They were very nice about it, as their ma (and wives)insisted on it at home and they were used to it.<BR/><BR/>Shirley, I have two beautiful sunbonnets, made by a Western writer friend of mine. I don't look as good in them as I do in my hats, so I prefer to wear those. I bought the one you see me in at the bottom of my website in Santa Fe, NM. I believe it's my favorite. This summer, I ran into a guy wearing the same hat, in black, at the Western Writers of America convention.<BR/><BR/>Mike, I'm so glad you enjoyed the post. I don't plan to quit writing.<BR/><BR/>Janette, stay inside! That's the only remedy you have for the desert heat, unfortunately.
