WYATT GETS HIS HOLSTER AND WE GOT CHILI DOGS!!!

The other day I made Buttermilk biscuits. They turned out very good and I had a good time making them.

As you can tell, one is missing. I just couldn't wait. While still nice and warm, I put a pat of butter on them and watch it melt. Then I added jalapeno jelly! Heat and Sweat!

Wendy's son Wyatt is 5 years old. He has a cap gun but he couldn't carry it. So Ralph made him a holster and gun belt. He showed us some fast quick draw moves too. He really liked it and gave us a big hug.

Now he wants a pony. Oh Oh! It must run in the family. The Herbert's were Team Ropers when their children were growing up. Every weekend all 4 kids and Dad would enter roping competitions at rodeo's.

Hoppy tells a funny story. He said the rodeo roping competitions paid for their kids college tuition. You would think it was from the money they won in rodeo, but no that wasn't it. It was when their kids got into high school, they became very good and big in sports. One day they said they did not want to rope anymore. So Hoppy sold all the horses, the herd of roping calves, saddles, roping equipment, gear, horse trailer and truck. That money sent their kids to college. We always got a chuckle out of that story.

Loy soon whipped up cheese chili dogs on buttery toasted buns with onions and jalapenos! Oh my were they good! Ralph and I love hot dogs!

The Herbert Ranch house is decorated with with western and Native American relics through out. Everything from horse collars, buffalo skulls, tomahawks, to bits, horse shoes and spurs.

I always love spending time in their cozy ranch house.

On the say back to our "Back 40" I caught a glimpse of our rolling ranch house through the mesquite tree.
