Being at the stockyards made me realize where I come from. I was born and raised in Texas. Proud of it too. When you go to the stockyards, you truly see how the ranchers live in Texas, and how they keep up with their cattle. You get the wiff of the cattle smell, carnival rides, concession food, music, dancing, and of course a good time. I can just about gurantee that you will not walk out of the stockyards without something that you bought. Whether it be a shirt, a new fire pit, or even a mop.
I went to the stockyards today with my family, and we have been to the one here in Ft. Worth. We are from Houston, so we have been to the Houston rodeo and livestock show before, and I ahve to say, the one here is no match to the one in Houston. Houston's show is much bigger, with concerts by different artists, and it is a bunch of fun. But tonight, me and my siblings met a person my parents were talking about after they sat with him at the Marine Birthday Ball. We met Buck Taylor. Buck has played in the show Gunsmoke, and many other western movies. It was really cool getting to meet a person that was in that show, and some other movies. I can honestly say that Buck is my first celebrity to meet.
It was really cool because he signed a bunch of posters for us, and his wife and him exchanged contact information with my dad, and we are going to go to the Houston show when they go and maybe catch some dinner with them. His wife's name is Goldie, and she is a really nice lady. Both of them are really nice people, and I am really happy that we have had the chance to get to know them.
Knowing that we might have the chance to grab some dinner with Buck and Goldie Taylor is really fascinating. Sitting at a table eating dinner with a talented actor and artist. Isn't that cool? I can't wait until we can go see them at the Houston show!
