"July 4 Celebration"

We will be having a big fourth of July celebration here at the ranch. Give me a call for details.

"Pistol Packin' Paula"

This Saturday night Pistol Packin' Paula will be stoppin' by the ranch. I hope you get a chance to come by for a great evening, just hangin' out.

"Let's Go Fishin'"

The creek is running and stocked with fish. Bring your pole and I will show you where they are at.

John, Justin, and Morgan showed up early this morning and had a great time catching some bass and perch.

"Happy Birthday"

When you turn five you should have a party, get up with Buck and sing.

"Happy Birthday Cowboy"

"Great Time At The Ranch"

I wanted to thank Jerry Goff and family for stopping by the ranch for a few days. I hope the kids had fun horseback riding, swimming, hiking, shooting bow and arrows, and just hangin' around the camp fire.
Jerry has a TV show and will be featuring the ranch soon. You can check it out at http://www.allsortsofresorts.com/

"Sites And Sounds Of The Past"

On a recent trek to the old hangar and pilot's lounge here on the Flying L Ranch I couldn't help but imagine hearing the sound of an old twin-engine airplane as it started up one of its engines. I could imagine seeing the exhaust as it disappeared into the morning air. I could see frost on the ground, the hills in the background and someone having a fresh cup of coffee to begin their day. It was September 1947 (the year I was born) when they had the grand opening of the Flying L Ranch. Life and Flying magazines were here to document the occasion. The day started with a little flying over the Texas hill country, an afternoon fashion show and, of course, some Texas music around a camp fire at night.

Every once in a while an old timer will stop by the ranch and talk about the time he spent the afternoon watching planes take off and land. So next time you are here at the ranch you may want to take a walk over to the old hangar and listen. Maybe you will hear the sound of that old twin-engine startin' up!

"Big Buck And Little Buck"

Well we just finished up a great week of spring break at the ranch. While hangin' out around the campfire one night I had the chance to meet Buck. He called me Big Buck so I thought Little Buck would be a good name for him. Little Buck I hope you had a great time here at the ranch.
