It's a "Boot"iful Halloween



Last year I posted about how hard it is to decorate a western home for Halloween.  Here is an update for a few new ideas.  Have fun.....

Festus, Got to Love Him

I love watching old westerns.  The other day I was watching Gunsmoke and the whole episode was about good old Festus.  He cracks me up.  His character comes across as an old Tennessee ridge runner but if you really listen to some of his comments he is much smarter than the average cowboy.



This would be so cute framed in a little boy's room.

A Sunrise Tailgate Breakfast


Texas sunrise at the Howell Ranch


It may be 105 outside but come every Sept.1 the Howell cousins gather at the Howell Ranch for the annual dove hunt.  We all share wonderful childhood memories of being at our grandparents house on opening day of dove season.  There would be lots of men in camo, gun shots sounding in the pasture, the sound of Jerry Lewis on TV for the MD Marathon, and the smell of chicken fried steak and coconut cream pie in the kitchen of the farm house.
