Mar. 1- Alpine, Tx
It's been a while since the last post but hello to all anyway. Just got back from the Trappings of Texas show in Alpine, Tx. What a great time we had. If you haven't been down I suggest you load up and go next year. This was my first year and I intend on going from now on. The show is held in conjunction with the Texas Cowboy Poetry Gathering on the campus of Sul Ross University, needless to say there are lots of things for one to see and do.
I have to apologize for not having a lot more pictures to post. That is something I need to work on, when I go someplace I always seem to forget I do own a camara and it is usually with me.
The chance for me to be around that many other craftsmen doesn't come along very often, so I was delighted to be there. I would like to send out my greatest thanks and appreciation to all the saddlemakers, bit & spur makers, silversmiths, rawhide braiders and artists that were so willing and open to the sharing of ideas. Those are the times when we all become better at our craft which then brings the public a better product.
On our way home we left out through FT. Davis to see some different country. I was really suprised to see how diverse the Texas landscape is. It's amazing to me how God has made the country so much different in less than a days drive. To me the landscape change and variety are proof that God does exist. Things seem to be placed in the perfect spot. Hills over there, valleys over here and so on. No random act of chance could have done that.
Well until next time may the sun be on your face and the wind at your back.
