COMMENTS, CORN AND OTHER STUFF.

We went to San Marcos.
Scott and Alisa ate Toby's corn. (Scott was a cook at the R-12 Cafe when I worked there in 1985....he's a news journalist for KVUE TV now.)
Dano ate Toby's corn.
Toby grilled some wonderful fish.
The San Marcos river is VERY full.

We spent the night at Dan and Bobbie's in Kyle....the toads and fireflies were enjoyable...we don't have any in Pecos.
We spent the night at Toby's....that was rather rowdy.
We spent the night at Kay and Jim's in Austin....Mitch and Val came over and Kay's mom...she made an excellent dinner.
We visited Larry Lohn and then went into San Marcos and met his wife carol and two other teachers from gene's 'ol prison in Kyle for lunch.
They all had fun telling prison stories.
Our dogs were very interested in Larry's peacock, turkey, 5 geese, chickens and guinea hens....their five barking dogs...our dogs didn't like.

We ran into a traffic jam in Dripping Springs on our way there. It took an hour to go 2 miles!
It was because a church was on fire and hwy. 290 was closed (for 3 hours)....and I had to pee so bad!!!!
There were 75 firefighters there. The church was built in 1875....a terrible shame to lose it.

The dogs ran up a huge vet bill.
Gene and I did likewise at the dentist.
Gene has to go back in Dec. for alot more stuff....2 crowns, a tooth pulled and 1 cavity.
That's what he gets for not going to the dentist in two and a half years.

Exciting yes?

If they keep this up...it'll be bad for our t-shirt business at Needleworks.
Today I started to learn how to cut discs for the monogram machine...ya make it on the computer and then insert the CD into the monogram machine and it sews the design or name....ugh.

I was really sorry not to be able to go to Carlsbad to the monthly auction this past weekend. Here's some of the big dollar stuff they sold:
A locomotive bell- $3,000.
A fenton lamp $3,500.
An 11" Ramey knife $3,000.
A govt. of Texas treasury note dated 1838 and signed by Sam Houston- $750.
The coke signs and other advertisement signs did very well....lots of collectors out there i guess.
A 1934 Coke sign fetched $3,200.!!
There were also alot of good deals....some nice things went for small amounts.
I have a secret in regards to this auction....but it has to do with Christmas....so I can't tell right now.
Can you say "phone bid?"
