All That Glitters - Annette Saarinen;Peyton Reese

He's a rodeo roustabout and sometimes songwriter, driving his daughter to Cheyenne, Wyoming in their well-traveled RV and pulling a horse trailer, to see her mother, a country-western singer, perform. But as they well know, life is what happens while we are making other plans.

Mandy turned to Sam. "Speaking of booty, Sam, I haven't had anything good since ... since you know when. I know I don't 'ride out in rhinestones and sequins with the sunlight on my hair,' but how 'bout we meet somewhere?"

He put a hand on her shoulder. "Mandy, you are not 'booty,' you deserve better. You deserve the best! A gal as nice and pretty as you will have no trouble findin' a good man, just as soon as you settle down a little. Take my word for it, it is hard to hit a moving target."

She placed her hand over his. "You're a moving target too, Sam. Maybe you need to settle down so a good woman can find you."
