The only thing I ever wanted to do that had anything to do with the Wild West was to perform in the musicals Annie Get Your Gun or Oklahoma, does that count?

My Irish heroine attended the show and met the hero, an authentic cowboy. I loved writing about the show. Lots of fun things you can write about.

Only in my dreams would I be talented enough to do anything in a Wild West show, but the closest I could imagine is that with practice I might be able to shoot. Though how I'd have the nerve to shoot at my beloved husband's head (or how he'd dare let me!!) I'm not sure!Connie R.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12038621934457678475noreply@blogger.com
