King Ranch Quarter Horses!

Today has been a good one. This morning after we did our morning chores outside, I came inside and did some paperwork and cooked lunch, before we picked up Carol, at her ranch, to go with us to Kerrville to run a few errands.

The three of us laughed all the way to the big city, as Tony chauffeured us, in Buttermilk. Our first stop was at Billy's Western Wear, so T. could get some new cowboy boots and when the three of us walked out of the fabulous cowboy store—T. had new cowboy boots and I had a new, pretty purse.

Our next stop was at Wolfmueller Books for several reasons. One, to see Sandy and Jon, because we wanted to see them. Two, because they had seven Clyde Edgerton books to give to me, because he is now my new favorite author. "Thank you, Sandy and Jon."

And the third reason we went to Wolfmueller Books was to buy the book, The King Ranch Quarter Horses by Robert Moorman Denhardt, that they had gotten in, especially for me.

The second that we walked inside their cool bookstore, Sandy and Jon greeted us, from behind the counter and then the laughter commenced, as Carol, Jon and Sandy teased me about my new, pink horse blanket that I had purchased for Maya, my awesome Quarter Horse. "Wow, Nancy. I like your bright pink saddle blanket," Jon said, as he looked at the pictures of it, on my blog, on his computer. "Does it glow-in-the-dark?"

After taking some teasing about Maya's beautiful, pink, non-glow-in-the-dark saddle blanket, we talked about Maya's awesome lineage, as we took turns thumbing through, The King Ranch Quarter Horses book. Then after a fun visit with Jon and Sandy, Carol, Tone and I adios-ed our dear friends and headed for our last stop—H-E-B, to buy some groceries.

Early this evening Kinky called to invite me over for a visit. When I pulled up to the Lodge, in Trigger, Winston Churchill and Sophie S. Friedman came running outside to greet me, because Kink was talking on the phone, in his office. A few minutes later after Kink got off of the phone, he and I talked some rescue ranch business, while we petted The Friedmans and then we decided to go on a hike with them.

While we were hiking, I told Kinky about all of these people, who read my blog, sending me self-addressed stamped envelopes, because they want me to send them one of my free, "What Would Ronnie Do?" refrigerator magnets and it made him laugh. "I'm serious, Kinky. I had to order a bunch more magnets to keep up with the demand and today I received from our dear German cowgirl friend, Karin Pohlman, a stamp to cover the postage, because she and her husband Air-Gun can't wait to put it on their fridge..."

And that is about it for tonight, because I am going to spend this evening reading about the famous King Ranch Quarter Horses.

Y'all have a great evening! And Karin and Air-Gun—"It's in the mail! And everyone in Texas sends you our love."
