I hope everyone had a great Father's Day weekend...I know I did. When Mom and I started this blog, we said we would be sure to post pictures and some of the happenings around the sprawling metropolis of Madisonville. A couple of weeks ago, a posted a few and promised there would be more to follow, so without further ado...
Okay, so this technically isn't in Madisonville, but the Leona General Store is one of the best steakhouses around! If you are ever in this neck of the woods, I suggest trying it out. I went with my dad, my sister and my stepmom's family on Saturday night, and we chowed down on ribeyes, mashed potatoes and buttery rolls.
My dad says he hates these cows...Supposedly they crawl through his fence and hang out in the yard all day.
This is my cousin, Tucker. He's already got the makins of a cowboy!
As usual, Mom's cows are lounging around in our swimming hole.
They were all eyeballing me when I pulled up in my car...probably waiting for me to turn my back so they could lick it. I swear every time I clean my car and leave it outside for more than a couple hours, I will come back to find cow slobber all over it. Can't say I have that problem in Houston...
Another cousin, Ms. Katherine Marie Newton. Her daddy decided to give her the same middle name as my great-grandma, Helen Tinkle (a.k.a. Mawie). Mom and I have plenty of great stories and memories of that feisty, old woman!
Snapped this riding around the place in the Mule (meaning an ATV, not a stubborn, 4-legged creature with long ears)
Found this ole' guy relaxing on the porch.
Mom wanted me to show everyone the buzzard eggs she found. Have you ever seen a baby buzzard? They are actually kind of cute...all white and fuzzy. Too bad they grow up to be such ugly critters.
Pretty, little Black Eyed Susans...our pastures are covered with these
Say hello to Waffles and Earl the Girl. My Uncle Bill will take in any animal. These were old show pigs that didn't make their weight classes (I know it's hard to imagine when you look at them now), but now they are just pets. These pictures really don't do them justice...They're ENORMOUS.
Last, but not least, I would like to introduce the adorable Twix John Deer. There was a bit of a dispute about his name, so they decided to just smush the two together. His mama was killed, and my Uncle Bill found this little guy laying in the ditch. For such a little guy, he sure can put away some food. I fed him three bottles in one sitting yesterday!
That's all I have for now! Until next time...
