Not Everything is Bigger in Texas
Cowgirl Up!
This a bit of an unsual picture. Kathleen just returned from Fort Worth Texas where she had an exuberant time visiting Family catching up with old school friends. This shows that some “Facilities” are just not Texas Large. This was also the idea of the Cowgirl to whom these boots were attached. The night was filled with loud music, cold cocktails and lots of laughter – a typical night in The Stockyards!
