Well after a night on the deck that included some mighty fine food and erntertainment, not to mention a rousing game of Flip Cup, which broke about 3:30 am; Jane and I managed to make it over to Gruene for a while this afternoon to take in some music at Gruene Hall and of course some cold beer and Fritos. The music was good and the beer was cold and as you can see; a good time was had by all.
Gruene Hall is one of the oldest dance halls in Texas and is a state treasure. Lotta singers got their start here before making it to the big time and there is always a band playing for the door and tips hoping for that big break.. the band today was good, a little eclectic for my taste as I tend to like a fiddle band with a pedal steel but they put on a good show. well worth the cost of admission which was free.
If yall ever make it down to the Hill Country, Gruene hall is a must on any itenerary. You will see and meet people from all over the world who have ventured to Gruene to sample a taste of Texas... I invite yall to do the same.
Well we made it and is good to see family and friends again. It was a small crowd as people will be coming in thu the weekend. But as the sayin goes "este poco, este poco" (we may be small, but we're crazy)or somethin like that. There is one serious rule on the deck: NEVER BE THE FIRST TO FALL! as shown below:
No explanation needed!
The food was good, the beer was cold and a very good time was had by all. I even managed to score a few brownie points, with the help of my aunt, by arranging a surprise birthday party for Jane on the deck. Instead of a cake, she had a cupcake arrangement made up and was the hit of the night. They were so good, I had to make a cupcake run today. And, not letting an opportunity to jab spurs, a family member noted that the times have really changed when Eddie is going after cupcakes instead of beer. But, as I told him, I was fetchin' them for Momma Sot and Jane... Nuff said!
So I think I'm gonna post this and head over to the house and soak my backside in water and my inside with some cold Lone Star. More to come as the week progresses.
Well yall, it's that time of year again when we SOTS begin to congregate at our World Headquarters on the Guadalupe River. We'll be coming from all over Texas and some other states. It's gonna be a good time enjoyed by all. I won't be givin out any particulars out but thu the week I'll be posting some choice tidbits and some general information about what the doins are. I'll tell yall about the teams and what they did for meals and entertainment and might show some of us on the golf course, course i wont be playin much this year as I'm still gettin over some shoulder surgery, but it won't hurt me to do some putting on the 19th hole if yall get my drift.
Gotta big week ahead so yall check in ever now and then and see how we do it up down in Texas!
