Parrie Haynes' Ranch Orphans, Horses, Guitars tuned, Pink Cowgirl Hat and a Wrong turn

(Posted earlier today on my Facebook page):

Today...come out and join us! I put pictures of the weekend event schedule, Andy and me playing guitars on stage at one of his earlier open mics a few years back, and I'm about to go add pics of my little 7 year old granddaughter, Laileigh, who has taken her little pink plastic guitar to Andy's music events since I bought it for her around age 1-3 and who now has a white guitar, like mine, only hers has 3 strings, to fit her hands. She insisted we both take our guitars because that's the world I've taught her. I wasn't going to take mine today because I wasn't on the performance schedule, but hey, what's that matter. She looked at me like I was nuts to think of not taking our guitars. Of course we take our guitars, duh!

Later update... well, Laileigh put her pink Cowgirl hat on, we got in Swan, and were headed out to the ranch around 4 pm today. It was starting to storm and I had seen warnings of flash floods. We went over the first of several places where the creek just simply is part of the road, out there. I was filming as we drove, hoping my tires were good because the road is not paved and there's rarely anyone else on the road. I almost always miss a turn and it is confusing.

Lai is wondering why there aren't any fences to keep the cows in and I'm explaining about cattle guards and that the ranch is so large, 4500 acres, that the cows ARE in their fences, you just can't see the fences. I'm explaining about how people a hundred years or so ago and earlier had lots of acres of land. Then I go into how the ranch came to be given to the orphans of Texas decades ago and why we are fighting for it right now.

Lai keeps asking if she can ride a horse and I keep saying, probably not, we don't have a horse, but she can go to the different places where the horses are and feed them hay and pet them. "Andy, will let me ride his horse." ... Me: "Andy is always worried because his horses are so big for you..."

We're watching the dark clouds. I'm pointing out how to recognize the sections of sky where rain is actually falling. We notice it is actually falling right over where the ranch should be, a few miles from us still. I'm getting worried because I saw those flash flood radar maps earlier today and we were in them, and we just had all those horrible Texas floods (caused on purpose by the powers that be and it is Labor Day weekend so I'm sure they plan to spoil that like they spoil every holiday, for the press, and for the psyche effects, don't get me started...)

Anyway I'm getting nervous about the situation. THEN all of a sudden we are right back at the major highway. How did THAT happen? I took a wrong turn trying too soon not to take a wrong turn. Now, we have a new choice to make. I'm thinking God just might have done that on purpose to keep us from going. Me: "I think we should just go home, this is making me really nervous. How about if I take you to a drive-thru and you can get something to eat since I'm changing plans on you." Lai agrees. She was getting nervous too. Big lightning had struck not far from us. I promise we'll go another time.

I've already found a place where she can ride horses and take lessons and they will even deliver horses to the ranch. Each cottage available for overnight rentals has it's own horse corral, where we were going today. So, that solves problems and we go home. (Plus we had been discussing Bigfoot, a subject we've discussed this whole time I've been figuring it out since the Ozarks land was intended for Lai when she grew up, to have land experience.)

Then I had figured out Cryptids exist and were on our Ozarks land, see my 135 short-stories I wrote over the past 5 years about it, day by day, called, "Angel Creek," on my website. So she knows about as much as I know. We even have discussions that 90% of the population would never grasp and 80% of the Bigfoot Community wouldn't even grasp. So she knows, and I've already discussed this privately with those on my level, what's actually in our own Texas area. Lai knows. I'm not going in to that right now but see my stories.

Then I later see pictures of everyone having such a lovely time at the ranch and a playmate of Lai's is even there and I start chiding myself for getting worried. But we are safe and sound, I know where horses are she can pet and ride, and we'll just go another time. So now, I'm back home reading my new Bigfoot book that came today, scroll my page (or see my latest stories) and you'll see it. It's about how they can crawl like spiders, and yes, they can. Night! xo Angel

Re: The event at the Parrie Haynes' Ranch to try to save it, hosted by Andy and others, and our music friends. Lai and I had our guitars and had even tuned them before we left. Oh well, next time. xo

Laileigh saw Andy start to play his guitar and sing so she got her guitar and went over to play and sing with him, all on her own, at his ranch. She has known him since she was 3 months old and she is now almost 8.
