Best Way to Get a Cowboy to Saddle Up... Tell Him He's Too Darn Old!

‘Vintage’ photo of Ray from Dallas and Susie

This picture proves I have been hooked on Cowboys for a long time! Ray from the hit TV show “Dallas” flew in for a big promotion for a feed and western wear store Mr. Blackmon and I owned and operated in Sarasota, FL many moons ago when we were not blissfully married. I was in charge of the tack and western wear, and loved flying to Dallas twice a year to the Dallas Market to order all the Lucchese, Tony Lama and Justin boots, as well as the beautiful leather coats and outfits that were so popular during the years of the “urban Cowboy and the rhinestone Cowgirl.”  Thoughts of running off  to Southfork Ranch with Ray (i.e., Steve Kanaly) ran wild in my mind!

We have snow outside this morning here in the mountains of North Carolina.

Nice photo Susie!  Where does the time go?  I remember Dallas but just barely.

Nice photo!  Funny the people that we can meet in the journey called life.

And, IMO, there is nothing nicer (well almost nothing) than a pair of Tony Lama boots with a J-toe and a riding heel.    And Justin made some of the best rough-outs I ever owned.

Susie, you and Ray make a nice couple. I guess we need a time machine to bring that whole scene back again.

Ah....Dallas and Southfork! Those were the days....altho I was MUCH more partial to Dynasty! Sorry...not to many cowboys there!

But what a great picture and treasure to have!

Looking forward to seeing you next month!

Carol, you are so right about the toe and the heel! You know your boots! I loved fitting people in boots.. there's an art and knowledged involved to get a good fit.

Bill... ;-) Spank spank!

Audrey, he was a tall and handsome hunk, and I'm sure he still is.

Terrie, me toooooo!

Gary, there are several scenes I'd love to go back to!

Thom, yes, I'm looking forward to next month too. Dynasty was great too... except for no hot Cowboys!

Oh, if only we could turn back the clock a few years... :)

There's a pair of Justin's in my closet that haven't been on my feet in ages.. I might have to break them out after reading this.
