Buckin' In The Falls 2012 - A Championship Bull Riding Event

This is what date night looks like on the plains, Championship Bull Riding at Buckin' In the Falls 2012 in Wichita Falls, Texas, with seats close enough for the bulls to kick dirt on you as they go by. There's a time a place for heels and pearls, but life doesn't get much better than boots and jeans and bull riding on a Saturday night.

Coming Soon - A Video Do-Over

I would hardly call myself a perfectionist, but the videos I posted a couple of weeks ago, just weren't what I had envisioned. So, new camera in hand, I'll soon be on the hunt for new video footage (this time not of me or my sweetheart).

Don't be shy. Leave a comment here if you have ideas or suggestions about what you would like to see.

Check back here in a couple of weeks for an update. : )

What Kids on the Plains Do for Fun

These kids were amazing, pushing their horses to round three poles, weaving in and out between, as fast as they could, then heading back to finish at the starting line. This is a playday, and it's their idea of fun. With times like 16 seconds, there must have been lots of hard work leading up to this day of fun.

 

 

 

Simply DelecTable Catering and the Simply Delightful Cowgirl

Julie is one of the most delightful cowgirls you'll ever meet. She raises cattle, ropes, and rides, teaches church youth and volunteers for church camp. If you said something ugly to her, she would be more likely to hug your neck and call you honey than say something ugly back.

We went to lunch shortly after I moved back to the plains, and she told me she was starting a catering company, Simply DelecTable. I knew it would be successful, because she's just too nice to serve people food that is anything other than delicious.

Simply DelecTable, about a year in, is off to a great start. Here in our little farm town, we're lucky to have her offering lunch every Tuesday. The Marlboro Man sandwich, one of my favorites, was on the menu today. All that meaty delicious goodness served up with grilled peppers and onions on a savory roll had my mouth watering before I even got there. I almost had to buy two because I wasn't sure I could stave off eating it until I photographed it for this post, but I did . . . just barely.

And brownies galore on the menu today! Of course, I needed to sample eat one of each kind for this post. A girl's got to do what a girl's got to do. Sigh. (They were delicious!)

Will make you love Oreos like only a kid can.

Twix Brownie

The candy bar should be name after this brownie

instead of the other way around. It's that good.

Texas Legends 2012 Production Sale - Waggoner Ranch - Electra, Texas

Almost 100 horses sold at the Texas Legends 2012 Production Sale held at the historic Waggoner Ranch in Electra, Texas yesterday. Inside the sale barn, cowboys showed off ranch horses' skills and ranchers found great horses at great prices.

Outside in the warm up area, it was strictly business, as the cowboys prepared the horses to show for sale.
