My Favorite Things

My favorite song

Seven Spanish Angels

is playing now

coke poster

My favorite drink

is Coca-Cola (especially when I'm out of Swiss Mocha). Some call me a cokaholic, but then what do my family and friends know?!
On occasion I DO drink other things, but don't happen to have a Coors or Kahlúa poster handy. Water? Ugh! They've gone an chlorinated it most places and made it smell funny, not to mention taste yucky. Believe I'll just stick to the coke, thank you very much.

rose belt buckle

My favorite belt buckle

is one I purchased for $20 from the lot boy when I was selling used cars. Well, actually I loaned him the twenty and wound up getting the belt buckle in exchange. Wonder what he planned to swap me for the other $20 I loaned him just before he quit. Bet it was a doozy!

My favorite belt

armadillo belt
is one we purchased while on a trip to a Cowboy Poets Roundup (where I performed) in Pendleton, Oregon.

Carol & Sassy My favorite saddle horse

is my Arabian-Quarter Horse filly named Sassy. A Christmas present from my husband, the little sorrel (14.3 hands) was purchased at auction November 23, 1997. We've had our ups and downs (two black eyes, a broken nose and broken thumb -- mine, not hers) but she's comin' along fine now and I've learned to stay in the saddle. This photo was taken November 25, 1997, when she was turning four and I just slightly older. ;-)

Silver City Idaho

My favorite haunt

is Silver City. Established in 1863, Silver was the first county seat of Owyhee county, Idaho Territory. One of the richest mining areas in the nation, Silver was the first city in Idaho to have electricity and when Idaho applied for statehood in 1890, was nearly chosen over Boise [City] as state capitol. If you haven't, you may want to view an old photo of the Idaho Hotel, or read the Wells Fargo poster that hung there: Stagecoach Etiquette

Calf Lamp
My favorite lamp shade

is made from photos taken on the ranch by my grandmother. The lamp, custom made by a cousin, is hand-carved driftwood with the Rafter-H brand inlaid on it. Its mate's inlay is of the 7 Lazy-H. These were just two of several brands registered to my grandfolks while they lived and ranched in Malheur county, Oregon.
