On to some important happenins. I want to wish a happy anniversary to my pards Lindy and Amanda Murf of Crosby. I dont know how he landed such a pretty gal, but he did and he must be behaving himself.
Thanks to Granny Gladys Adcox for her letter and support. Also, Laura Kidder of Crosby for sharin her story of a fine Crosby boy, Cody Bennett, who was killed by a drunk driver this Memorial Day.
I dont even want to get started about drinkin and drivin cause I think that they should put them in jail for the rest of their natural lives and then ten years after they die. Ill shut up though.
The lovely and charmin Miss Judy will be movin to the Rancho Pequito this week per-manently. Were building, so she will have a new home and not have to sleep with the horses anymore. I know theyll miss her, but thats the breaks!
Ill be on a short break with my family next week and then flying to Amarillo to teach and perform at the Cal Farley Boxs Ranch along with my friends, Red Steagall, R.W. Hampton, Elmer Kelton, Bob Campbell, Trey Allen and a whole passel of other talented folks,
After we return, I may be getting to work with the Baytown Little Theater (they mis-placed the Big Theater) on Annie Get Your Gun. Its a sto-ry about womens rights and how to train up a man! I will have a very important part. Thats right, I will be collecting tickets and cleanin up after the show! So stay tuned for more info.
To quote my ol pard, Buf-falo Bob, Hey kids, what time is it? Thats right, its Crosby Fair and Rodeo time, folks. One of the best Fair and Rodeos in three counties is held in Juno every year so dont you dare miss it! June 12th, 13th, 14, every night. No Shuttle is needed here, so you can park pretty close.
I got to go shut the gate cause Charlie is feelin better and left er open again. Stay cool.
Just a Ridin, Lloyd
