The Boss

That's me!  An' yep, I'm the boss 'round here that's for sure.  Been 'round horses 'n' cows since I was knee high to a grasshopper.  When I was just a young whippersnapper I went to New York City 'an got me a job as Chairman of the Board of one of them big companies.  That was fine for awhile but, ya know once you've got the smell of cows an' horses in yer blood ya jus' gotta get back to the ranch.  

I used to rope the cows an' drive the ol' steam tractor, mend the fences and chase after all the critters.  I spent most of my time in the saddle 'til my favorite horse, "Walker," threw me one day and I landed smack on my keester.  Haven't been quite the same ever since.  I’ve had to take it easy an' let the younger hands round up the cows an' keep the place up.  My mind kept sayin’ “ride!”  But my bones jus’ say “ferget it!” 

I was gettin’ pretty tired of sittin’ ‘round, so awhile back I went down to Mexico with Aldolfo an’ Manuel to visit their families in Jalisco.  Well, that was the first of many trips explorin’ small towns in Mexico.  As I traveled the back roads an’ tiny villages, I started pickin’ up things I liked and sendin’ them back to the ranch.  So, between my travels south of the border an' our ranch hands and friends n’neighbors, we’ve collected so much interestin’ one-of-a-kind stuff that we’ve either gotta build a bigger barn or share some of it with you!  So, before you leave check out my Barn Sale.  The Missus says it's time for some of my "treasures" to GO!
