Coming back from weekly grocery shopping
today I stopped by one of our trees and
picked a few grapefruit.

Happy 20th Annual National Day of the Cowboy!

NDOTC is dedicated to (from the website) "preservation of America's

Cowboy heritage so that the history and culture which the United States

Congress's National Day of the Cowboy resolution honors, can be shared

and perpetuated for the public good, through education, the arts,

celebrations, gatherings, rodeos, and community activities."

And to celebrate this year I am posting a picture of

a sheriff badge that I bought during one of my visits

to the Gene Autry Museum of Western Heritage at

Griffith Park, CA.

Tonight I will be watching a western movie classic: "Arizona"

(1940) starring Jean Arthur and William Holden. Old Tucson Studios

in Arizona was constructed in 1939 specifically for this movie.

This was the very first picture I ever took with my (then)
new Sony Cyber-Shot camera. The photo was HUGE.
For this post I WAY reduced it in size.

This camera was so good to me. I used it for most everything.

It took all the knocks and rough handling that came it's way
and NEVER let me down. I have zero complaints.
Good-by dear friend. We had

some times.

I salute you.

Civil War on Blu-ray. I've been wanting

to see this movie and now, I reckon I will.

Many years ago I found this picture on the internet, printed it

out and put it on my file cabinet. Why? Because this is where

where I sat with my family during my son's 16th birthday trip

to Disneyland and it holds a special memory.

I didn't have a camera back then, so I was happy to have this.

Fight.

Pull for help.

Happy Birthday America 2024!
