Dean asked me to help him doctor a cow. I asked Josie to tend Quincy for a while in the house and she was crazy excited. As soon as Trig heard he was out the door because he wanted to come. Dean headed the cow and I started swinging my rope kind of teasing and Dean said "just heel it" so I did, I caught two feet and I guess it really surprised me because then I screamed my horse took off and I fell off. It was not pretty but I got back on and tried again. Caught two feet again and this time I dallied. I got a nasty bruise on my arm and a black eye that I was pretty proud of. On our way back to the house Dean was giving me advice on how to rope better, he is pretty sure we are going to be the next mixed ranch roping champions. Josie called me when we were almost back to the house in hysterics, she finally got out, "Mom come home NOW Quincy broke my microphone". She loved being old enough to babysit up until the microphone incident that was a real disaster.
