Hi JIMG. I know some of those, like that tall boy. He comes to visit every fall at state fair time. Not at our house but up the road about three hours. All your 'cowboys' are cute, the girl ones and the boys.
Yay. Did you go to the fair this year? We meant to...but didn't get around to it. I was hankerin for a fried ____ (fill in the blank with any food in existence!)
The third shot of the girl is my favorite. I like the unexpected colors of her pink hat and yellow shirt. Plus, her expression is very strong yet joyful.
Lovely collection! Cowboy hats are versatile and open to various interpretations. Now you've just given me next Wednesday's theme! Meanwhile, may I pick the cowboy quilt on pic 7 please? Thank you for stopping by, glad I visited!
heyy aunt m this is j....g-ma told me to put the first letter of your name...whatever lol but awwwwww look how cute i look and who is savvyprchick! do i kno her!?! ♥
I love Big Tex and I love pictures of Texans being Texans. I think we lived opposite lives. I grew up in Austin and moved to the metro Cincinnati area. We were in Texas last week and I was just soaking in the sites.

I am often asked to describe the experience of raising a child with a disability - to try to help people who have not shared that unique experience to understand it, to imagine how it would feel. It’s like this… When you’re going to have a baby, it’s like planning a fabulous vacation trip - to Italy. You buy a bunch of guide books and make your wonderful plans. The coliseum. The Michelangelo David. The gondolas in Venice. You may learn some handy phrases in Italian. It’s all very exciting. After months of eager anticipation, the day finally arrives. You pack your bags and off you go. Several hours later, the plane lands. The stewardess comes in and says, “Welcome To Holland”. “Holland?!?” you say, “What do you mean “Holland”??? I signed up for Italy! I’m supposed to be in Italy. All my life I’ve dreamed of going to Italy” But there’s been a change in the flight plan. They’ve landed in Holland and there you must stay. The important thing is that they haven’t taken you to a horrible, disgusting, filthy place, full of pestilence, famine and disease. It’s just a different place. So you must go and buy new guide books. And you must learn a whole new language. And you will meet a whole new group of people you would never have met. It’s just a different place. It’s slower-paced than Italy, less flashy than Italy. But after you’ve been there for a while and you catch your breath, you look around…and you begin to notice that Holland has windmills…Holland has tulips. Holland even has Rembrandts. But everyone you know is busy coming and going from Italy…and they’re all bragging about what a wonderful time they had there. And for the rest of your life, you will say “Yes that’s where I was supposed to go. That’s what I had planned”. And the pain of that will never, ever, ever, ever go away…because the loss of that dream is a very significant loss. But…if you spend your life mourning the fact that you didn’t get to Italy, you may never be free to enjoy the very special, the very lovely things…about Holland.
