Welcome back, yall. Hope the week has been a good un for ya. Well, its summer time, and the heat is here. Remember not that long ago when it was cold and rainy and you wished for the warm weather? Uh Huh. The coastal plains are a real joy in the summer.
I was drivin in to work on Monday and past the Three Musketeers walkin on the side of the road. Im referin to the three beautiful ladies who walk most mornings along the highway 90 feeder near 2100. They always have a smile, and big sticks! Howdy, Ladies.
For those of you still urging me to run against Gene The WEENIE Green for Congress, the answer is still no. Im afraid I would win and then I couldnt call those scoundrels to task each week in Horsefeathers! However, each of you have the opportunity to tell him how you feel at the voting booth, so VOTE!
The shindig at Lyin Larrys with my ol pard, Doug Supernaw, was a great time with a lot of smooooth dancin by Larry and Donna. Great job, Larry, do it again!
Id appreciate you all rememberin our friends Mike and Val of Lonestar Catfish and Ribs, who were forced to shut the doors of their delicious establishment. I know they will hit the ground runnin, cause you cant keep a good man (or woman) down for very long! We love you guys!
Im thinkin of bringin A Cowboy True to the Crosby area in the near future, if you all would be interested. It will be different, yet the same, and just as good. The entertainers will knock your socks off! Cost will be $8.00 to $10.00 per ticket. So stay tuned!
I will be leaving this weekend for the Academy of Western Artists Awards Show in Ft. Worth with Miss Judy. Well get to see some of my ol pards like Curly Musgrave, Belinda Gail, Red Steagall, R.W Hampton and a herd of others. Ill tell them you all said howdy. I hope to bring back some good pictures and share them with you. Ill try to get the Head Wrangler at the newspaper will let me run them for you.
The house buildin is goin slow, but sure at the Rancho Pequito. Hope to be in soon. When we do, Ill have a house warmin and youre all invited! (Hope Miss Judy approves)! The horses will be glad to meet some new folks, too.
I am plannin to have a Cowboy Kids Poetry Contest for all the kids in 4th, 5th and 6th grades in the area. That means the Crosby, Baytown, Galena Park and Channelview school districts can enter. The winners will receive some neat prizes and awards, as well as recognition for the schools and classes who participate. All you teachers give us an email this summer and get a head start for your kids. Miss Judy just retired after 29 years teaching 3rd and 5th grades and she can answer all your questions. Our email is lloydshelby@ev1.net . You can also contact us through the website, www.paintedwordstudios.com.
Gladys Adcox, Granny, suggested I not feed my horses too much or Id get even more bow-legged. Sorry, Granny, too late!
Howdy, to all my pards whose names I didnt mention. Gotta go shut gate, cause I saw Gene The WEENIE Green sneakin in.
Till later,
Just a Ridin,
Lloyd
