Family boots

I wrote “An Orange County Girl’s Guide to Dude Ranching” over at MomCrush. 

Mosey on over and take a look-see, ya’all.  

(Promise, last of the cowgirl talk.)

    I remember when I was a horse rider and had fancy cowgirl boots! I love that cross-processing, I’ve used it for the new header I’m putting up tonight.
    I got my new camera, a Nikon D300, and feel like I’ve entered a whole new universe regarding photography. I’m slowly working my way through the user’s manual. We’ll see what happens…

    Great post! If ever I go to a ranch I will be sure to follow your list. It’s the perfect list for someone like me.
    Nice…throwing in Jason Mraz like that.

    I laughed about the cactus part, we did the same thing in Arizona, stopping in front of people’s houses to stare at and photograph cactuses, er, cacti? The dude ranch sounds like a wonderful experience. Your suggestions are right on. I’m an outdoorsy girl but I am afraid of horses. I’ve gone riding a few times but I’m a nervous wreck the whole time. The ‘stink eye’ thing is hard to shake!

    Jason Mraz attended high school less than two miles from my office. True story! He’s quite the local celebrity. The high school choir sang back up for one of his songs on his last CD:)

    My friend used to say that cowboy boots hit a little to close to home with our redneck upbringing — they are useful tools but nothing we want to identify with. But you make them look appealing, I must admit.
    I’ll go read now!
