Centennial Weekend in Munday


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.
