Howlin, dogs, ducks, and sacredness -- and this is Salado!

Friends,

   (1) This weekend had a mixture of howling, fun, and sacredness,

    It began Friday night at Angelic Herbs featuring Rockin Rick.  In the middle of good food and fine drinks came outstanding music.  It was a howlin good evening on Main Street.  The trees shook, the telephone poles swayed, and the wind danced under a full moon on Friday the 13th.

    Thank you CJ for making a warm summer evening enjoyable.  You are special!

  (2) Then came Saturday and a park full of hound dogs, pets, and proud owners.  Have you heard that some pets and owners look alike?   Well, Saturday was absolute proof.

       Congratulations to Duck Dynasty and Captain Casey floats.  THEY WON!  Who ever saw a chihuahua in a bikini or a dog dressed like someone on Duck Dynasty?  If you missed this event, you missed the event of  the year -- maybe century.  This was crazy fun.

      The military dog exhibition was outstanding.

      Then came the longest duck race in history.  Over 300 ducks left the starting line and an hour later was still looking for the finish line.  Do not know what happened to my 6.  Just disappeared.

     You did not have to have a dog or a duck to have a good time.  It was enough to watch everyone else's dog and duck!

    (3) Sunday evening worship in St Joseph's Episcopal Church was special.  Father Bob gave a thought-provoking sermon.  Afterwards, the congregation followed Bishop Harrison, and Father Bob outside to bless the bell and the newly renovated Parish Hall.  As the Bishop blessed the bell and building, she also blessed the crowd with water.  What a great spirit this congregation has as they laughed, prayed, and enjoyed visiting with each other.

       Delicious food and fellowship was enjoyed by all in the new parish hall.

       A great weekend for a great village.

       Thank you.

       Do not forget TxDoT Community meeting 26 Jun, 6:30! Thomas Arnold Elementary School.

                                      Very Respectfully,

                                       Skip
