It was Sort of Like a City Folks Hoedown

Not Just Women Dancing with Horses

 

 

There were a dozen or so, gals in kimonos, dancing with wooden, hobby horse looking things.

Back in the good old days, I bet they were riding real horses.

Equines are probably forbidden now, at the Juri-uma Parade because it's within the city limits.

But, they had other gals, doing folk dances, that any country boy would enjoy.

 Some of them came out on the stage hootin' and hollerin' barefooted.

 They were smiling, stomping their feet and, swinging those blades.

Just when you think, it can't get no better than this, it does.

The gal in charge of those with sickles and sticks, got them all off the stage.

And here's where the real hoedown stuff begins.

These girls were barefoot, smiling and dancing, too.

But, they were swinging some pretty authentic looking hoes.

Tell me, that don't remind you of a good old country hoedown !

Today She Went for One of Those Last Rides With Me


Tough Decision and Not Sure How She'll Handle It

 


Looking at some old Orion Beer posters brought on a flood of memories.


So, I didn't say a word and just took pictures.


Those were the good old days.  Hah !


Keeping everything inside myself, I just went around taking photos.


We've been through a lot togetherThis just didn't seem like the place to break the news.


So, I took her out in the country where I'm more comfortable.


A little river, running over the rocks, made me relax.

 Pretending I was doing something important, I still didn't say anything about it.


Maybe It's Best Not to Tell Her

 

If you found a younger, sexier model, what would you do ?

Would you take her for one last ride, and not say anything about it ?


I Will Always Love Her

 

And, I hope she finds someone else, who will treat her better than I did.

See, I'm taking her for one more ride.

The Canon G12, that took all the photos above, is being traded-in.

They have a new Canon PowerShot G1 X that I think I'll love, even more !
