Thanks to Cowboy Bob

Cowboy Bob loved taking the kids to the campfire
He told them stories about roping cattle, cleaning manure out of barns,
riding broncos, driving tractors, eating from a chuckwagon
They were fascinated by his stories
There was a lot of laughter
We grown-ups had our own circle and our own bonfire
Grateful that Cowboy Bob loved entertaining our children
It made our campout experience so much nicer

Caren, What a fine tribute to a gifted soul. I always wanted to meet him. “If you can’t say anything nice, don’t say anything at all” -Cowboy Bob -R
