ONLY IN APACHE JUNCTION












While we were getting ready to feed the other day, I looked out on the street.... imagine my surprise to see a giant Longhorn Steer walking down the street... with someone riding it. Since I hadn't drank any margaritas yet I knew it was true.! So my friend Diane and I jumped in the Xena (what we call our little 4 x 4 feed cart) and drove up to be sure we weren't nuts! There we came in contact with Pancho (no not the dog) but Pancho the 5 year old steer. The owner was just taking him out for a cruise. He was very well mannered and quite handsome... the steer not the cowboy. Actually I don't know if any of us even looked at the cowboy!





Anyway it was a fun weekend. Our friend Brian was here and we had a great cookout in town on Saturday night. A good showing of the boarders came and Brian sang. The kids were playing poker in the saloon. It was a good thing! Makes us realize how lucky we are to have such a wonderful place to call home.





Brian and Janis own Montan. The 2 year old we rescued from Canada when he was 4 months with his mom Tessa. He is now saddle broke and I am teaching Brian to ride on Mark so he can soon be riding his boy.
