| In celebration of the arrival of the Houston
Livestock Show and Rodeo, the April Sound Ladies Association's
luncheon was all western. All the ladies came decked out in their
best western finery and looking quite spectacular. Three of these
lovely ladies went home as winners. |
Marie Adams looked stunning in her stylish all-black pantsuit
with a rhinestone studded vest. Dianne Burghart wore a beautiful
suede slacks and a jacket trimmed with long fringe. Luine Hancock
looked wonderful in her matching skirt, vest and western hat in a
very patriotic Texas flag print. All three of them put me to shame,
but at least I had my boots on.
After the judging and prizes,
Karin Hughes, introduced the guest performer for the day. Everyone
who had heard Isaac Satterwhite before said he was great, but that
was certainly an understatement. Having grown up around country and
gospel music, he says he found his greatest source of inspiration in
his grandfather who was a traveling gospel singer. Now he is pursing
his own musical career and spends the weekends taking the stage at
clubs and opry houses across Texas. At a recent competition Isaac
took home top honors - without even knowing he was competing. In
November he was named Texas Country Music Show Entertainer of the
Month after a performance in Kirbyville where again he had no idea
he was being judged.
He really wowed the ladies with his rich,
pure voice and his charging personal style. He opened with "Waltz
Across Texas" and performed for almost an hour singing a little old
and a little new. He shook the rafters when he sang "Broken Lady"
and was brought back for an encore to sing "Baby, I'm Amazed by
You."
If you want to see him in person too, some of his upcoming
"gigs" will be at the Texas Opry Jamboree in Magnolia on March 22
and April 19 and the Galveston County Fair and Rodeo on April
5.
Montgomery County Performing Arts Society will open its sixth
annual Designer Showhouse to the public on Saturday, March 15- March
30. Tickets to the Showhouse are $10 per person. They can be
purchased at the door or call (936) 582-4492 for further
information.
The Opening Night Celebration at the Showhouse is
Friday, at 6:30 p.m. Tickets are $50 per person and reservations can
be made by calling (936) 582-6903.
This beautiful 5,800 square
New England/Cape Cod home is located on a deep-water cove on Lake
Conroe's north shore in Longmire Estates. Builder, Wiley Anderson's
eclectic is once again revealed in the warmth of the antique
hardwoods used on the curving staircase and throughout the first
floor, accented with slate and granite borders. State of the art
appliances in the gourmet kitchen will delight any chef.
Local
designers from Conroe, Houston, Huntsville and The Woodlands have
been selected to use their skills to transform each room. MCPAS
members will feature Bach's Bistro, serving lunch and desserts at
the home as well as shopping in The Boutique, known for its
collection of curios, gadgets, jewelry, handbags, home accessories
and more.
To reach the Showhouse take I-45 North, taking a left
on League Line Road. Take a left on Longmire Road, a right on
Longmire Way and a left at the dead end/stop sign. Pass White Oak
Ranch and continue straight ahead to the gates of Longmire Estates.
Go through the gates and curve to the right, continue straight and
curve around, the lake will be on your left. 12533 Longmire Lakeview
West is on the left.
