My Happy Trails Scorecard

Posted by blissandvinegar on June 13, 2007

  • Days at Ranch:  7
  • Family Members Attending:  22
  • Horseback Rides:  3  (Jon and the girls rode 6.)
  • Number of Times Wrangler was Forced to Push my Butt to get me on the Saddle:  0!  (I was positively graceful.)
  • Best Horses’s Name:  “Wingnut, the Widow Maker”
  • Family Kickball Games:  1
  • Combo Massage-Facials:  1  (Oh yeah, it’s a rough life at the dude ranch.)
  • Books Read:  4
  • Jigsaw Puzzles Completed:  3
  • New York Times Crosswords Completed:  1
  • Naps Taken:  3
  • Full Breakfasts:  6
  • Strips of Bacon:  23!
  • Pounds Gained:  5.5
  • Fun Had:  Immeasurable

We keep talking about doing something different, like taking a family cruise or meeting at someone’s house.  But I’ll bet we end up back at the ranch, despite the fact that there is not a Starbuck’s and thus no ready fix for my dad’s quad iced venti cafe americano addiction. 

If anyone wants to open a local coffee shop, Bandera is the place to do it.  My family alone for a week could keep you in business.

    That’s really so nice – great times and wonderful memories for everyone! Don’t worry about no Starbucks – you wouldn’t appreciate this time so much without a little sacrifice. :)
