Wow; still can't believe it is real.  Had a superb week, and a great time traveling to and from with minimal problems.  Accompanying me was Ginny Miller, showman extraordinaire; and Skyler Anderson, good friend and fellow Highland breeder. Between the 3 of us, we just about cleaned house, (ah, if only money were involved) and as those of you who know me know, I don't clean house (any house, literal or figurative) very often. Ginny got Champion Senior Showman on her first visit to the National Western, Skyler ended up with Grand Champion Bull and Reserve Grand Champion Female, and of course, we took Grand Champion Female, 3 Division Championships, 2 Reserve Division Championships, and one blue ribbon in a big class.  It just didn't end.  As Evelyn suspected, we had a hard time fitting the heads in the truck for the trip home.
