Boot Scootin'...




I met Uncle Jim for the first time last week. I had heard stories about the man--but the real deal exceeded all of my expectations. Jim and his girlfriend Kathy arrived in Austin ready to check out the best country bars in the city.

When we picked Jim and Kathy up I was amazed at the garb...they were both dressed perfectly....pinstripe western pants, rhinestones, embroidered western shirts and all the accessories to match. We hit up the Dallas Night Club Friday night and had our first dancing lesson--Jim and Kathy dance together 2-3 times per week and are pros...Todd and I wouldn't make even our mother's proud as we stepped on each other and were totally off beat.

Saturday we stopped by the infamous Broken Spoke--it is a gem of a dance hall! We had some good country cooking and then headed up to Graham Central Station for more dancing. Todd and I made some improvements--but it was still a pretty sad sight. Todd and I have decided we are going to follow Jim and Kathy's footsteps and go out dancing at least once a month--next time you see us don't be surprised if you see rhinestones and boots.

I take it back. After another look at the picture, I realize it's the entire outfit we need to discuss. McKenzie agrees.
