I know that I have been a little lax in my posting and I apoligize. This is a pretty busy time of year in my real life so I have been focusing on keeping the lights on.
I would like to introduce you to another of our board members, Tanya.
Usually the women in our group have fairly varied taste. We get our enjoyment from different things, do different things to pass our time. Tanya is into the rodeo/barrel racing scene. She barrel races, knows how to rope, and breaks her own horses. She is about the toughest chick I know.
She has other interests as well. One of the more impressive things is a kids rodeo that she and a couple of friends put on each year. This event helps to introduce kids to rodeo in a safe and very family friendly environment. One of the things that most people don't know about rodeo is the family atmosphere that it operates in. For example, at a barrel racing jackpot its nothing to see dads walking around with little babies in their arms, looking after the kids while mom makes her run. If they actually follow the rodeo circuit, its common to see the whole family at each event. Campers are just as important as horse trailers. But at those events the kids have sheep to ride but not much else. Tanya's kids rodeo give the kids the chance to do all of the things the kids watch their folks do all year. This type of event is a huge undertaking and just one more example of the amazingly talented women I am surrounded with.
She has a good job and has been with the company for a lot of years. She is loyal as an employee and a friend. She has a ton of stuff on the go and sometimes is hard to track down but that is all part of the juggling game we all play.
She is also the member of the group who threatens ranch house justice. More than once she has threatened to "nut" someone, to create minor acts of vandalism if needed, and basically be the muscle of the group. However, when dealing with applicants, she is usually the first one with tears in her eyes.
Her husband is also awesome! He does what he's needed to to. Somewhere I have a picture of him in an apron but I can't find it and that may be a sign that I shouldn't put it up. But to all of the people that have seen it, it is a sight to behold.
Tanya is a strong woman that I am proud to know. I am very glad she is on my team.
Thanks to all of you for the reads today.
This is also a reminder that June 10, is our AGM for Forever Friends. It starts at 2 PM in the Qu'Appelle Library. Everyone is very welcome and we would love to have lots of people there to help decide the future of Forever Friends and set our goals for the next year. Please put the date in your calender and come if you can.
