Thankful for These

We went to the Ranch Rodeo Finals in Amarillo, it was a great event.  Nobody we knew was participating, but we enjoyed it just the same.  There was a poet from Cyril and a saddle/chap maker from Cement there sharing and selling their wares.  There were more spurs and bridle reins than you could count.  Big cowboy hats, short brimmed "Herbert Weedn" hats and everything in between, Jr. came home with a "Stormy Kromer" hat...it's a "cool cowboy" version of Elmer Fudd's hunting hat. Little Jr. came home with a new felt hat, of which has brought forth the nickname "Thumbtack".  There were little cowboys selling Australian Sheppard puppies, old cowboys selling squeeze chutes and a chick from Alva, Wyoming selling Giant Rubber Water Tanks....we've got one or two of her tanks. Can't break'em.  Anyway, it is a good trip, only four hours from home with plenty to see and do.  Our hotel was nice on top of all that!

Rocking my babies....who were PAST full after eating at the Big Texan...and no we didn't try the 72 ounce steak.
The waitress chick told us that someone tries it daily during the summer....I can't imagine...it is the size of a huge roast.
Must comment on the Quarter Horse Museum....AMAZING even on our second trip to see it.
