Saturday morning Donald and I left for Ft. Worth to go to the Tuff Hedeman Bull Riding Championship. We drove through Jacksboro and went into Ft. Richardson to check out the campgrounds. It was a really neat place and we plan to make a weekend of camping there real soon. That got us fired up on camping again. We went to Camping World where we picked up a few items for the camper and went onto Cabelas. We stayed a couple of hours there and decided it was time to head out to find a place to stay over night. Ok, now don't laught at me. Thanks Ashley for letting me borrow the boots!! I actually felt pretty comfortable in them. We got ready and went to Haufbraues Steak House for dinner. The whole meal was delicious. I told Donald that was the best steak I think I have ever had (so if you are ever near one I suggest trying it out). We arrived at the coliseum around 7 for the bull riding. It was great....except for the rude people that buy general admission tickets then try and sit in reserved seats. Needless to say, we missed about the first 5 riders because people were late and then had to run someone out of their seats while they stood up in front of you. Next, people were there to run back and forth and over you to go get their beer instead of watching the riders. There were 45 riders and then the top 10 rode again. One guy got hung up with a spur in the bull rope. It was terrible and seemed like forever till he got loose. There were about 10 guys hanging on the bull trying to get him loose. Once he was freed he walked out of the arena in pretty good shape. Some little bull riders, age 10 to 13 rode steers next. They were actually pretty good. Jason Bolin played after the bull riding. We did not know he was going to be there so that was a nice little extra. We gave it up about 11:30 and headed back to the motel.
Sunday we went to Cowtown and had lunch at Joe T's. We walked around Cowtown and browsed some stores for awhile. I told Donald, that it was kind of fun to just take your time and look around and not be on a schedule. The weather in Ft. Worth was a perfect 66 degrees and no wind. We left and headed to Muenster to pick up the meat from a hog we had butchered. Hey Whit, I found the dried jalapeno pepper flakes that I have been looking for. Well, we have 200 pounds of meat to share with all you girls and hubbies. We barely got it all to fit in our freezer.
Needles to say, we had a "great" time this weekend. It was enjoyable to go and just spend time with one another. Now, I am ready to stay home for a weekend or two.
