Today we visited Gish's Old west Museum which displays a 40 year collection of authentic relics of the Old West. Dedicated to old time cowboys, trail drivers, silent movie cowboys, and lawmen from 1870-1920. As you can see Mr. Gish got trapped by a listener, Bob.

Linda got held up.

Not to be outdone, so did I. This was an amazing place with so many items you couldn't take it all in. There was no charge to get in and Mr. Gish was happy to explain any item you asked about. He also repairs saddles. He has branding irons, chaps, saddles, brands used to mark leather goods with their maker, old silent movie posters, pistols, rifles, holsters, etc. etc. etc.

This is Linda making sure that peace pipe gets passed safely from the white man to the Indian -- or maybe from the Indian to the white man -- or maybe she is just going to take it away from both of them.

We also visited a museum about the history of Fredericksburg. The first settlers came from Germany. A Frenchman on the coast of Texas sold them a bunch of land around this area - but he didn't own it. They settled on it anyway and their descendents are still here.

To finish the day off Linda and I got our hair cut. I wasn't on the ball enough to get a picture of Linda in the chair but she got me.

I have figured out that my camera has the wrong date in it. It changed the date at noon instead of midnight. I'll try to get it fixed.
