I loved westerns and cowboys when I was a kid. Must admit...Roy was my favorite until I became a teen-ager. And then I fell in love with Little Joe Cartwright. Still love to watch Bonanza reruns.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1091482938936227290.post-76457291621400810892012-02-10T09:35:28.995-06:002012-02-10T09:35:28.995-06:00I still love cowboy movies.

I just can't imagine putting your life into the hands of an engine this way. <br />This was one of my true adventures in life. lolA Lady's Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11973102350411443282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1091482938936227290.post-10094810284995112772012-02-10T08:32:32.469-06:002012-02-10T08:32:32.469-06:00Sky King was one of the very first TV shows I ever...Sky King was one of the very first TV shows I ever saw! I love it, the adventure, the romance, the good clean fun. And we never missed Gunsmoke. Ever.<br /><br />As to the role models of the kids today, I think they have few. Very few. Most of the sports stars aren't good role models, although there are some wonderful exceptions out there, and the same goes for the musical idols. Oh, I know there have always been the bad influences out there, but media today puts them right in your face constantly.<br /><br />To put it bluntly, I am glad I grew up in Iowa in the 50's!<br /><br />Great post.....brought back so many memories. Have a great weekend. It's going to be cold down here in Florida this weekend.....lows in the 30's!Margehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15398347951744910818noreply@blogger.com
