I signed up here as a member over a year ago and then I got busy
--
I also am a charter member of the AgForum.net site --and seems I've not been there much either -- I live in New Mexico --born and raised in Colorado --ranch and rodeo cowgirl all my life --
I now spend most of my time "riding" a keyboard --I'm full time writer for Ruidoso News out of Ruidoso NM --and I'm in charge of the outer county news..which means I get a regular shot at feeding the townfolk the rural news. They've seen more county fair, FFA, 4-H, ranch rodeo, high school rodeo and ag related stuff in the past 4 years than they knew existed beyond the tourist boundaries of Ruidoso.
Four almost five years now I've written a column about ranch/rural/cowboy life that has grown continuously in popularity --it runs weekly in the paper I work for as well as sporadically in a handful of other publications from Montana to Texas.
I try to put into words what we all just take for granted, what we live day to day and in almost ALL of it, I try to find something to laugh about. I like to laugh and I like to offer something to someone that will bring a smile.
I finally put a collection of the stories together in a book that will be available the end of June --the web site is up, the blog gives me a place to share ongoing photos of various aspects of cowboy -- and the further I go the more I learn how important that is --in places you wouldn't think would be uneducated about agriculture --they sure are. See web link below in my signature.
I read this board from time to time and just haven't taken the time to become an active part of it --but always like the feeling of family that abounds. I'd like to participate a little more in that. I see there are a few NM posters here so the "look" of my photos will look like home. To those of you up north, it'll be a look into the same world only different.
So for now, let me say HOWDY from New Mexico...
