Sisters on the Fly Wild West Weekend in West, TX

Liz and I joined a great bunch of women called the Sisters on the Fly at the KOA in West, TX! They share adventures all over the USA and "Have more fun than anyone!" We arrived for our first adventure late Friday evening, just in time for the evening meal. We were sooo underdressed in our t-shirts, shorts and tennies! Everyone was decked out in huge cowboy hats, boots and large petticoats! I wish we had taken pictures.

This is the cabin Liz and I stayed in.
Notice the snakeskin in the foreground!
This is a great example of 'Glamping'  or Glamorous Camping.

West is known for it's bakery, Little Czech Bakery
specializing in kolaches!
This is what was left of my apricot and cream cheese
kolache by the time I remembered to take a picture!
YUM!


We went on a little field trip with Marsha, our new 'sister.'
This is cactus. Her alias is Cactus Callie.

Cactus close-up.

We went to a vintage clothing store called Style Station in West.
They specialize in women's clothes and cowboy boots.


...and bloomers!
This is what most 'sisters' wear under their petticoat.





Here are a few of the trailers the sisters live in while on the fly.

Notice the kiddie pool in the middle. The women would
all sit around and put their feet in to ward off the hot flashes.





Aren't they just darling?!?



We all gathered Saturday night for a dinner of nachos, hotdogs and
homemade ice cream. Oh! And shots of something and cigars. hee hee




When it got dark we were handed what looked like a square of
folded tissue paper and told to write a message.




Then we coaxed them open and lit the bottom!!!
"Is this legal???!!!"


There they went! So beautiful! Watch the video below!

Well, SOTF is a national group, don't know if they (we) have been in Texas Monthly. There is a book and were written up in Oprah Magazine this month.
