    Thanks for the photos and stories 😃 I'll show them to my wife, she's from Ukraine, and I have tried to tell her about the ''cowboy culture'' here in the states. She didn't get the cowboy boots and dress shirts I tend to wear until I explained to her my family's history and that in my part of the world, the boots, hats, and such is to us what vishyavankas are to her. Like I said earlier, I'm pretty urbanised, but my mom broke horses and competed in rodeos until a horse fell on her, and I already told you about my grandfather and great grandfather. So, your photos will have a value that outlives our conversation 😃

      Take your wife to a local rodeo and go back to where the cowboys are getting ready. That's where my wife learned about traditional American men being a different breed. She saw a sort of cleanness and nobility about them. 

      I was watching my wife taking photos of the cowboys at a rodeo. She was by a several who were on horses waiting for the calf roping event, when one guy just stepped off his horse and handed her the reins saying, "Hold my horse for a minute, would you please, ma'am?" And just walked off and left her holding his horse. I was beside myself laughing because I'm sure that cowboy never thought he was handing the reins to a girl who had practically never seen a horse before.

      That's funny because my wife is from Russia and her father from Ukraine. I met her when I was working in Russia for a couple of years. I had a job teaching Russians how to be cowboys and operate beef cattle ranches for a Russian company, "Miratorg."

      My wife didn't get the cowboy thing either. She's more the "opera" crowd. She likes rodeos now, though!
