More at George Ranch

So, here we are where I left off with Ella and the longhorn.  Unfortunately, we missed the cowboy demonstrations again.  The rodeo's coming again in March though so we'll hopefully see some exciting things there.  But, back to the Ranch and the house tours.

Paka and Sophie on the "bus" between houses. 

 The girl and boy beds in the prairie home.  The boy bed is on the right.  Obviously, the Doyle family would not have needed the partition :)

 We got a whole lesson on women's clothing and undergarments.

 Neal, the blacksmith, gave us a 45 minute lesson on exactly what blacksmiths do and how it's done.

He made an "S" hook in the process.  He was very entertaining and it was the highlight of the day.

 Again.

 And again.

I wonder if anyone answered back....

That's it.  If you're ever in Houston and have the opportunity, George Ranch is worth a visit.

So much to see, do and learn and beautiful too.

Tomorrow, a post from afar.
