Well to hell with the rest of the world, and politics and crashing economy and all that.... we here in Wimberley have kept the party rolling according to our motto of "keeping Wimberley weirder."
Last weekend I entered Phoebe (my elite but whiny American Bulldog) into the "Blessing of the Animals" celebration. She won an award for something - either best dressed or being a big dog or something.... we marched around and asked God to bless our animals... some folks had chickens, rabbits and a hermit crab. God was able to bless them all.
This weekend we had the 3rd annual Calamari Chili Cook-off - the largest chili cook off in Wimberley on this side of the Blanco River. It was great. We didn't win but came real close. Adena's chili was devoured by everyone. Mark won the "Best Booth" award with his Elvis in Hawaii dress-up. He did look cool I must admit. We were the "Raise the Dead" chili and dressed as such. I got to entertain a little on my slide guitar and harmonica with a make-shift gig with the popular Whitney who was there.
Whatever the rest of the world is doing, we're going to keep it weirder here in Wimberley and keep it fun.
It sucks to live in other places.
