Cute Cowgirl (and her siblings)

Saturday evening saw another of those bitter-sweet farewells that are so common in my life. Usually it’s me going away somewhere, but this time we were saying goodbye to a family relocating to the States – Arizona to be exact. And the kids took to the horsie theme with gusto and joy, especially the middle little one… And I was the one called on over and over again to charge around the building, being told to giddy up, with one of them (or one of their friends) clutching steadfastly to my neck …

Can’t find a horse, but a swing will do

Now where’s my hat so I can get this hair out of my eyes?

Ah’m a jus sittin on this here porch a-waitin for my friends t’arrive…

“Wherever there is injustice, you will find us. Wherever there is suffering, we’ll be there! Wherever liberty is threatened! You will find … The Three Amigos!”

Yo, cowboy!

Big sister. Gun(wo)man for hire.

So, clearly the hat didn’t work!

Jus’ resting

“You dirt-eating piece of slime! You scum-sucking pig! You son of a motherless goat!”

“Arriba! Ha Ha Ha Ha!”

And, what with my friends moving to Arizona, I felt I had to leave them with this song from the movie The Three Amigos (which I have obviously quoted throughout this post).
