Cowboy Medal Winners Hang Out In Front Yard

 December 21, 2024

   A certain grandson asked his grandpa if he wanted a cowboy medal and, well, what cowboy doesn't want one, so young Fenton made me one. 

Cowboy Medal Winners Hang

Out In Front Yard

Here's the back story

    We were both working on art projects in my studio today, when out of the blue, Fenton asked me if I wanted a Cowboy Medal. When I said I certainly did, he asked for a photo of cowboys from a book and a pair of scissors.

   He quickly found a cowboy photo from a book I provided him and then he drew the cowboy in the photo and then asked for scissors and scotch tape. 

   Here we are at the presentation ceremony in the front yard. It was a total honor but it did take this old cowboy five minutes to get up off my knee.
