This past weekend we all went to my hometown to take part in the 100 year birthday of Munday Texas. My mom, Karen Longan, was the writer/director of the centennial musical and she and my dad served as the chairmen of the centennial committee. It was a hectic weekend including all kinds of activities including a brisket feed by the Munday Fire Department (my dad is the Fire Chief), a dedication, a show, and a street dance among other things...
The play was great fun and our entire family had roles including Kybear. Here is a picture if us in costume. The guy and little boy on the far left are Moonie and Towns, his son. Moonie came in from Austin to meet the family. I am afraid he saw our loonie side. Towns had a big time and even got a real fireman hat and rode a pony and took a ride in a firetruck.
Even my grandmother and great aunt were in the play. The muscial told the story of a divided town in the early 1900's that was literally moved together-by a team of horses. The play was historical but my mother added a love story, music, poetry and depth by mixing actual historic characters with fictious characters with names from our family( Tommie Mae, Billy Barlow, Little Will, Sonnie Boy, etc). There was a stage coach, horses, bar fights, a tornado, and an a UFO sighting ( just kidding... nothing ever happens on mars) It was agreat success but Dr. Phil stiffed us all. Darn you Phil McGraw, you will go to a very, very dark cave where none of your friends are.
Ky was 8 weeks on Sunday and weighs about 11.5 pounds now. Here are some pictures of him in the adorable outfit given by Aunt K-K and Aunt Andy.
