Barb In The Old West

As is true with any of my guests, we always take a trip out to the Stockyards! Here's Barb in the Fort Worth jail........what happens in Fort Worth, stays in Fort Worth.........

A regular hardened criminal!

While in the Stockyards, Barb and I discovered something new that I had never found before......the 'playpen' for the cattle drive longhorns! They even have a board with the pictures of all of the 'stars of the show' and their names - how CUTE!

Here is one of them taking a nap in the sun - he's sleeping!

Actually, several of them are sleeping - I personally think that the longhorns that are in the daily cattle drives are geriatric and in hospice. They are so calm and slow-moving and docile (and did I mention CUTE??).

This one's name was my favorite - FRECKLES!

And parked right by the longhorn playpen was the official Stockyards car. It's SWEET! Here's me posing with it:

All decked out with cattle hides:

And of course, the hood ornament is a pair of horns!

Barb and I got to the Stockyards in the morning, so Big Jake was just arriving for the day - with his buddy. We got to watch him get unloaded from the trailer....

He's just a cutie patootie!

Here's Barb in the saddle bar stool:

We had a great time in the Stockyards and the weather could NOT have been better!
