Wednesday 6~~~~~We are still in Colorado springs, Colorado and we went to the "Cowboy Hall of Fame" this afternoon after Kent did the laundry and I cleaned house real good. It is amazing how much cleaning it takes, from the road dust that manages to come in while we travel and of course Pepsi always sheds, I like to keep things vacuumed good. As a kid, my dad loved rodeo's and we went to a lot of them, back in those days, we could go out to where the Brahma bulls and bucking horses to be rode were penned up and all the livestock for the different events. I remember my dad taking us girls to watch the clowns (Days of 76 rodeo) put on their makeup before the rodeo started, back where the chutes were and all the hub bub was before a rodeo gets started. This was in Deadwood, South Dakota. I still have that love for rodeos, I keep my boots in the camper in case we get near a rodeo. The "Cowboy Hall of Fame" was very interesting, and I thought they really honored Casey Tibbs the way he deserves to be honored. (pictures of Casey young and older) I don't keep up on who the National Champions are anymore, but I sure knew all the old ones in the show cases and pictures. I guess I am telling my age now aren't I???? Kent took a few pictures of me outside with all the statues, they are beautiful and they really catch the real action of the cowboy and his horse.
