Yesterday, we visited the William S. Hart Museum in Newhall, CA!o

o
Deacon wanted to make sure he would fit in with the Western theme, insisting he wear a hat, sheriff's badge, moustache and gun belt to the museum.

Our guide, Ron, gives us the grand tour.
o
Derek and the kids admired this original painting...
o
...while I admired the fact that someone could keep this very old bathroom so clean!
o
The kids pause to pay their respects at the dog graveyard.
o
Then... a trip to the gift shop!
o
Afterward we went to that very western-themed restaurant, Mimi's Cafe, for some grub.

I like the way Deacon's strutting around the gift shop...looks like he's not messin' around.
Right, he's like a cross between Pancho Villa and Tom Selleck.
Tom Selleck always frightened me.
As clearly illustrated by the picture sequence, 'twas him what drew first; then the tables was turned.
"I was just walking down the street, and I heard a voice behind me say 'Reach for it, mister.' I spun around and there I was, face-to-face with a six-year-old kid. Well, I just threw my guns down and walked away..."
"Well...back in '56, my folks and I were part of this long wagon train...movin' West..."
