If I Had A Nickel... (Symphony in the Flint Hills)

If I had a nickel for every hour I spent around a covered wagon in my life, I'd have a lot of dang nickels.

If I had a nickel for every hour I spent around 'second dads' like him, I'd have a lot of dang nickels. 

If I had a nickel for every time I helped hitch a team growing up... 

...Every time I saw them make this familiar circle and back up to the front of the wagon...

If I had a nickel for every hour I got to shoot the breeze with our Amish friends....

...Or hear these two shoot the breeze...

If I had a nickel for every time I considered sticking my head in right next to my horse and getting a big drink of cool water also...

If I had a nickel for every time I ended a day by following a covered wagon off into the sunset... I'd have a rich life indeed.  This life may not fill the piggy bank but it fills the soul.
