Oh, The Humanity! Sight of the Former Big Tex,  Icon of the Texas State Fair. He left us 2-days prior to this photo!

 The next few posts will share a whirlwind-weekend with wonderful friends! A much needed mini-break, deep in the heart of the South.

You may remember the informal fiddle selections we enjoyed at our house last Christmas played for us all by

the son of my college friends.  The lovely young lady in the photo above is Roberta Rast, a Champion Fiddler, member of the celtic-rock band, The Kildares, and the young man's fiddle teacher. The band plays regularly at their State Fair. So this is a Celebrity Sighting, as well. It was fun to see the set and meet her.
