Repost for a special person~

(This is for you ..... you are one in a million!!!) I think this is the song...

 

A follow-up to a previous post I did way back when...A post for my brother Ricky back on 9/14/2010 with many thanks for everything he does for me & our entire family. May he, be around for many; many years~

..

One day not long ago, I wrote a family book for my only surviving brother … For Ricky

 

This is a follow up to some of the unfinished stories-photos for such a purpose. Ricky’s gusto & energy for life is truly contagious; infective & admirable. After my vehicle accident; one thing it’s apparent; my brother means much more now than he did prior…

 

 

One of Ricky’s nemeses is a cool pair of boots & a great pair of spurs right along a well made to fit saddle. His love affair with boots; spurs and saddles goes way back to his teen years when he first learned how to ride. He would spend his entire allowance locating one or the other; saving his hard earn summer pay; to purchase one or two which lead to many trips all over the area locating his next acquisition. All in our family are aware how much he likes a cool pair of boots as much as a unique pair of spurs or a nicely made saddle. To such extent, under the present circumstance; I located a custom boot maker in Fort Worth whom I decided to engage for a couple of made to fit pair of boots. One pair, was to be made for Ricky the other pair for my brother in-law Scot who I consider-admire-love as much as Ricky. When the boots were completed I asked my brother to drive me out to Fort Worth without stating the purpose; he obliged! We had a grand time traveling; just the two of us…We spent about four days in the city; visited some family; checked out some museums even had time to visit big D for a day doing the JFK museum. When he saw the new pair of boots; In his own unique true style, Ricky couldn’t wait to try on the new pair; he decided to wear ‘em around cow town (As most people refer to the city of Fort Worth) looking at his brand new pair just like a kid with a brand new toy! While we drove around; I couldn’t resist to take some photos which in turn lead to a follow up of my previous story on Ricky Tha_man born to be a Texan~

 

Enjoy the post friends…
