Cowboy Up

We finished up the Summer Tour 2006 at my folks' house in Louisiana. Around the One Bridal Ranch, the expression "Cowboy Up" is taken very seriously by my boys and my godchild, Tyler.

Cowboy 1 loves to ride and his buddy is Vinny, the 15 year old that apparenly never tires of hearing "giddya up".

Cowboy 2 got his first riding lesson this summer and proved that he could keep up with big brother any day.

Cowboy 3 is still not aware that Clarisse the hen got 'et up by "something" in the barn. He thinks she's on vacation... in Chicago.

The girl cousins in Louisiana were thrilled with the belly dancing gear I brought from Dubai - so much so, that our backyard game of baseball was accompanied with the jingle of silver coins.




If you happen to be in the market for a Peruvian Paso - Mom and Dad will set you up. These horses have the smoothest gait of any horse. In fact, it's so smooth, ladies, you can even ride without a bra! Here's an aerial photo of the ranch. Ya'll come on down and cowboy up.
