Wild West Wednesday

Howdy, You All! Wild West Wednesdays has been something I have posted off and on since Fall 2009. Back in October after I got home and the pictures were downloaded that I had quickly snapped while in Wichita's Cowtown, I was surprised that so many pictures were taken. I didn't put a great deal of time into staging the pics...I just snapped away. Easy and fast. Today I want to repost some of pics that I really liked how they turned out.

When returning to Cowtown again in milder temperatures when I can stroll about at a slower pace, I hope to have pics of the Railroad Station, a few more houses, interiors of the stores/shops and then there's the farm that I want to share.

Thanx for coming along. Pretend it's 90 degrees outside and you're sweating...I'm ready to sit in the shade, sip a cool beverage and rest my hat. If only I had a horse.

If you had lived in the 1880s wild west what do you suppose your name would have been? I think my name would have been Jane, Victoria or Anna. Buffalo Betty? Nah.

Til next time, God bless and that's all folks.

Wild West Wednesday and Ruffin' It

Beloved, It's Wednesday and I'm about to wrap my wild west series up. Pretty sure that next week I will post a few more pictures and call it quits on Old Town Cowtown until I can return to Wichita to take some pics of the areas that I didn't capture with my camera.

Old Cowtown Museum has a couple of very rustic log cabins. These pics are of one with an outside garden to view. With it being almost 90 degrees we cut our visit short, but what we did see was great.

Thank you for taking the time to tour the wild west with me. Have a hoot hollering Wednesday.

God Bless,

The Garden!




That's how the West was won...

Wild West Wednesday and Banking

Hi there! It's Wednesday and here at HomeHaven we're kicking up our heels and revisiting the 1880's Wild West by spending some time at Wichita's Old Cowtown Museum. Today, we're going to check out the BANK to decide if we should continue 'socking away' our money or stashing it here.

This particular Bank had her own CAT. Shouldn't all good Banks have their own cat to enjoy? At first I thought the cat was a stuffed toy, but then this one began to move and stretch. Not a typical prop.

So glad you're visiting and hope you'll say howdy by leaving a comment.

With Banking business completed for the day...it's back to entering the wild west world out there. Thanks for spending some time with me! Have a great day and may your February be warm.

You're precious and have great value. You're worth more than gold and the Cat's MEOW!

God Bless you today,

~Deanna~

Wild West Wednesdays and Smiles

Welcome Friend to Wild West Wednesdays! Smile...you're on candid camera! Aren't we the lucky ones to have such small cameras that can do so many functions for us???

As I visited Old Cowtown Museum in Wichita, I'm reminded that cameras have their place in History as Wichita worked at having some culture and be a part of how fast things were changing on the old frontier. These large cameras were found in the Photography Studio and in another one of their smaller exhibits.

My pictures here are not the best, but hope you 'get the picture' of how things were. Grins, or should I say, "CHEESE!"

Some of my favorite places in all of Kansas are the front porch swing that once hung on my Parent's old bungalow porch in Marion, my old rock house in the Flinthills, the Kansas Prairie with the gentle rolling hills with wind blowing through my hair and good 'ole Cowtown in Wichita that has no cars moving about on the streets. I could spend hours there. Sometimes do in my memory. What a blissful place to rest.

God loves you and remember that nobody else on this planet has a smile as pleasant as yours!!!

Til next time...gettie up little pony and watch out for the buffalo muffins.

Wild West Wednesdays and Print Shoppe

Making HISTORY today with Wild West Wednesdays and printing. Hello Beloved! Old Cowtown Museum in Wichita, Kansas has a well equipped Printing Shoppe.

Now what civilized community wouldn't have a Print Shoppe to keep others informed about what's going on in the community as well as what's going on elsewhere in the world?

The Midwest may have been primitive in alot of areas, but not with the media.

It was fun to visit this particular place. When I was 17 years old and worked part time at JC Penney, one of my responsiblities was to run a manual printing press. The smell of ink and working alone in a basement location put a mark in my memory bank. I can recall the satisfaction I had when I made a sign that turned out well. I learned how to read upside down and backwards!!!

Hope you enjoy the pics of this week's featured place of business.

May you have a wonderful day!

God Bless,
