Howdy, ma'am. I'm new 'round these parts, but the missus asked me to show you a coupla things while she's busy doin' that stuff that womenfolk do: soakin' a quilt and scrubbin' some Pyrex and washin' up some Lu-Ray dishes. I'm the best thing she bought at that there 'state sale, but I'll show you 'round.
Here's some buttons for mendin' britches and such.
A whole passel o' Christmas decorations.
Got no idea what's so special about this. Looks like a paper bobcat to me but the missus says it's a "vintage Halloween cardboard candy container."
If you ask me, this is the only decent thing she bought other'n me. It's a woven cowboy bedspread. It's a nice sandy brown color 'stead of gray, but the light's kinda funny around here. The bedspread's got these nice bloomin' cactus and a cowboy on a buckin' bronco and squares that look like a big old lasso. Right nice.
The cowboys are branding the cattle here. Makes you glad to be a horse sometimes.
So that's the Friday roundup. Straight from the horse's mouth.
You finally have your own prickly pear - and lots of other fun stuff!

Yes, yes, yes to the buttons and Christmas decorations, but who wants to fall asleep looking at a branding? Yikes.

Love your horsey! I am a sucker for these homemade stuffed animals. I only have a few, like most of my "collections."
