Street Crazy time in Ft. Worth

[jhawk1000]

My daughter and my son-in-law decided that I would spend a couple of weeks with them for Thanksgiving. They knew that with my wife just passing that a holiday alone was not to be. They drove to pick me and my three dogs up and brought me to their home in Plano, Texas. Yesterday, they took me to the longhorn cattle drive in Ft. Worth. I swear I have never seen a place quite like this and I am a world traveler. Young and older women in cut-off denim shorts much too tight with cowboy boots that varied from normal boots to over-the-knee boots. Before the cattle drive, the street was full of low-rider cars with the epitome being an older Chevrolet with every inch of the hydraulic hopping car being decorated with Dallas Cowboy stuff. The cattle drive was really nice and I got some shots of the cowboys herding them and of the longhorns.
After the drive was over, a fake gunfight was done in the railroad tunnel and it was overdone but got your attention when the guns fired. This was the first time I was out without Linda and I am now trying to create new memories.
The last photo is of my daughter and son-in-law.

Everything you described Mel sounds very, well, Texas. Glad you’re with family.

Wow, that looks really interesting/fun, Mel. I've never seen longhorn cattle in real life (just in pictures). They look pretty impressive but I don't think I'd want to get too close to them. It's good to see you are embracing life and spending quality time with your family. Have a happy Thanksgiving when it comes.

Some cool dudes there Mel and what crazy cattle.
We've got longhorn cattle over here but their horns are tiny compared with the Texas whoppers!
I'm glad your gorgeous daughter has thought of you and is looking after you.

My son and daughter in law lived in Fort Worth for several years. It's an interesting place.

Looks like you had fun.

Take care.

You should have called! Ft Worth is a fun town, much more fun than our neighbor to the East IMHO. Nice images and glad you enjoyed it.

I totally agree but to this ols Kansan, the traffic on the highways was more than I would want to do. We ended up using the toll express way to get some traffic separation.
