Grace and Other Whispers of Hope

Posted by on Jul 21, 2012 in Full Throttle Living, Reviews | 0 comments Some days, I think I was born too far north or too far east.  Deep down inside there’s a part of me that is all cowgirl.  I imagine myself herding cattle in western Montana or being crowned rodeo queen in Fort Worth, Texas.  Instead, I’ve traded the thrill of reigning in a 1200-pound quarter horse for rolling on the throttle of an 800-pound iron pony.   But for my new friend, Dave, he has...
