Texas Spring/Summer Thread

She has a fish in one hand and her I-phone in the other. As you mentioned earlier, you can't separate kids and phones these days.

The bad thing about that is the fish tale did not have time to grow. I bet all her friends (favorites/contacts) had the picture of her fish before it even got off the hook.
Gone are the days when you spread your hands to show the size of the fish you caught.:dolphin:

I would love to have had a video of her. Her eyes got as big as saucers when she caught that big fish and it started fighting. She just froze up on the reel and started running up the bank. Those experiences are rare and wonderful.

Now that's a "stocky" white calf!! Almost looks like some chianina blood! Like the White face mama too:thumbsup: I always did better at the sale if my calves had a little White on them.

Havent seen hide nor hair of a Bluebonnet or Indian paintbrush here yet, but the pears and Redbuds are at full bloom.

Ahh... looks like a little Brahman in their somewhere:laughing: They sure took after "dad". I liked some Brahman blood in mine, seemed easier to keep in our environment.

White colfs dad charolia(he got one cow before salebarn) and the other out of the new black angus bull I got last year,just for the heifers. Also have another older reg.6yr old black angus bull on the cows..

I like to have a cple cows bred to a braham,neighbor had one that got a cple cows one year and they sure looked good but was bull calves,would have kept the heifers. He went to red angus bulls this year...

Well, I think I have rested long enough after getting home at 1:30AM yesterday morning. My daughter, Rebecca and I went to see George Strait's last (what I hear) concert in his............"The Cowboy Rides Away" tour. We got there early to see the end day of the Livestock show and see the Ag Mechanics contest projects before they went home. Well, the last projects were loading up on trucks and trailers when we got there.

I sure wanted to see all of them and the sheep dog trials Sat. afternoon, but didn't wanna brave the crowds on two days in a row. Anyway.............we did catch the dog and disc (or frisbee) contest. We kept walking back and forth from the seats there to the stadium, in what became a hot and very windy day, to see if the gates opened at 4:30, at 5:00, at 5:30 and at 6. I think the gates finally opened for 80,000 fans a little after 6 for a concert that started at 6:30. Poor pregnant Rebecca's feet hurt from all the walking. They did the same thing in the summer of 2009 when George opened the new Cowboy stadium in HOT June. That time we didn't have an air conditioned Reliant Center to retreat into.

Anyway, we had a blast and we both wore our green T shirts for St. Patrick's Day! Rebecca and I have journeyed to 5 different George Strait concerts now. It is one of our traditions. We didn't get to go when I had 3 surgeries in 2 years three years back. I would post the video of George coming back out for an encore with all the hollering going on, but it is just too big of a file even to email.

Exactly. I put the radio on some country stations and I swear, for a minute, the radio is not on a "country" station. I listen to the oldie station mostly.
