Sometimes George Strait knows just the thing to say….

There wouldn’t be no Alamo
No Cowboys in the Super Bowl
No “Lonesome Dove”, No “Yellow Rose”
If it wasn’t for Texas.

I wouldn’t be a Willie fan
Nobody would swim the Rio Grand
I wouldn’t be an American
If it wasn’t for Texas.

Fort Worth would never cross my mind
There’d be no Austin city limit sign
No Lone Star of any kind,
If it wasn’t for Texas.

I’d never gone to Tennessee
to sing my songs and chase my dreams,
Only heaven knows just where I’d be
If it wasn’t for Texas.

Fort Worth would never cross my mind
There’d be no Austin City limit sign
No Lone Star of any kind
If it wasn’t for Texas.

It made me the man I am,
Thank G-d for my old stomping ground.
I wouldn’t be standing right here right now
If it wasn’t for Texas,
If it wasn’t for Texas,
If it wasn’t for Texas.

Emil and I are taking a long weekend to enjoy the first few opening games of the Brazos Valley Bombers! We hope to make good use of our season tickets this year!

So, y’all have a good weekend and we’ll “see” you on Monday.

Tonight’s game of darts was SO MUCH FUN!

Thug #1: Yo, we’re in a serious predicament!
Thug #2: Nigga, where did your foolish ass learn that shit?
Thus #1: Law & Order.

Thank you. Each of you has been an especially good friend, lately. Even when the gesture has been tiny, it’s been meaningful and has put a smile on my face.

Jordan, Dennis, Lauren, Angela W, Cady, Patty, Laine, Jenn, Melissa, JJ, Victoria, Maegan, Leanne, Michael S, Rob, Tom S, Dawn, Elizabeth, Daniela, Cindy, Butch
Emil, Emil, Emil, Emil, Emil, Emil and Sosta, Purrrrrl, & Turtleor, too!

Thank you, all.

Michael Stribling‘s reality TV debut and watch party was amazing. After some technical difficulties on my end , I got some great shots of Michael and the reactions of some of his friends and family. The party was packed, filling two rooms at Ozona and spilling over to the patio at times.

Michael introduced me to his newly-engaged friend and his business manager and sold them on my services for her wedding and Michael’s (before and after) design shoots for his website and portfolio work. And, what a small world: turns out the business manager is married to one of Emil’s cousins….and they need family portraits, too and want to see my new watercolors. eeeeee!

So, it was not only a fun night, it was also a quite beneficial one for As You Wish! I’ll have images up as soon as I can get the java applet working, again.

at the wedding on Saturday, a guest grabbed my camera and was wiggling the flash. It happened so fast and I didn’t realize she’d done any harm. (No, she didn’t appear drunk; And, like I said, she was FAST.) So, now, the flash won’t seat correctly and works inconsistently. Dennis and I needed to trade some images, so he brought me his backup camera body and I was back to normal operations. I’m sad that I missed the crowd’s reactions to Michaels introduction segment on the show, but at least I got to SEE the intro segment. (After all, I missed most of the rest of the show. TTfT: Thank Technology for TiVo!)

Tonight, we attended the exhibition practice and fan-involved Fan Fest for the
Brazos Valley Bombers.

We had a great time and can’t wait to use our season tickets to see all the games of
Bryan’s local team!!!

Last year, we shared a game with Charles & Elain and had a fabulous time (in spite of rained out fireworks). This year, we hope to make our attendance a regular double date with family/friends. So, if you are interested in attending, please let us know.
