We have almost recovered from driving through "SNOW" to get to the college for the Houston Speciaty. We really enjoy the hospitality Friday night - Anything Karen Rogers makes is great! And she fed everyone again Sat night: Beef with mushrooms and roast pork - the BEST creamy mashed potatoes - and TWO great cakes. Thanks so much Karen for all your work. Sat the sun came out, no snow, no wind. BEAUTIFUL day. Our own Carolyn McKenna stepped in to judge when Dan Dwier's mother was suddenly taken ill. Our Fire Storm took Winners Dog for a major - out of the Novice Class. He is, of course, sired by Bailey out of our Fire. On Sunday Frank & Chris Fasano showed a wonder bitch by Joshua out of Brittany Spears. She went WB and finished and also finished the ROM on Josh. So they had a great reward for their long drive. Thanks to all the members of the Houston Club, esp Lynn and Vicki, for a great set of shows. It was very relaxing and enjoyable and as Jamie Walker said, the sportsmanship of everyone was great! Hope you all come next year. Carol Moore ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2009.
