Last week Mr. B and I were in Texas and Oklahoma to meet his new first cousins.
Thanks to DNA we were able to find cousins from both of his biological parents.
This trip was to meet his dad's side of the family and they generously shared
stories, photos and laughter with us! Some of his cousins flew in or drove to Forth Worth to spend the day with us and it was very much appreciated!
Last Tuesday after a full day of visiting, we stepped outside of our hotel to see the
"The Herd" - these are Texas Longhorns herded by authentically dressed cowboys called Drovers.
These guys take their job calmly and seriously as just the day before they had trouble with one of the cattle when it wouldn't cross over a metal plate covering a hole in the street.
The cowboys worked with him over and over again and eventually moved the crowd back
as he was getting feisty.
Tuesday they tried him again and he hesitated for a moment before moving forward.
"If you're ridin' ahead of
the herd,
take a look back every now and then to make
sure it's still there."
sure it's still there."
