Tuesday Treasures
Television was limited in my dad's house. We were never allowed to watch shows like Bewitched or I Dream of Jeannie. Witches and Genie's were considered the work of the devil. But robbing banks and shooting people seemed to be okay. Every Saturday night, we would load up the car and drive to my aunt and uncle's house to watch Gunsmoke and Have Gun Will Travel. I'm not complaining. I enjoyed them almost as much as my dad. It just seemed odd that comedy was out and killing was in. But then like most men, he loved westerns.
Last April, DC took me to the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum in Oklahoma City. It was an awesome experience. Below are a few examples of the western treasures inside. My header photo is from the museum.

After Gunsmoke was over we watched Have Gun Will Travel. These are Paladin's guns.
On Saturday mornings, we watched The Roy Rogers Show.
And who could forget all those John Wayne westerns.

Every family has it's rules - I was never allowed to watch MASH - but I was encouraged to watch the news, which was far bleaker!

ReplyDeleteBetty, Happy Trails to you. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDelete...Betty, my head is still spinning with your Dad's reasoning, oh well. Roy Rogers and Dale Evans, what a beautiful pair! I haven't seen a western in years. Thanks for sharing, Merry Christmas and stop back when you can.

ReplyDeleteI actually did not see Roy Rogers, not much if at all. But surely I seen the show at sometime or other. But oh, I loved the Westerns...any and all. I was not particular.
