Yep, it's spring time in cow country,
and the sounds of cattle being gathered, marked and branded, echo through the hills...

Yesterday was spent with my attorney among the saddles, bits, and cowman deco of his office, with his Border Collie Pancho at our feet. This morning was spent pulling and copying documents that he requested. Got that done and delivered to his office, when a friend texted she would come over for afternoon tea and a chat. Well I drink coffee and don't really have a nice lady like tea cup to my name. So after I picked up some Earl Grey and cream I went in search of a tea cup. I stopped off at one of the local thrift shops, no nice tea cups. On to another thrift shop, several possibles, but not quite what I was looking for. About ready to say the hell with it, she can drink out of a Fiestaware mug, when I turned around and there stacked up against the counter was a framed print. Oh My Gosh, it was the framed print I have been keeping on the look out for for nearly 30 years.*
*A bit of the back story, I bought the same print years ago, it hung in my living room on the home ranch. A friend always said she liked it (it does look a great deal like her son). After a while I gave it to my Sean for his house. With all our moving and his moving it got lost. Way back then, the friend mentioned that if I found another she would like one.
Today I ran right into it! Took a pic of it, sent it to her, and said, "Look what I found, if you still want it it's yours!" Her reply was "YES, PLEASE!!" So the framed print came home with me. I have a few small dings in the frame to fix, and it will be delivered to her, at their ranch. I'm so tickled to have found it for her.
A flowerdy mug for one friend, and a framed print for another... Much better day today!
