Guns and Shweet Dolls


Had a blast the past 2 days. Headed to the gun show in Mesquite for some "us" time just me and the hunny. The gun show as a blast. Big enough to have plenty to see but not to big as to be over crowed. The AC was pumping and so were the guns and rifles. After searching for about 3 hours and most likely handling every gun in the joint we found me a 22 Pistol. While I was there I ran into this gal who makes the most AWESOME cowgirl attire. The jewlery was beautiful from stones to metals. The belts were covered in bling and have to say wish i was Kassy's size to wear some of the tees she had!

You can see some of her creations on her online store but she assures me there will be more added all the time. Split Skirts & Side Saddles is the place to visit if you are ever close to Terrell Texas. Her address is 404 W Moore Ave Terrell Texas. Now her website can be found here....

My understanding is she heads out to alot of the Rodeo Shows around here so if you are at a Rodeo look for her booth.


Today we took my new pistol and headed to the gun range. WOW! I've been shooting with the 22 rifle but I do SO LOVE the 22 pistol. Just for fun I shot off ONE round from Marty's 9m HHigh Point and let's just say I will leave the BIG GUNS to him. I also learned that If you don't hold the gun up high enough the casing can rickashade off the wall and hit you in the neck. Hot shell casings do STICK to skin and they do burn! Told Marty I know have my "battle scar".

Had a blast... Although I do wonder... If I am deaf and I wear ear plugs in the range and can still "hear" the blasts...what do hearing people hear with thier ear plugs in.

Dang it was loud or maybe it was the feelings from the guns. BUT MAN IT IS SURE FUN and a great way to get rid of the stress from the week!
And don't ya know shooting round of ammo off gave me inspiration for several new dolls!
So off to work on some patterns and dolls
Gotta to post the bingo words for Rusty Tin Roof
Have a Shweet Day!

Went to the Gun Range Today for the 1st Time

OH Man I have a new hobby! Marty took me to the gun range today to practice with the rifle. I had a blast and did pretty good too if I say so myself.
The rifle was a rugar 10/22 rifle. This was my very first target at 25 yards

IT was a blast! We also used a highpoint 9mm rifle but that had kind of a kick to it and will take getting used to.
Gotta go take pictures of Kassy in her prom dress so that will be posted for all to see soon.
