Iwant to give a huge shout out to Rockdale Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Lucita Rodriguez and her banquet committee team for pulling off a very glitzy affair on Thursday night at the SLR Training Center.
Wearing a gorgeous chiffon evening gown in the palest pink, she ran the show like she’s been doing this for years and pulled it off w ithout a hitch.
Kudos to you, Lucita! Looking forward to next year’s event.
—kwc— I think I once told you about my friends Gay and Derek who moved to Rockdale from Houston after they saw a real estate listing that I posted on my social media. Derek wrote sports for us right before we hired Ken Ansell.
One of the reasons they liked the house so much was because it had a big storage building in the backyard which they have since turned into a “casita” for Derek’s mother, the gorgeous Elizabeth. She is still quite the looker and was a Hawaiian Tropic model, Miss World Service Life 300 which is a NASCAR race. She rode in the pace car and presented the winner’s trophy.
They held a combination housewarming party and a birthday party for Elizabeth on Saturday evening, and everyone had a good time. Derek and Gay made a big shrimp boil, and everyone went silent as we were eating, which is saying a lot because everyone at the party were huge talkers.
My friend Cak brought some delicious guacamole, and Elizabeth made the best German cucumber salad I’ve ever tasted. She promises to give me the recipe for my food column.
Happy birthday, Elizabeth, and enjoy your new house! —kwc— An elementary school class visits a police station for a field trip. The officer points to the 10 Mot Wanted list and says, “These are the most wanted fugitives in the country.”
A little boy looks confused and says, “He’s the MOST wanted in the USA?!”
The officer says, “Yes.” The little boy says, “Then why didn’t you keep him when you took his picture?” —kwc— A collector of rare books ran into an old friend who told him he had just thrown away an old Bible that he found in a dusty, old box. He happened to mention that Guten-somebody-or-other had printed it.
“Not Gutenberg?” gasped the collector.
“Yes, that was it!” “Do you know what you have done? You’ve thrown away one of the first books ever printed. A copy recently sold at auction for half a million dollars!”
“Oh, I don’t think this book would have been worth anywhere close to that,” replied his friend. “It was scribbled all over in the margins by some guy named Martin Luther.” —kwc— Adam was spending the day naming all the creatures in the garden when he realized he was alone as a human being.
Then came the very last creature and he named it “frog”.
He spoke to the frog in his loneliness and asked it if it had any ideas as to how he could not be so lonely.
To Adam’s surprise, the frog opened it’s mouth and replied, “Rib-It!”, then the rest was history.
