"Mexico"

I don't guess I have ever seen him without a pair of spurs, hat, and faded starched jeans. Never questioned whether he had any cowboy in him, that's just the way it is. It's been sixty years now since Joe Bob first sat a saddle seat, and about four in the morning he crawls out of the bunk, heads out to feed the forty five head of horses here at the ranch. Lookin' out across all those horses is one that stands out from all the rest, black as my twenty year old black felt hat, a horse he calls Mexico. When he saddles Mexico crawls up in the saddle it's like one of those old cowboy pictures where the cowboy sits deep down in the seat just like he is a part of that old horse. That's old Mexico and the story of how he found him is just what you would expect out of a far fetched cowboy story.
Since this is just a short blog I guess we'll have to finish this story another time.

"Longhorn Comming"

Tonight, Thursday at 8:00 the Longhorn is coming. Bring your camera and get your picture taken. We'll be hangin' around the campfire and eating a bunch of smores.

"Tuesday Roping Contest"

Every Tuesday we have a little roping contest here at the main house. Tonight there was some real competition and it looks like Omar and Kollin came out with top honors. I think Omar must have practiced for about four hours. Great job!
One of our guest, Jesse, got an e-mail and told us the space shuttle and station would be passing over at 9:15. So we loaded everyone on the wagon and got out in the pasture just in time to see it. It was something we had never seen before. What an experience.

"Ranch Rodeo"

Well, last weekend Tawni and Dennis competed in our local Ranch Rodeo and had a great time. At one point Tawni was pulled behind a horse by a rope, sitting on a shovel. She said it was fun but I don't know if she will do it again next year. Anything for the ranch right?
It has been a long time since we have had rain here, Dennis is teaching the fish how to breath air, and I have been singing that song, singing in the rain. The temperature has been high but in the waterpark they tell me it is just fine.

Jody Jenkins

Well last Friday we had our steak night here at the ranch and were excited when Jody Jenkins came by to play a few tunes for us. What a great talent. It just goes to show you, never know what might happen here at the ranch. You can check him out at http://www.jodyjenkins.com/.

"Trip Advisor"

If you would like to see what everyone is saying about the Flying L Guest Ranch or would like to let us know how we are doing you can go to www.tripadvisor.com and get the scoop.

Still lots of summer left so come on out and take it easy awhile

"Return Of The Outlaws"

World Champion Trick Roper

Well I just got back from downtown Bandera Texas where Kevin Fitzpatrick was inducted into the Cowboy hall of fame here in Bandera. If you have ever seen him perform you will know why he is so highly respected. He truly deserves it. After seeing his show and hanging out here at the ranch 10 year old Alexander said this was the best time he had ever had in his life. That is what keeps us coming back.

Wayne congratulations on your first pair of boots and hat.

I will be singing around the campfire tonight and it looks like a great night for it, we will go for a tractor ride and probably see a couple hundred deer.

Something new here Nick is showing a movie every Wednesday night at 9:00 pm at the water park and it has been a real hit, you can watch the movie in the water.

I would like to stay in touch with all my friends so give me a shout.

Thanks,

Buck
