Rodeo Night With Martina McBride
Tonight was another great night at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo!
I started out with the live stock show and all of the other fun things. Oh, my God! Did I enjoy the FOOD. Everything was to die for. Deep fried Oreos, steak burgers, foot-long sausage sandwiches, giant cinnamon rolls with lots of icing. But don’t take my word for it, check out the photos for yourself.

I went to the Rodeo to see Martina McBride. She was great and the music was terrific! She really sang her heart out. She sang all of her best songs and the crowd loved it. Of course, so did I. Martina loves Houston and she looks forward to her show here every year.
I know why she loves Houston. I feel it every time I go out. So many 
people here have been so kind to me. I’m thankful to be in a great city like Houston. It made me feel so good when people I never met came up to be today and spoke kind words to me. You will see them in my photos. People like that are heroes to me!

neurofibromatosis cafe 
Rodeo people are some of the finest people I have ever encountered. Honest, down-to-earth, friendly and real.
You know, Lou, it just makes my heart feel great when I run into people like I did today! That last couple, that came up to us while we were eating, and all of the others were so nice to me. I know that is the way it should be, but it just does something to me. I feel like they should get a reward or something. It brings tears to my eyes, I’m so happy. I don’t know why that is.
When I was talking to the last couple, I felt really GREAT! I see in the photos they were truly interested and wanted to listen. When the guys stopped and talked to me while I was in line getting food and you were going to get your link, that made me feel good as well. One other was passing by. He passed in front of me and said, “Excuse me, sir.” and as he passed, he touched me on the shoulder. That was not expected. I think that was letting me know that everything was ok.
Is this dumb thinking on my part. Does it make sense to you. Can you help me express that in the blog? I want it to be a happy up-lifting blog. And to express that each time I go out it gets better and I feel better each time.
There are a lot of great people in the world, Reggie. I guess you just need to help them realize how great they are and how they make you feel. However, I DID feel a little left out when everybody went to talk with you and left me holding the camera.
At times it’s so easy for me if I express when it’s on my mind rather then wait a few days after. Lou it’s always hard for me. I know I have to do it and I always happy when I do. If I have not done the things you take me out to do note of these great things would be happing to me. Meeting so many people that I have met going to there places. It gives both sides me and the other person a chance to connect. What a great a great thing we have going here.
Well Lou someone must take the photo, who do you want to use the camera? The person who wants to talk to me. I don’t think that will be such a smart idea. At least you get to see it unfold.
Always the bridesmaid…
Oh well,
hello say…
Reggie I am glad you had a great time you have the cruel people in this world then on the other hand you have the people that really truely care and that buddy you dont find them every day
I believe kumoiku is from Belgium.
I believe my avatar just disappearred
strange
Kumoiku, Glad you to see you here. Welcome please tell us about yourself. I’m Reggie you can read all about me here.
Brian I just got home from Church. I need coffee and I will come back.
good Morning Reggie and all!
I love to hear the great comments here. So much love and so much happiness. What a way to start the day! To remember the kindness of all our brothers and sisters in the world and how much they touch our lives in ways that they aren’t really aware of! We must all remember that we are here to bring love and spred happiness thru each other. It’s so important! Hearing all these great stories made be feel really happy this morning.
Kimoku are you from Belgium? Je mapelle Meredyth Je parl a petit pe France – But I can’t spell very well in French!
Meredyth, ma maisson et blu.
realmere1. true that. My nephew taught me that. What more can I say. We just never know how we are helping some one just by being who we are. That goes for all of us. For all of you, never believe you are not helping someone. You are and just don’t know you are.
I will need your help Meredyth when I go to France this summer. I need to learn something so they will know I’m not a complete ideate.
Meredyth, i love it when you speak French!
Reggie you are a great person whether you know it or not,.
Tim, don’t tell him stuff like that. His ego is big enough as it is. Right now, it’s barely tolerable. Any more and it’ll be unlivable!!!
Bon Jour! Ce pa a problem etudier le France! I can speak French a medium amount. Enough to help you order food, shop and say hello! It’s not a problem. Ca ma pleasure! It’s my pleasure.
Oh Tish! Speak French! Adams Family there if ya didn’t know.
