family

Anne called his cell..
"Seth and Isabelle are both going to be here this weekend,
I thought we should plan a trip on Saturday to the Trace.
It's been a while since we rode the trails."
Jesse agreed it was a great idea, 
and he knew Seth would want to rope on Sunday.
"I am going to call Steve and see if he wants to come over Sunday,
ask him to bring a few Steers for some team roping.
You want to cook for everybody?"
It was unusual for both Seth and Isabelle to be home at the same time.
Even though Seth is only 15 minutes from the ranch at Ole Miss,
his football and studies keep him there 90% of the time.
Isabelle actually comes home more than he does.
Having them together on the same weekend always turns in to a party.
Isabelle is studying to be a Vet, a large animal Vet, focusing on Equine.
She can ride better than most guys, and is good with a rope.
Seth won calf roping events all through junior high and high school.
He almost gave up football for a Ranch scholarship to New Mexico State,
but he decided instead to make football his focus and roping his hobby.
Jesse and Anne were glad, they liked him being close.
Jesse put the guitar on the stand.
He opened the door to his office and Russ ran in..
"You want to go for a ride boy?!"
As soon as Russ here's the word "ride" mixed with the word "go", he goes nuts.
He starts whining, turning circles, barking with abandon, and runs to the truck.
Jesse opened the door and Russ leaped onto the old bench seat.
He took his place on the passenger side,
looking out the window, hoping to see a squirrel.
