More To Love 'bout Texas ~ Day Four, Five and Six

Yes, they have mansions in West Texas

andcows with expressions on their faces...he is thinkin'

"Say whut?"







This one could have been the inspiration behind

"Don't Mess With Texas" ~

Get a load of those Long Horns!


This one is thinkin'...


"Aint no way in hell you're going down this road, cowgirl."





AHHHHHHHH how I love to ride!



Especially in Texas were you can ride all day and never see even a house.

And last but not least...I love the Strong and Good Looking Cowboys~


AHHHHHHH ~ these are a few of my favorite things.


Our friendship with this cowboy, pilot, rancher, Judge has endured 45 years...years ago, he gave up flying to go back to his ranch in west Texas... While we were there, he gave us the grand tour to see that part of the world. Looks to me, he owns a lot of it.

We drove all day taking in some of his 6200 acres... I can't wrap my head about that number, can you?
Lunch time, we stopped at a little grocery store where the lady there had a little business making sandwiches for stragglers like us.
What a neat experience.

We really enjoyed the VERY WIDE and OPEN SPACES~
It was a lovely, lovely time there with Bobby.
We can't wait for Christmas as he will be here with us.
YEAH!!!

Story of Texas will be completed when I am back from Reunion and trip to Florida.

THEN will have yet another story to share. Thanks Travis for catching this girl in action. Texas is a BIG STORY to share.

He even caught me saying "Just one more."

Never have enough photos of a good thing.

Day Three in Texas ~ Putting Over 1000 Miles on Rental Car

We stopped at one of the oldest family cemeteries.


The intense heat, harsh winds blowing dirt, sand and rain onto tombstones soon wipe away all information left of the lives of forefathers.

Our destination took us by "The Hanging Tree" as it served just that purpose in that County in Texas. Of course, that was when judgement and justice were swift.

I can imagine a bunch of cowboys around the tree ~ saddled horses and dusty trails

as the backdrop.
None of our family were involved on either end of the rope.

We left Central Texas and drove across the state to West Texas to visit a dear friend.

OUR TOTAL MILEAGE on the rental car was over 1000 miles

and we never left the state.
