Over the past three days I have really enjoyed the beautiful countryside we have seen.
Driving from Oklahoma City west, we saw endless rolling prairie (and lots of cattle).
As we crossed the Texas panhandle, the terrain changes to beautiful grasslands (and more cattle). So
flat, you could see for miles. When we stopped for gas, the brisk winds and crystal blue skies were wonderful, and I understood why ranchers and farmers love the out of doors.
Today as we crossed into New Mexico the terrain quickly changed to rolling,
scrubby hills with beautiful mesas in the distance. Rachel and I joked that we could
envision Indians up on the mesas planning their attack! So rugged and yet so beautiful.
Also over the past three days we have realized there is a required wardrobe
necessary to live in this region...boots, jeans and a cowboy hat. Now I'm not talking
about the kind you see in Nashville. You know, the ones you see on lower broad
that just scream "I'm a tourist!!" I'm talking about boots and cowboy hats that are a
way of life...and that are as acceptable in the board room as they are on the ranch.
I tried on hats several times, but then I think there would be a loud scream..."I'm
a tourist!!"
