Brenda, announced her plans to retire. She has been with our agency for over 20 years and has decided to move to Texas to be close to her daughter and grandchildren. Brenda is a very elegant woman. She dresses well, coordinates her jewelry to what she is wearing and is quite a perfectionist. She did not like being teased about moving to Texas to find a cowboy. In fact several things about moving to Texas concerned her, including the enthusiasms for college football. She is not a sports fan and she thought this might hinder her being accepted. Those of us planning her retirement party thought that it would be fun to have a theme around longhorn stuff.
One of my co-workers and I were placed in charge of the decorations for the party. We thought that it would be easy to incorporate longhorn stuff into the look of the room. We soon found that we would be able to have anything we wanted with longhorn stuff on it. The items with longhorn stuff ranges from disposable cups, plates and napkins to vehicles! The first decision we needed to make was if we wanted to go with an elegant theme that incorporated a few longhorn things, or if we wanted to go over board with the longhorn stuff. We decided that since it is the tradition to have two retirement parties for a person, one that was an open house for clients, workers from other departments and colleagues, and one that was usually held at a local bar, we could do both elegant and over board. The second party at the local bar is usually people getting together after the first party to have a few drinks and tell stories about the person retiring. We contacted the bar owner and asked if we could bring in decorations for the backroom that we had reserved. He did not mind, as long as we removed them at the end of the evening.
My co-worker and I went to work. We ordered the longhorn stuff for the second party from a college supplier. We went with the disposable plates and napkins. We found a large glass mug with the longhorn logo etched into it, so we bought that for Brenda’s drinks to be served in. We had posters, coasters and placemats with longhorn stuff on them. We found several of the longhorn skulls as well as mounts of the longhorns which we could use to place around the room.
For the agency party we did use one of the skulls to place on the table by the guestbook. We had a cactus by it as well as a bouquet of yellow roses. Brenda thought that incorporating things from her new adventure was nice.
When she saw the room for the second party she started laughing. We had her put on a t-shirt with the longhorn logo and she was drinking from her etched mug. We took many pictures of her surrounded by her longhorn stuff.

Party Stuff
... box and it was marked party stuff. In here were remnants of graduation parties, barbeque parties and an anniversary party that we had done for my parents. I was embarrassed that I had saved all of these inexpensive decorations for over 25 years. I wanted my husband to help me throw it out. He said that I might as well put the decorations on the garage sale. If no one bought the party stuff I could throw it away. I had over a hundred party favors between the two boxes. I placed them in bags of 10 and charged a quarter for them. I had bags of assorted paper plates with matching glasses. I put the Halloween stuff in one area and the holiday party decorations in another. By the time I was done going through the boxes I had two long tables...
Cats Stuff
... I have several hand blown glass cats. One ceramic cat is very special to me because my mother painted it in a ceramics class that she was taking. That particular statue is of a mother cat carrying a baby kitten in her mouth. My mother did a very nice job of painting the eyes. I also have statues that are carved out of wood as well Longhorn Stuff as stone. When my husband first brought home the curio cabinet I thought that I would have room to expand my collection through the coming years, but I was surprised that the cats stuff that I already have filled it completely.

Penguin Stuff
... penguin stuff are virtually endless. It usually starts at an attraction or maybe a winter- time fair; this penchant that people have for penguin stuff.

Pet Stuff
... of bottles to display from the distributor, and now it was his best selling product.

Dog Stuff
... first I thought there was a new section of doll clothing that was placed in this section. Upon closer examination I realized that the clothes were for dogs. Along with the clothes there were beds, toys, designer dishes and other dog stuff. This is a store that does not ordinarily have a pet section. I asked one of the sales clerks when this section of dog stuff had been added. She stated that it was part of their holiday campaign nation wide. It seems that people were requesting more items that they could purchase, not only for their Longhorn Stuff dog, but for the dogs of their friends. I jokingly asked if this did not snub cat owners, but I was told that the cat merchandize was on the opposite side of the display I was looking at. The dog stuff included very elaborate outfits for the holidays. Velvet dresses, satin off the shoulder cocktail dresses, and the more traditional knit sweaters. There were also collars that were studded with sequins and stones....

Baby Boy Names

Ceramic Tile
I have always found it pretty funny how excited people get over new materials. Every time there's something new to build out of, write on, draw with, wear, or Longhorn Stuff do anything else with, people act as if it has revolutionized everything in their life. Don't get me wrong – there are some new materials that really do make a difference. Synthetic fabrics, plastics, and fiberglass are just a few of the materials that have changed things a lot in the last hundred years. Still, in many matters – especially ones of home decoration – you often can't beat the old stuff. That is why I am such a fan of ceramic tile. Most people use this material very little, if at all.
