This weekend Blair and I went to Tara's ranch in Richland Springs, Texas. I think the population there is 350. As this was Blair's first trip outside of Houston I was determined to give him a taste of Americana. Unfortunately his only experience of Americana was the movie Deliverance, so understandably he was slightly nervous about getting out of the car.
First stop was Pardners in Buchanan. We pulled up into the parking lot and he decided he wasn't going to get out of the car. Too bad, because the people watching in the bar was priceless. I tried to get photos but most of them turned up too dark but, I have four words for you:Rhinestone Boot Disco Ball! Also, he got hasseled in the car when some cops banged on the window and asked him where he was from. When he said "Houston" they said, "You don't sound like you're from Houston boy". Serves him right, should have gone into the bar with me!
Once at the ranch it was much of the usual:drinking, smoking and fire arms. Oh, and Queso, yumm. It was a really relaxing and fun weekend and everyone got along just swell. Hopefully we'll get to go back soon, maybe Memorial day.
