Monday, October 2. 2006A Dying Breed
As some of you may or may not know my grandfather passed away last week. I lived with my grandfather for about the first 5 years of my life. He was a big influence on my life.
He also was one of the last true Cowboys left. At one time in Riverton he had well over 30 Horses (Including some draft horses) Goats, Dogs, Geese, Ducks, Turkeys, Bees, and Chickens all at his place. About 7 years ago he moved down to be the trail leader for Rockin R Ranch in Antimony, Utah. Somehow this little Ranch in the Middle of this little speck of a town in the Middle of Utah caught the attention of The Tonight Show and moreso Ross the Intern. Last year he spent some time down there to drive cattle. I can't find a better link but for now here is a link to the video of that segment (Scroll down a bit) My grandpa is Jerry Lovelady on the video and his "wife" is Diana who helps Ross at the beginning.

Sideshow on :
The short version of the story is they've lived together for ~20 years, but never officially married, but everyone else in the family referred to her as his wife. While I, to make a point choose to refer to her as his "wife".
Wren on :
well I think that's pretty freakin cool.
Radar on :
That was very entertaining. And the fact that your grandfather got the last, and probably the funniest, joke is also really cool.
Sorry to hear about the loss of your Grandfather. |
