Met my friend Rick in College attending one of those Big 10 schools. Rick is a country boy. He was born and grew up on a farm in Indiana that was probably 40 miles from the nearest gas station in any direction. Rick has a few hundred acres of corn and runs a few cattle.

Rick had met the love of he life. A city girl from Elizabethtown, KY. Rick and I would often meet in Louisville and have dinner.

It was the weekend after Valentine’s day a few years back and me and my sister meet Rick for Dinner and he is devastated. He and Mary had broken up again. My sister asks how this could happen, he (Rick) had said he was doing something special for Valentine’s day.

Yep, I called Mary I had something special planned for Valentine’s day and she asked me how she should dress, and I told her to just wear what she normally wears. So on Valentine’s weekend I pick her up and she is all dressed up.

My sister says, well you said you were taking her some place special. Where did you take here?

And Rick says, I took her to the Tractor Pull and she was so mad. She got mud all over her dress and had a hard time walking in the mud in her shoes. (I never did ask if Mary was wearing heels)

Rick and Mary got married and now have 2 kids.
