Dreamin of Forth Worth Texas

I LOVE a lazy Sunday afternoon, don't you?

Having a late breakfast & hanging out in your jammies till noon...what's not to like!

But on this Sunday afternoon, I'm missing my Sweet TEXAS.

Maybe it's all the pics I've been seein of all my Girly Friends in Canton...

Sewww, I'm taking a trip to Fort Worth today, ya wanna come along??

There's nothin quite like the neon glow of Old Town Fort Worth & The Stockyards.

I dream that I'm rich enough to go into Leddy's to have

a pair of custom Cowgirl Boots made just for me.

What kind of design would I chose?

Would they fit me like a glove & not even kinda hurt?

Oh, that would be pure Heaven!!!

When I was there in the spring for the antique festival in Round Top,

my sweetest friends Charlene & Cindy took me & Karen

for a night on the town in the Stockyards & that red & green neon

has been glowing in my memories ever since.

The streets look like an amusement park, with one little restaurant & bar after another.

Can anybody say, let's party 'Texas Style'??  ;)

Now, partyin Texas Style requires two main courses,

Beer & Beef!!!

Can I get a Yell Yeah???

{sorry to all you vegetarians out there, my sister included}

Our chaperone's, I mean tour guides, took us to what has to be one of the

COOLEST spots in town, the H3 Ranch! We had an awesome meal there, but

do you know what I remember the most from that fabulous meal?

The BEANS!! Yep, those damn beans were to die for!

And on top of being the coolest looking spot in town with the bestest food,

H3 also has a little interesting history to it to.

Seems that Bonnie & Clyde hid out in that top floor, corner room in the hotel

attached to the restaurant after one of their murderous, robbing sprees.

How EXCITING!!!  :O

Here's The Wild Bunch itself...

Karen, Cindy, Charlene & Boyfriend,

My GANG!

We may look nice, but we're ready to RUMBLE!!

Are ya gettin a taste for Texas yet?

I have a little bit of drool in the corner of my mouth, just thinkin about it's yumminess!

OK, so where else can you go & see a possum hanging from the

ceiling & a Buffalo Butt sticking out of the bar...

Texas Baby, Texas!

OMG, I think that buffalo's butt has been violated with a rather large toothpick.

Someone has defiled that poor old buffalo's butt.

{just promise when I die you won't let anybody do this with my butt,

I'd turn over in my grave}

I just LOVED Fort Worth's Stock Yards, tooooo fun!

Now, we are really going backwards in time.

This was the very 1st place I made poor Charlene take

us after she picked us up at Love Field in Dallas.

I HAD to see the BOOK DEPOSITORY!

You know, The Book Depository in Dealey Plaza.

I'm a history buff & am fascinated with any kind of history, so there was no

way I could go to Dallas for the first time & not see Dealey Plaza.

As Miss Charlene said, "Not one of Texas's finest hours.", but regardless it is

an important part of American History.

And 48 years after a man stood in one of those windows with a rifle & killed our President,

after 48 years of speculation, conspiracy theories & the Zapruder film,

I got to see the Grassy Knoll for myself.

It gave me goosebumps...

My Charlene is sooooo GOOD to me!!

Sewwww Sweet Hearts, I hope you enjoyed our Sunday in Texas!

We got a lot of Fort Worth, a little Dallas, a whole lot of Woot Woot

& y'all just remember, my boots are out, my bags are packed & 

I can't wait to get me back there!

Even if it is Hotter then HELL!  ;)

XOXO
