Blog-Bud Dan put a post up yesterday that talked about cowboys... and a good part of that post was about how he and his friends used to ride their hobby-horses all over the neighborhood chasing down bad guys and saving the ranch. It was only a few days ago that the subject of cowboys came up here at EIP... on Father's Day, actually... when we went off on a tangent talking about them and our youth. It goes without sayin'... yet I always do... that I was BIG into cowboys in my yoot. My parents had close encounters with the Poor House keeping me in cowboy paraphernalia, too. And I have proof of my last.
That's the intro. So cue up some appropriate music and return with us now to those thrillin' days o' yesteryear...
Weren't we cool? Heh.
That last photo is JUST TOO PRECIOUS!
ReplyDeleteAlso a trip down memory lane for me, as my family had some of that same furniture (my grandmother definitely had the corner table with diagonal shelf).
Love it ...
Love these old shots man...you and I had similar raising!

Those pics are so great! I can really see you (the grown man) in that last photo. What a lucky kid you were to have such great cowboy gear.
ReplyDeleteI'd sure like to have that tie today! That would freak-out my co-workers...
ReplyDeleteThose are wonderful! That last picture... I am pretty sure I've seen that same furniture - maybe in an aunt's house? I remember the chair with one arm...and the fabric was kind of like a nylon chenille or something?
ReplyDeleteI'm going to use the A word---adorable. I swear that last picture is too cute for words.
ReplyDeleteDamn, Buck, those are just some of the coolest kid cowboy pics EVER. You look absolutely at home cradling the rifle, and that last shot...
ReplyDelete"I'm the law 'round these parts, boys, and we don't cotton to folks like you. You've got 'til sundown to get out of town. And the next time you see me, it will be the last thing you ever see. Now, scat!"
Thank you ALL. You're much more than kind with your words.
ReplyDeleteThe last pictured suit would be stylish today.
ReplyDeleteLove it.
