Yes, but do you live in New England? ;-) Not so well received up in here.
Do you have to be a cowboy to drink beer in the barn? :) My 13 are up!
Your list brought back fond memories. I spent a summer working on a ranch (I was doing a bird study and the ranchers allowed us scientists to live and work on their land) I got to watch a branding, castration extravaganza. I loved the wide open spaces, the twang and humor of these people. I miss it.
My 13 are up. I am waaayyy behind reading my TT13s.
I say y'all all the time...but I live in SC. Wild Turkey, oh my! That was the very first shot I did on my 21st B-day!
