Clayton turned to Ray and said, “So Ray how about working the ranch today?”“It sounds nice, but I’m not sure I can, I sort of promised Donna that we’d go riding today,” Ray said.“Oh that’s too bad because there’s a cattle herd that needs moving really bad,” Clayton said. “The drought is making it hard for them to get the water from the creek.”“Ouch it sounds critical,” Ray said.“It is,” Clayton agreed.“Donna would you mind if we’d take a rain check on that ride?”“No not at all Ray, if there’s work to be done that should come first,” Donna agreed.“Thanks,” Ray said before he turned to Clayton. “Okay Clayton looks like we can move some cattle.”“Good,” Clayton smiled.The men got up to leave when Miss Ellie said, “Don’t over work yourself now Clayton.”“I won’t,” Clayton reassured Miss Ellie. “Come on Ray, we’ve got a lot of work to do…” Clayton and Ray left the table and Margaret said, “So mom, what are we doing today?”“I thought you wanted to spend time with your cousin Rebecca,” Donna replied.“I did but she said that uncle JR is taking her riding, just the two of them,” Margaret said.“Is JR going out riding with Rebecca?” Miss Ellie frowned.“That doesn’t sound like JR,” Donna added.“Well that’s what she said,” Margaret replied. “So what are we doing mom?”“Well Miss Ellie and I talked about going shopping so maybe you’d like to join us?”“Sure I’d love to,” Margaret smiled.</blockquote>
