"The hired hands have to know ranching, bring their own horse and tack and they can bunk out in the bunk house or travel to the ranch each day. We can decide that when we interview them. I want Becky to come to work for us, to give you another girl here on the ranch. I hope you can persuade her to take our offer.""So how do we get the word out that we are looking for hired hands?""When we go into town today, every place we stop, we'll mention that we are putting on four ranch hands. The word will spread easy through the grapevine. We don't need no ads around here."We were upstairs in our bedroom and grandpa switched to pants instead of shorts and I questioned why he did that and all he said was, "Ain't nobody want to see these bony white legs of mine. They'll spend all day looking at your legs though."I went to my old room and pulled one of my shorter tank tops out of the dresser drawer and held it up to me in the mirror. I remembered this particular top came just below my small t

Snake bought some .243 shells for his rifle and some shells for his pistol. We waited for him to pay his bill and we all walked out together. Grandpa had me slide my boxed rifle under the saddle in the bed of the truck and put a few thing on top of it. He said, "We need room inside the truck for the cold stuff from the market. The rest can go back here."Grandpa asked snake if he had any other place he needed to go and he thought for a moment then said, "No, Frank, I'm good."We got back in the truck and drove down the street to the market. We went inside and I pushed one cart and snake pushed another. Grandpa put the majority of the stuff in the cart and I stopped along the way and picked up what I needed for the kitchen. Together we filled our cart and then I remembered, we were getting low on beer and water. I told him I wanted to get some raspberry wine coolers because they were good, but he'd have to buy them for me.Grandpa turned to snake and said, "We need beer. As much as I l

Mom tried her best to sound enthused as she congratulated me on my horse and getting a rifle to shoot varmints. She warned me to be careful with the gun. I assured her that grandpa gave me safety instructions before he let me fire his rifle and would probable give me more instructions.I told her we were going to go into the city and grandpa was going to buy some cell phones so we could send her pictures of me when I get dressed up in my new country girl or cowgirl clothes with my boots and spurs on.Again, we could hear the strain in mom's voice as she told me she couldn't wait to see pictures of me all dressed up. She said she would show the other ladies on the block my pictures when she got them.Then I said, "Mom, the real reason I called you is to ask you a question about passing out during sex. I told her about enjoying sex with grandpa and ... well ... I don't remember much about what happened. Can I give grandpa the phone and let him explain it to you?"Suddenly there was conc

"Not really," grandpa said, "If you want to get me the phone book, I'll look up his number and call him."I went into the house and got the phone book out of his office and took it out to grandpa. I handed it to him, and he set the phone down and looked up the guy's number. He called him a few minutes later and told him who he was and asked if he could make a couple of picnic tables. The guy must have said yes because grandpa asked me, "How long do you think they should be."I looked at snake who thought about it for a few seconds before he said, "Frank, I think they should be at least eight-foot-long for a tabletop and at least four foot wide. That way you can put the food down the middle of the table and have room on each side for people to put their drink and plate down."Grandpa relayed the dimensions of the tables to the carpenter and he said, he could have them done tomorrow afternoon because he wasn't that busy presently. He said if we wanted them painted, it would be an extra

The sound of the tractors faded in the distance and I had already begun my morning chores of feeing the animals. This morning I had one additional animal to feed, MY HORSE. I walked down to his stall again and looked at him then went back to work. The sun came up and the heat of the day started to roast me. I splashed water on me from the hose and the warm air blowing past my wet body did cool me down but only for a little while.When I started cleaning the pens, I was really sweating. I vowed to clean two more pens and then I would rinse off again. I made my goal and was about halfway rinsed off when I saw Bart's truck pull up to the barn with a cement mixer behind it. I quick rinsed off my face and shut the water off. I stood up straight as Bart got out of his truck and the passenger doors opened. Three girls got out of the passenger side and paused to look at me and I saw one of them turn and was going to get back in the truck when the other two stopped her. By that time Bart had w
