The Leaning Cow

Look what came for my birthday. Just look. Isn’t it wonderful? Yes, it is. I will handwash this so gently. I’d wear it today to Indianapolis, but I’m not going to be getting out of the car – other than to order a hamburger and do the rest stop thing. Cow tipping shirt’s are this [...]
