For the past year my Dad has been battling cancer having many ups and downs but for the past couple of weeks he’s been doing so much better. Thankfully.

For months he sat around watching sports and old westerns not doing much else.  But for the past couple of weeks, he found his entertainment in something he hasn’t done for years…

Conversations with my Mom:

Me:  What’s Dad doing?

Mom: Playing cowboys and Indians?

Me: Huh?

This is a weekly conversation.

Me:  What’s Dad doing?

Mom:  Playing cowboys and Indians. Walking around in his cowboy hat and boots with his gun holster on.

So yesterday I went to my parents house for a visit and when I got home this was my conversation with Mark.

Mark:  What was your Dad doing?

Me:  Playing cowboys and Indians.

Mark:  Huh?

Me:  It’s the medication.

Broncho Cowboy George

And he took me on a tour of his gun cleaning room.

That use to be my bedroom.

My childhood bedroom.

Which is now the library.

Of guns.

I took several pictures but I think this is one of my favorites.  Don’t ask me what powered up Magnum PI kind of guns they are but they look antique.  And the thing in the middle kind of looks like an old perfume bottle.

And I didn’t touch any of them.

Because I grew up knowing NOT to touch them.

So I don’t.

And back in the day when you’re told NOT to touch the guns, you better not even look at the guns.  That’s why I think that thingy in the middle is a perfume bottle.

Dad:  Did I see you look at my guns?

Me:  No sir.  Maybe it was my barbie.

Have a good day all … I’m now wondering what Old John Wayne turned my brothers room into?

He probably has a horse in there.

This wolf had been terrorizing campers near Salmon, Idaho for months.

An Idaho hunter shot this wolf just outside her home near Salmon, Idaho. While waiting for the pack to make their rounds and come near their home again, they looked in the woods below them and there was this wolf. He weighed 127 lbs. He was a collared wolf and by the time they checked it in (1.5 hours later), Fish & Game already knew about the wolf and said they had been hunting for him as this wolf pack had been terrorizing campers lately. They had a couple of guys “treed” in the cab of their pickup all night at a campground a few days earlier. He is now skinned and hanging at their place.

Check out our wolf hunts.
