Now here’s a shocker. I went to H.E.B. this morning to order Mr. B.’s birthday cake for Sunday. Chocolate cake. Check. Chocolate icing. Check. Last year we did Harry Potter, the year before it was Spiderman, and before that Bob the Builder. So, this year, how about a plastic cowboy and horse or two on top? No cowboys. No cowboys? No cowboys. This is the oldest and largest grocery chain in Texas, found only in Texas (and Mexico), for that matter, and it has no cowboys for a kid’s birthday cake? No cowboys. Sheesh.
UPDATE: Cowboy figures with lassos also are in short supply in local toy stores. Found plenty with six-guns, but then I ran across a shelf of Papo’s handpainted knights and decided to go for two more. Mr. B. already has several and enjoys them. All mine were one color. I’m envious of these.

I guess you will have to “rent” a horse and saddle so he can ride around the Rancho for his birthday. Joe & Eva
Too risky. Might stampede all the white-tailed deer in the neighborhood. Believe I will just go to a toy store and buy my own plastic cowboys and horses and put them on the cake myself.
