The little boots on my mantle were Jeff's first pair of cowboy boots when he was 5 years old! He didn't go anywhere without them. Jeff's stepmom kept them all these years and just gave them to us last week. Can't wait to put a kid of our own in them! The books are three of my favorites. "The Art of the Boot" has the history and origins of the cowboy boot; what amazing works of art! "Lone Star Living" has a variety of Texas homes and ranches with great decorating ideas. The bottom book "Lampasas County Texas" has the history and origins of all the people from Lampasas. Jeff has some relatives in there too.
Isn't this old trunk neat? Jeff's grandmother gave it to us last week because she know how much I love antiques and family heirlooms. It belonged to her great grandmother, Jeff's great, great grandmother who traveled with the trunk moving from Mississippi to Lampasas, Texas to live with her Aunt and Uncle after her parents died... and guess who was on the train with her, Wild Bill Hickok himself!