France is so wonderful. You will love the people, Sights and the food is incredible. I’m happy to help in anyway!
oh ya and Lou! Your house is Blue! Wooo
I’m back. Went to visit a friend. Let me see if I can catch up. Thank you Tim. And Lou you are all the blame. You are the one who created this ego of mine you say. Meredyth I want to make sure I know how to order coffee.
Ugly American French – “Bring me a damn coffee!”
#23 Ok, it’s actually more like a tan – yellow stucco kind of color but I didn’t know how to say that in French.
Realmere1, I wonder what Lou will do if you speak French around him? Just keep you arms around your back.
Ok Yellow Stucco kind of house. HMMMM Mutard or Mustard in English!
Ordering coffee is sample! Or simple
a kafee avec cream. or kafee cream si vous plea
a coffee with cream or coffee cream please.
Tres Bien!
Any thing else? A lot of words are the same. Sandwich is just Saandweech
that’s it!
How do you say, “where are the women?”
Lou did you forget to take your meds?
Ah ok…………
ou (sounds like ooooo) sont (pronounced soa) les (lu) fame?
(faum)
What kind of women I don’t want to know and if it gets more specific I may have to ask what the word is. 🙂
I supose you at least want beautiful in there right? So add
beau fame
One with a heart beat would be nice. And one that knows the word YES.
oh sorry! Belle Femmes. NOT FAME. I can’t spell frech at all
Hi Everybody
Hi Shelly. Hope you are having a great Sunday! I’m new to this blog. I’m happy to get to know you all.
Reggie one with a good heart! That’s what we want
you are right. that is all that really matters.
Went to Galveston, rode my 4wheeler, some ugly fat woman came on to my husband. Thought about kicking her butt, but once again, he did not realize she was coming on so just let it go.
Hi Patricia,
I’m sure you don’t have to worry about anything. Hope you enjoyed the day anyway. Did you see the photos from the rodeo?
I still had fun, I trust my husband, he did not even relize she was coming on to him, not the first time, LOL, I have not check out the photos yet but will later. Hope yall had fun.
oops I just realized I said Galveston, I ment to say Huntsville, Galveston does not have a park that I know of, I guess I been saying Galveston so much, it just keeps coming out.
Welcome back, Patricia. Thought you were lost in action!
welcome back Patricia I wish I had a 4 wheeler I used to have one but sold it and now I regret it they are a lot of fun
Hi Brian,
I don’t think I heard from you today. I thought about you yesterday, while at the rodeo. I went to look at the DODGE trucks and man do they look nice. I took a picture by one. I call it my dream truck. It’s in some of the photos I took.
Reggie you do have a big heart but Lou must have one like the Grinch who stole Christmas.
It’s ridiculous how mean and ugly I am. Once i had a den of Girl Scouts bake 12 dozen Thin Mints, Smores and others because they ran out of GS cookies before they got to my house. Of course, then I wrote them a bad check. Yes, I’m pure evil.
Evie to the core. You are like the evil like that Mr. Heart On 9 to 5. . 😉
No I am not loss in action, felt like I was for awhile, maybe things can get back to normal(?) we still got some things to do, like cleaning out the apartment, we took this weekend off and drove 4wheelers we needed to get away and get our mind off of things. I relize it is just going to take time. We are both back to work now.
Where is Emily, I bet the little Morty as Lou says is keeping her busy, what did she name her baby anyway?
I agree Patricia I wonder the same thing I wonder what she named it anyway
I’m back. had things to do this morning. Times really goes fast now. The eather is really bad here. cold and rainy.
Let’s hold our breath just a day and then we will have 78-80 for the rest of the week Reggie!
Good news for us all. Monday’s are tuff anyway.
Hey there Everybody I got my coffee pot allmost emptyed out A word of warning to the newbys of the room Lou is full of bull corn
Lou are you full of bull corn? Well that would have to be surgically removed!
Meredyth, don’t listen to a word Shelley says. She gets pretty delusional when she runs low on her meds. Personally, I’m voting in favor of the lobotomy.
You wish Lou I think you need the meds more than me
ha! we’re all completely nuts and happy then!
good
I had Starbucks this morning Shelley sometimes yall really crack me up on this blog
I’m good!
