Wardsweb Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 I want to do this for Rodney and the gang for their hospitality and welcoming this total stranger. Also for making Sunday morning something special for me. Made more so, by Rodney not knowing he was doing so. He was just being Rodney. It could have been a totally devastating morning hearing my mother had just passed away, but Rodney made it somewhat therapeutic for me, by being out in nature, showing his property and telling stories, in his soft spoken voice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators dtel's wife Posted June 19, 2015 Author Moderators Share Posted June 19, 2015 I can't possibly express how glad dtel and I were to see you and Travis truly enjoy the experience. I was also raised in the country and there is no better feeling than to stand surrounded by such beauty and surrounded by people that truly care. Rodney is truly a man among men! His kindness and generosity are something you just don't see every day. I'm so glad you made the trip Luther. It was great seeing you again. I'm glad we were all there for you. Again, my deepest condolences on the loss of your mother. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This Rodney cat sounds like he’s a real cool dude. If by Travis, you’re referring to dwilawyer--I KNOW he’s a cool dude. Hello Travis if you’re reading this. I’m happy that all who attended seem to have had a really enjoyable time.Steve 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seadog Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 I will offer up for our next get together to bring and cook a big heaping bunch of sausage from Smitty's in Lockhart, TX http://www.smittysmarket.com/index.html I just need to work out the logistics, because they won't all fit in my car. It doesn't get much better than sausage from Lockhart - the Mecca of Texas BBQ! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators dtel's wife Posted June 20, 2015 Author Moderators Share Posted June 20, 2015 Of course food is an important part of any get together. Kevin Harmon's friend Lonny treated us to some home cooked jambalaya on Thursday night. Friday evening dwilawyer boiled up four sacks of crawfish that were brought in from Lafayette by Kevin's brother, Brandon and Saturday, Lonny played chef and fixed us some of the best tasting crawfish and shrimp etouffee we've ever eaten. Dwilawyer and Lonny both worked hard preparing us meals each night and of course, both did a wonderful job. Thank you to all that helped in preparing our meals. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Travis i’ll try; but, I’m on the lam right now. i VERY rarely open my mail…in fact i don’t even look at it. Tonight something told me to look at a stack that my brother brought in. A notice saying that i failed to report to jury duty. Guess i’d better contact them “immediately” as indicated. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators dtel Posted June 26, 2015 Moderators Share Posted June 26, 2015 We found out last time we were there Roy did not get a glass, so we asked and this kind was his favorite. It has the pie logo and something else just for him. Still need to get ahold of Trey and see what kind he would like. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
