Yipppeeeee! You all will never guess what your ole wrangler went and done! Last weekend, I went an got hitched! Yep. Swore Id never do THAT again, but the cutest little filly you ever saw plum stole my heart and we went and done it! In case you cant tell, I am one happy buckaroo!
The Boss at the newspaper said hed put a pitcher of Miss Judy in the paper for you all to see, (but try and have one of just her). Well, I cant say as I blame him there, so he may have a pitcher of her somewhere in this paper for you to see. Shes a school marm and will be retirin in May after twenty nine years in the Tyler/Kilgore area. (If you see us out somewhere, dont tell her how worthless I am, as I would like to keep her!)
Well, I no sooner headed back to Houston from Tyler than I had to drive to San Antonio Monday night. Well, you guessed it, the ice storm hit while I was gettin there and the storm froze the whole darn city. I-10 from San Antone to Fort Stockton was closed till Wednesday. Boy, did I miss my new bride back in Tyler, where she was froze in, too. She stayed cause she had to finish teaching those kids this semester.
Theres a lot goin on you might want to note, such as March 2nd bein Texas Independence Day, the day Texas declared her independence from Mexico. Well be up in good ole Luckenbach performing and getting re-hitched for some of my pards who couldnt come to the weddin. If you dont have nothing to do come on up! Good music, great folks and lotsa fun all day Saturday in Luckenbach, Texas!
Please, dont forget March 6th. Thats a very special day in our Texas history and very important to your wrangler, as I am a relative of Davy Crockett. March 6th, 1836, the day that the fortress Alamo fell. My eyes well up and my heart swells every March 6th, as I remember the sacrifice of those brave souls who gave us the gift of their lives so that we could have the great State of Texas. God Bless the defenders of the Alamo!
Then, later in the month, there is a great day of free family fun down in Wharton, called Shanghai Days. Thats only about an hour south of here on highway 59. Starts at about ten thirty and its a whole day of cowboy singin, storytellin, poetry, ropin, gunfights, fiddlin contests, food, crafts and so much more youll just have to see it for yourself. Trust your pard and dont miss this one, rain or shine!
I wish I had more space to talk to you all. Maybe we could have another little show in Crosby some evening where we could have us a good time and enjoy some stories and stuff! I may try and see about that. Hows that sound to you all? Let me know.
Well, I see Charlie left the darn gate open again (they must not teach that in Georgia)!
You all have a good time this weekend and come up to Luckenbach, ifn you get a chance, and, till we meet again, Happy Trails, Lloyd
