At one point in his life Jeff had made rodeo his whole life and his god. Perhaps there...
You know, Lord, fall is certainly in the air - just enough to make our blood strum; so, we know that it is time to tidy up for the coming winter. Town or country, cabin or mansion, postage-stamp garden or farm.
