2010MY FAVORITE THINGS!
    SHORT LIST taken from a LONG LIST...

I HAVE BEEN THINKING…..  About some of my favorite things and thought I would write about a few in my blog.

First Up is my favorite cowgirl singer TEMPLETON THOMPSON!  My friendship with Tempe is one of those Serendipity moments that rarely happen...  I came across  her in an internet search last year. Her music, songs and lyrics spoke right to my horse lovin heart.   I fell in love with the song "Girls and Horses"  and wanted to create a slide show with it to feature some of my favorite girl and horse pictures in it.  Once created I posted it on the Western Shooting Horse Network.  Sent the Link to Dee Dee Trichter and from there the wheels started spinning.....

Denny Chapmen helped Dee Dee get in touch with Templeton.  She wanted to invite her out to Texas for her Ladies Trail ride.  Tempe came out with her husband Sam and from there an incredible friendship with the Trichters blossomed.    Tempe is now into Mounted Shooting and I finally got to meet her and spend a week with her and Sam at the Trichter's Ranch  during the Celebrate Bandera Festivites.   I love her, love her spirit, faith and her music.  So if you have not heard her sing, here's the video  of "Girls & Horses".
       
You can go directly to Templeton Thompson Website to hear more of her songs and purchase one of her Rockin line of T-Shirts!!!  Another Favorite, My "Planet Cowgirl" T-shirt!!!!

                                                            

Next on my list is WYO COWGIRL BLING.  Isn't it cool that there is a bounty of Gun and Pistol Jewelry for us Mounted Shooter Gals right now?  And no one has a bigger supply and best prices than another good friend of mine Tammy Burr (also known as Calamity Jane).  Her moto is "Bling without the $ting!"

My friendship with Tammy is another one that I can thank the Trichter's for!  I just love this lady when she is Tammy and I love her when she's Drunk Calamity.  So if you are looking for some great Jewelry, purses, pistol flip flops, ect.  Go to her website and take a look!  Tell her Jana sent you.....www.wyocowgirlbling.com
    
                                                             

Some FAVORITE PEOPLE:  This brings me to Gary & Dee Dee Trichter.

Since they are responsible for the first two favorites!  I am so blessed to have them in my life!  Bob and I met Gary and Dee Dee in 2005 at the Texas State Mounted Shooting Championship.  Back then Dee Dee and I were both Level 2 shooters and we were battling it out against each other in 105 degree heat with 100% humidity.  We ran six stages in that extreme and miserable heat!!!!  I think the only reason I ended up with the Buckle is that Dee Dee was overcome with heat exhaustion.  She still tells me that I have her buckle......

Most of you know Gary better as Buffalo Bill Cody.  His generous heart and gracious manner are a living tribute to the "first" Buffalo Bill.  Dee Dee and Gary make their home on their  ranch in Bandera, Texas in the The Hill Country of Texas another one of my favorite things and my heart sings when I am there!!!!  Celebrate Bandera is also on my list!  I have had the pleasure of participating in Buffalo Bill's Wild West show for two years in a row.  I am Belle Star the Bandit Queen and I get to rob the stage!  For pictures of the Stage Coach with the beautiful Dee Dee driver and for more pictures of Buffalo Bill go to the Cowboy Capital Mounted Shooters Website Love you Two!

   BUT NUMBER 1 ON MY FAVORITE LIST....  12 GRANDCHILDREN & 1 MORE ON THE WAY!!!

 


SUCCESS: To laugh often and much; To win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; To earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; To appreciate beauty, to find the best in others; To leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded.
