Hoedown album, a little late

Well, I have been trying to wrap up all sorts of things before the summer break up in NH.

One of those things I was trying to do was create a Hoedown slideshow to music that I could stick up on Youtube. The problem is that I am just not that computer smart to get it going....yet.

So in the meantime, I'll just share my snapshots of the evening that many of my freinds and family helped share with me. When all was said and done we had about 145 guests, and it was great to see them all.

Just before countdown, the tent is up, the bar and food tables get dressed, and the arts and craft table for the kids gets ready for action. When the guest arrivem they all really get into the spirit of being cowboys and cowgirls. And people came bearing gifts, which was a wonderful, unexpected and unnecessary surprise.

Mostly we all ate, drank, and hung out at the ranch. The margaritas and cosmos flowed, along with Corona and Dos Equis. And the Tex Mex food got gobbled up by all of us hungry cowhands.

It was great to see many old friends from out of town...

..and near by, too.

And in my journals people drew their fantasy cowboy boots, along with their own ideas about cowboys

Thanks to everyone for making the night a special one!
