Another installment of Laramie a story by my Dad, enjoy!
Laramie was just finishing up her morning breakfast, she was at her favorite place, the Net, a local bar by night and best restaurant in town come morning time. Her breakfast was the usual nothing too heavy, biscuits and gravy, a side of sausage and bacon, a couple delicious hot cakes and a peanut butter fudge milkshake to wash it all down. Today was a special day at college, a local, well known rancher and sometimes western clothing model was instructing a special lesson today, buckle polishing. Boy was Laramie excited to learn this skill and from an expert. If she was lucky, maybe he’d tell her about how he makes his signature Valentine’s Day cereal breakfast, man would that make a cowgirl’s day!
Let’s get a move on, she could hear her bff, Sierra Nevada Lickenbottom “SNL” for short, hollering from the door, we gotta git to class! Laramie slurped the last 28 oz. Of milkshake and slid off her bar stool onto the hardwood floor and headed for the door. Just as she was exiting this fine establishment, she noticed a newspaper article posted on the billboard of the entrance porch, it read, “Local Boy Impresses All”.
The article was written by a paper more than 40 miles away and featured young Righteous Peckerman, why he’s a 22nd generation local and known far and wide for global achievements.
Leather braiding, line dancing, horse brushin, and diesel black smokin, were just a few of his trade school certifications he’d earned in his brief 7 year college experience.
Wow, Laramie thought as she stepped off the sidewalk and climbed into her King Ranch dually, that’ll be me someday in that paper. But for now, I got important learnin to git to.
