The above happens to be a picture of my husband's back when we were at his parent's farm for Thanksgiving. The very same husband that just took me to the National Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas (his parents have season tickets for all ten days)...So he wasn't jumping up and down and doing cartwheels when he saw a "girlie" lavender test strip painted on the wall in the room where his parents are coming to stay after Christmas. I told him I was trying to make the room fun just like the rodeo..."what?" Paneling everything in leather and cowhide isn't always the best option in life.
The scene of lots of cowboys in their hats walking down the strip is quite the sight.
