Yee-haw

It felt like round-up time last evening.  I was taking a break on the back porch and I see 2 horses running so fast their tails were straight out.  Through the neighbor's yard up on the road and then across the field in back of my house.  I knew something was wrong because the whole subdivision is fenced in except the road going out to the main road.  Sure enough a Sheriff came, then two, then three, and finally an Animal Enforcement Officer with a pickup and big horse trailer.  They all put on a great show because the horses did not want to go home.  They blocked the entrance with an SUV to keep the horses in but the horses still did not want to be caught.  The owner and his family came to round these critters up.  Still no deal.  The food they offered wasn't good enough for them, I guess!  The Animal officer used the truck and trailer to try to round them up.  Still no good.  After about 2 hours and just before dark, they caught the horses and loaded them into the trailer.

 I'm sorry that I didn't take any pictures of the police, the truck & trailer, and the owner riding around the field trying to get them cornered.

Here's my story of another interesting thing.  Bill and I decided that we should upgrade our DirecTV.  We hadn't done so in 15 or so years.  We get a new HD dish (I'm in the 21st Century now), new receivers, and connection to the internet so I can watch TV on my iPad.  They had finished installing everything by noon on Thursday.  Around 4 the TV went to a blue screen and said no signal.  Bummer.  Called and talked to a tech and we couldn't get it to work.  So I was set up with an appointment for Saturday.  I argued with them and said no, I want it done Friday.  Needless to say, they are suppose to be here between 12 and 4 today.  I'm not a tv person but try not to want to watch tv when you don't have one!

I've been making bucket hats for the little kids.  Here are a couple of pictures.

I did not pick out these fabrics but look at the results:

Here are two of the four hats that I'm making for the kids for July 4th.  All the hats will have the same lining but different outside fabric.  The hats are reversible.

That's it from a glorious sunny day in Texas.  No rain, yet!
