Another Labor Day weekend is upon us, time to head to Bandera Texas where the cowboy never dies- time again for another "Celebrate Bandera" extravaganza.  I don't mean a small get together, I mean mega celebration, The Bandera County Chamber of Commerce, The Convention and Vistors Bureau, the Bandera Business Association, the Dude Ranches, the Watering Holes, and numerous Bandera Businesses pull out the stops when it comes to jamming the weekend full of activities. The big kickoff begins Saturday, August 30, at 11AM with the Longhorn Cattle Drive and Parade down Mainstreet Bandera.  The streets are lined 3 deep in anticipation of the yearly trek of some 50 longhorns, none of which stray from their intended destination.

Last night, the Silver Sage Community Center, and Bandera Honors Veterans, put on a program for Veterans, which I, as the Bandera County Veterans Service Officer, was a participant.  Being that I have only been the Service Officer for Bandera for one year, this was the first seminar that I had a part in. There were several participants, the Texas Veterans Commission, the VA Hospital System, The Veterans Administration, the Texas Veterans Land Board, TVC Employment Counselors from San Antonio and Kerrville, the American Legion from Bandera and Lakehills Chapters, and a VA approved loan officer. All of these representatives were there for two hours to explain their jobs and to answer veterans questions, and to assit them in filing for benefits. Besides myself, there were Service Officers ... 08/21/2008

Back on August 28, 2007 I wrote a blog about "Devastating Fire on Main St. Bandera" in which I told about the wipe out of two major businesses in Bandera Texas. Shoe Biz, owned by Peggy Ashmore opened on April 17, 1987 and has been a constant in Bandera ever since. The store carries not just shoes, (Keds, Clarks, and many other distinguished brands), but a full line of womens clothing, accessories and jewelry. Hers was the place to find out what styles were new and what colors were in this year.  It is where the menfolk could buy that oh so special blouse or dress, or necklace that the Mrs. wished was her own. It seemed as though the rebuilding process was going oh so slow as well, there was the Fire Marshall's report, the Insurance Inspector's report, the wait for the insurance proceed... 08/16/2008

The routine is the same for us each Sunday morning- call the OST (Old Spanish Trail) to see what  the lunch buffet is today. That is important because that call determines where my husband an I will have lunch that day.  If the OST is having something that I don't like (turkey and dressing for example) then we go somewhere else for lunch.  I've called each Sunday morning so often, that Linda (the hostess with the mostess) already knows it's me (by my phone#) and just tells me what the buffet is that day. Well, today was roast beef, broccoli with cheese, boiled potatoes, succotash, ribs, rolls, plus a salad bar with potato salad, jello and pudding. Who could ask for better? And only $7.95 per adult, such a deal! The night before, we were greeted with a new menu with higher prices on all ... 08/10/2008
