We all know how important teamwork is to the success of an event.  Well, I had an opportunity to view first hand a different form of teamwork in action.  Attending my first "Team Roping" event in Salado, Texas was an exciting learning experience for me.  James Scott, husband of Nita, our Membership Administrator, is a team roper. During this event he was randonly chosen to team up with a partner.  While on horseback,one partner needed to rope the horms of a steer and the other the legs in a quick paced timed event. They both brought talent, skill and experience. All wonderful qualities that I hope one brings to a team.

We all need to take time to relax.  It is even better when you can get away.  I was able to do this and spend time with family. Puerto Vallarta was the destination of a mini family vacation.  I joined my mom, sister, brother-in-law, niece and nephew for a wonderful relaxing vacation.  They traveled from Connecticut and I met them in Mexico.  During our special time together, we experienced an extreme dolphin swim that proved to be very exciting. It was amazing to dive underwater being led by two dolphins. I came back tanned and very relaxed. Take time for yourself.  It can be energizing!
