Rodeo Practice Session

After target practice today, we pulled over to the Everett Bowman Rodeo Grounds where a practice session was underway for an upcoming rodeo event. There are a couple of cowboys in the photo that are doing some calf roping practice. Click on the image to enlarge.

Thanksgiving Dinner

Happy Thanksgiving! Our dinner consisted of turkey breast, mashed taters, cinnamon carrots, green beans and Verna’s Thanksgiving Dressing all topped with her killer turkey gravy. We’re all stuffed now. Not shown are the dinner rolls and cranberry jelly. 🙂 Click on the image to enlarge.

Petroglyphs Along US 60

Last weekend, Bob posted a panorama of a segment of US 60 between Harcuvar and Hope, AZ. He mentioned in that post that directly behind the camera line of sight there was a rock with native American petroglyphs on it. This is the petroglyph rock. Click on the image to enlarge.

Art in the Dentist’s Office

We had our initial encounter with our new dentist in Arizona today. I observed several nice southwestern art pieces in the office and waiting area. I especially liked this rendition of a Native American sculpture that was hanging in the waiting area. Click on the image to enlarge.

The Time Sink Returns

football.gifPre-season NFL Football returns to the tube tonight. We watched the Seattle Seahawks play against the San Diego Chargers in San Diego at 8PM eastern (5PM Arizona time) on ESPN. Verna and I tuned in an hour early for the pre-game show. There will also be televised games tomorrow evening, Saturday and Monday.

Before we terminated our California DirecTV service, we had the full-on NFL Sunday Ticket watch-anything package. We did not opt for it in Arizona since our viewing habits changed due to time at the shooting range and other weekend activities. Plus, it was expen$ive.

We’re huge football junkies, so watching the games is a time sink that takes away from blogging. It will continue intermittently right up through Superbowl Sunday in February.
