The Dish on Career, Fashion, Faith, and Family

A Little Ditty About the Country and the City

July 6, 2016 by Gindi Leave a Comment

Y’all, I got nothin’.

I was at the ranch this weekend. It is a LOT different from the farm.  More remote.  More “rustic.”  Rougher, friends, it’s just rougher.

So I’m back working in the city today and the kids are off at the farm, and I’m running super low on bloggy muscles these days so you’re getting this.  There’s a reason I’m not a professional poet…

I’m a city girl

And I love to roam

But I married a country boy

Who loves to stay home

 

Over the weekend

We went down to see cattle

Headed south on 59

Til the kids were ridin’ in the saddle

 

It was hot

I mean Texas summer hot

And truth be told

I don’t like the country a whole lot

 

There are scorpions

All sorts of bad bugs

‘Course some rattlesnakes

Which freak me out more than slugs

 

The kids had fun

As fireworks buyers

We lit them late

And, oops, started a fire

 

Finally, I gave up

Said, let’s give daddy some time

We packed up our bags

And drove back to smog and crime

 

If you’re wonderin’

If there’s a point to my story

It’s that I love me some city

With my kids, Finding Dory

Welcome

Come on in. I have a reservation just for you. I know life is busy. I would love for us to step out for a relaxing lunch but schedules don't always allow. So let's pop open that salad or sandwich sitting in front of our computers, and we'll have lunch right here. A few minutes is all we need to connect to community.
