"Dixie hurry up or your going to be late." My mom yells. "Be right down." I yell back. I run down the stairs while putting my blouse on. "You are just like your father y'all can be up early but still tale forever." Mom says. She helps me tuck my shirt in an I put my boots on an grab my hat. "But daddy all ways won to now." I say. We walk out an I check on Brownie an then hop into my dad's truck. "Yes but had to rush to get things done like we will have to do." Mom says. I laugh an we drive to the rodeo while listen to country music until we got there an dad parked an I jumped out an ran to the sign in table. "What is your name dear?" The lady at the table ask. "Dixie Jackson." I say. She wrights down my name an hands me a number. "Go that way with your horse be ready y'all go after bare back riding." The lady says. I Thank her an walk to the truck an tell dad were to park an when he does I get Brownie out an saddled up an ready to go. "Hey Dixie the new farm hand is here so be nice." Dad says.

"But if you keep you sister an brother with you then yes you can stay but you will have to ride back to get your truck." Dad says.