Well look like I have been missing out. Been busy on Houston Highlights. I’m low on coffee. My coffee light came on. I’m just now getting a break to get a third cup.
I think it all started when we all met Lou. He is enough to make all of us crazy
Patricia How are you? Tell me how hard it was to get up this morning? I know no one enjoyed that.
Reggie I got up at 4:40am! I had a really early appt. Boy did I need coffee. It felt like 3:30am! It hurt. I’m looking forward to sleeping in tomorrow to a indulgent 6:30am! Oh well. I guess we’ll get used to it soon.
Getting up this morning sucked big time, plus I was sore from riding my 4 wheeler, but at least my budies at work had coffee waiting for me when I got to work! It is almost 5, and I am NOT cooking tonight, don’t know what we are having, it is just me and my husband, but I am NOT cooking or doing dishes. Just 17 min. woo hoo.
Cool Brian drink a cup of Starbucks for me Im out
sure Shelley no problem
Reggie needs to harrass Lou 24 / 7
Reggie doesn’t even have to try to bother me, it just comes natural. Shelley seems to be following in Reggie’s footprints.
Lou dear I have learned from the very best on harrassing you
Lou I had a busy day. So don’t think I have been loafing around all day. I will give you work details later.
yeah, yeah…quit downloading porn and get to work!!!
You want me to sue you for slander? You better watch it young man.
I have everything written down what I have been working on today. I started out working in the back yard before the weather got bad.
Lou dear Reggie doesnt do porno Hes a nice guy
I dont have to try to harrass Lou its a gift besides Emily told me to keep you in line
Speaking of which, where the hell are you, Emily?111
Morty is keeping Emily busy Lou
Thank you Shelley.
Why is Lou so concerned about downloading of porn?!! 😀 I think it is because it is Lou that downloads Porn!!! 😛
oops, I was not signed in, so my little pic went away.
Me too. I just went to fix mine. Now, back to the porn.
Just kidding!!!
Where’s that coward, Reggie Bibbs at?
Sorry to every body, but Lou. I see that comment be made after I left. I was out early last night. I’m up and ready to strike back.
Reggie, “The Cobra!”
Lou why do you download that junk when you have a group of pretty ladies to talk to
Poor Lou! I’m going to have to protect you brother!
Good morning crew! How is everyone today? I feel summer coming and I can’t wait until the it’s bit warmer, but not too warm. Love that little window without humidity!
Friday my daughter turns 12.She’s getting her first cell phone which I had not given her until now. she’s going to flip out. She’s wanted one since she was 10 but I thought it was too early. I’m still not sure but what the heck.
I’m feeling great today. I know this is going to be a great week for everyone.
Sending love and light to you all!
Meredyth, I feel a warmth throughout my body everytime you post a message. I’m either in love or my bladder problem is back.
heee heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
It make me so glad that you feel happy! We’ve got to get more of that going on! I love being part of this blog family. I feel good everytime I read all the posts. Reggie you’ve got something going on here!
Lou hope your bladder problem rights itself soon! 🙂
Drink Cranberry juice. Ha!
My daughter bought her first first phone when she was 16, she used all her money on that thing, she loves to talk on the phone. We would let her use on of ours when she would go out so we could call or she could call us, but once she got her job, and she got her phone and she paid dearly because she could not get a contract without us singning for her, and she just had to do it on her own so she ended up getting paying out the ass with the pre payed. She should of listen to us. Oh well she is learning that Momma and Daddy know what we are talking about, it is taking her over 21 years.
Thanks Patricia. I have been SO hesitant to get her one. Most of her friends have had one for two years now. It made her nuts, but you have to learn to wait for somethings right? If you get every single thing now what is there to look forward to?
Anyway, it’s done now. I hope I made the right decision.
Thank you for your story!
I had a question. Anyone can answer this. You will bear more about my vacation as time get closer. I was wondering about a cell phone to call home. I was wondering about a go phone. I can not afford a contract. Just to call home and let mom know I’m ok. You know how you mom’s are. Doesn’t matter how old we get you still worry. I’m just going to Amsterdam Paris and London Berlin too.
