ROY ROGERS" TYPE WESTERN CLOTHES, AND MY PURE WHITE STETSON HAT, FANCY COLORED COWBOY BOOTS, AND JINGLING SPURS.
TO MAKE IT SPECIAL FOR MOTHERS, AND ..... WELL EVERYONE, I WOULD RIDE ON THE GRASS EDGES OF A MAJOR HIGHWAY, CLOSE TO WHERE I BOARD GOLDIE. IT IS A HIGHWAY THAT GOES TO WHERE PEOPLE WANT TO GO ON A HOT SUNDAY DAY, FOR RECREATION OR VISITING FAMILY. LOTS OF MOTOR-BIKES OUT TODAY, GETTING AN EARLY START TO MOTOR-BIKE SEASON.
THE SPECIAL FOR EVERYONE WAS, GOLDIE AND I LOOKED LIKE A MILLION DOLLARS; SHE IS ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL DARK GOLDEN PALOMINO HORSES YOU HAVE EVER SEEN; SHE IS A USA HORSE, HER GRANDFATHER BEING "I'M IMPRESSIVE" - THE USA "HALTER CHAMPION."
I RODE UP AND DOWN THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY, WAVING TO ALL CARS, TRUCKS, AND MOTOR-BIKES. IT WAS WINDY SO HAD TO TAKE MY WHITE STETSON OFF FOR MUCH OF IT, BUT THAT JUST MADE THE WAVING OF MY STETSON GREAT FOR WAVING AT EVERYONE.
PEOPLE WAVED BACK, SOME TOOTED THEIR HORNS; ARMS CAME OUT OF WINDOWS TO WAVE BACK, ESPECIALLY IF IT WAS A FAMILY. THE GUYS AND GALS ON MOTOR-BIKES WAVED.
ONE VAN-TYPE PULLED OVER WHEN THEY SAW US COMING. I RODE UP AND ASKED IF THEY WANTED TO TAKE A PHOTO, WHICH THEY SURE DID. TURNING GOLDIE AROUND INTO THE BEST POSITION, THEY WERE JUST THRILLED TO TAKE A PHOTO. IT COULD BE THEY WERE FROM OUT OF TOWN VISITING IN THE CALGARY AREA. THEY WERE SURE DELIGHTED TO HAVE BEEN ABLE TO TAKE A PHOTO.
SO WITH ALL THE TERRIBLE BAD THINGS GOING ON IN THE WORLD, MOST PEOPLE ARE REALLY DECENT AND FRIENDLY.....WELL THEY ARE ON THE PRAIRIES OUT-WEST HERE IN CANADA. THEY JUST NEED SOMETHING TO BE ABLE TO SHOW THEIR FRIENDLINESS; SOMETHING TO BE HAPPY ABOUT; SOMETHING TO GIVE THEM A LITTLE BRIGHTNESS IN LIFE.
THEY GOT THAT SOMETHING TODAY, AND THEY RESPONDED WITH JOY AND FRIENDLINESS.
WE SOMETIMES FORGET THAT MOST PEOPLE ARE DECENT AND FRIENDLY IN THIS WORLD, IF WE GIVE THEM HALF THE CHANCE TO SHOW IT.
YES IT WAS A GOOD DAY TODAY, HERE IN MY SECTION OF CALGARY.
