My sister sent me this picture, showing one of her orphaned lambs taking a breakfast break from a cow.  My sister did not go to A&M, but her two kids are.  Bob V, add this picture to your animal photo collection, along with the Oreo cows.

Have a safe Memorial Day!

A Message from the President
The Bluebonnet Cruise was a great success.  The weather, flowers and food all did their part in making the event a joy for all that attended.  Thanks to Louise and Cleo for their efforts of putting the trip together.  We conducted the April CTOH Monthly meeting among the Bluebonnets in the fields close to Bristol, Texas.

At our May meeting, I would like to get input from members regarding:

1) Telephone Contact List,

2) Cruises,

3) CTOH Annual Christmas Party, Dec 3, location confirmation needs to be done ASAP.

If you cannot attend the May meeting and would like to have input regarding club business, please feel free to call me (713 859 9391) or send me an email.

May you have fair winds and following seas (or at least keep her between the ditches)

Legacy of an old Cowboy...

A tough old cowboy once counseled his grandson that if he wanted to live a long life, the secret was to sprinkle a pinch of gunpowder on his oatmeal
every morning. The grandson did this religiously and lived to the age of 103.

When he died, he left 14 children, 28 grandchildren, 35 great-grandchildren, 5 great-great-grandchildren and,.......a fifteen-foot hole where the crematorium used to be.