Cranberry and vodka sounds good.
Not at he same time. Use one as the chaser.
which one?
Chase the cranberry with the vodka. You don’t want to walk around with that cranberry juice taste.
Oh I forgot. I hope it’s not your birthday. Don’t try to blow out candles or smoke.
I dont know Reggie I think you could probably get a pre paid phone but also if you go out of town you may not always get service where your at I know when I go out of town in some spots you dont get service I think that would be the only problem you have to worry about
Brian I think I will check to see what areas a pre pay GO-PHONE covers.
that sounds good Reggie but remember what I said about service and since you are going to be in a different country it might be pretty expensive
Enjoy your trip to Europe. I been to Amsterdam and Paris a number of times while living in Germany. Never made it to Berlin, at the time the wall as up. I tried to order French Fries in Paris, the place did not know what I was talking about. This was before MacDOnalds and other fast food chains move there.
John that is great. You have been to a lot of great places. I heard the first French fries was made in grease. That was a joke.corny I know.
Brian I’m not sure, but I was reading and I think with some pat as you go plans have free roaming to other countries. I think after a certain time. I will have to keep checking on that.
I am not to sure about free roaming I honestly never heard of free roaming but to be honest i am not to sure
I will have to shop around. I will let you know what I find.
sounds good Reggie
Reggie, I think Meredyth is knowledgable in this area. If you’re nice to her, I bet she would share. At least that’s what all the guys say.
Meredyth What do you think? About the phone and roaming. Is the GO-PHONE ok to have if you are going to be out of the country for vacation?
Depending on where you stay you might want to check on calling cards also, they may have some cheaper rates on them, with phones it can get expensive I know sometimes when my husband has to go out of the state it can get expensive on the different taxes, I can only imagine on different countries.
Reggie You would love the dutch chocolate in Holland
I will just think about a phone thing later. I just need to read up on some on the places that I should check out. Hey Patricia where do they have the space cake? Not that I would want some. 😉
I know I heard about the Chocolate.
Reggie whatever happen to Eleanor did Lou run her off
I’m sure Eleanor will come chat soon as she get a chance. Lou doesn’t scare Eleanor. Just in case you missed my post on the other blog I have an appointment this evening. I will have to leave in about an hour.
Sorry! Reggie and all. I’ve had many meetings but I’m back.
Reggie I don’t know if a Go Phone will work in Europe. I am checking on something that may really help you but I’m waiting to hear some more information very soon!
Hang in there and I will know something very soon!
🙂 keep the faith! More coming soon.
Oh Hey Lou C! I just read all the way thru your message about sharing!
Stop reading things in the stalls of the mens room! Really how gullible can a guy be!
You meany!

but don’t loose hope………..you never know what can happen. 🙂
where is Reggie I have not heard from him in 2 days I sent him an email yesterday and have not heard back since then
He’s at MD Anderson right now at 6:20pm. I guess he has a late appt with a doc there.
#114 You mean it’s not true? Darn…
Formerly known as Lou!
Now really do you believe EVERYthing you read?
Grin
Wishful thinking, perhaps.
Thank you realmere1. I just got back. Been at MD Anderson this afternoon. I will go back in the morning, but I won’t be there
all day. I have an evening app that is why I was late getting home. When I took the MRI I told the radiologist I was going to take a nap and to keep the noise down so I can get some ZZZZZZ. They thought that was funny. Oh the places in mind are Amsterdam Paris London and Berlin. I will have a better idea in the next few days.
Brian, I thought I replied to your email. I’m sorry. I was gone all evening. I got home around 9:oopm tonight. MRI and stuff. Tomorrow I should finish up everything
Reggie that why you ask me where i been , you make jealous , I want to go to Europe too, you Lucky dog!
Hey, Reggie, I’m not sure but I think when using a French cell phone, you need to speak French. Could be wrong.
Reggie I sent you the same email again and I still have not gotten a reply but I know your busy I know how Dr’s go believe me I have had my share
Hey you guys I got the part for me computer. Let me answer a few emails and I will be on the blog until later this evening.
Don’t worry Brian I’m going to email you shortly
Now I am ready to do my breakfast, later than having my breakfast coming yet again to read additional news.|
