Austin, Texas
On May 19, 2014 we made a quickie trip to the area of Austin, Texas. We went there to see our daughter, Stacy Magness, and her husband John and adult children Dylan and Christal. They are all working folks, so we didn’t get to visit with them as much as we would have liked. Sure as heck better than nothing, though.
Stacy Paregien Magness cuddles with Penny, now almost 15 years old. When we moved to Florida, Stacy agreed to take our two dogs–Penny and Laddie–into their home. All seem to have adjusted well, with Penny remaining Queen of the mansion. Photo by Stan Paregien on May 19, 2014.Our daughter, Mrs. John (Stacy) Magness and her daughter, Christal.

They typically feature folks, even the preacher, dressed in jeans and cowboy hats. Besides worship and Bible studies, they often have or sponsor trail rides, calf ropings, etc. Try one sometime, you might really like it.Burleson County Cowboy Church, south of Caldwell, Texas.
