So if you are looking for ‘Mustang Sally‘ I am not sure she is to be found on Mustang Island, Texas. Which is where we have ended up this Friday, the 4th of March, on a barrier island across from Corpus Cristi, Texas. This is a better experience, so far than, Grand Isle.

Ah, but there is ‘local color’ to be had along the way. Early afternoon breakfast at The Skillet outside of Port Lavaca, Texas put us into ear shot and therefore contact with one Sterling MacArthur Griffith, your ‘expansive’  Texan if ever there was one. We enjoyed our meal and our conversation and will endeavor to catch up with Sterling and Betty later on this coming week in Fulton.  Ten years our seniors they have lived in this coastal area of Texas all their lives. Betty, of Danish roots, hails from Danevang, TX.  Sterling is of Choctaw and Irish heritage. His mom named him after a local pharmacist and Gen’l MacArthur. Word has it, that back in the day, he needed his mother’s signed permission to marry Betty. Something about if you were under 21 the state required a parent’s written permission before you could marry. Makes some sense.  Sterling’s nickname is ‘Cherokee’ and word has it, his word, that Cherokee is a country music aficionado having been known to sing a country tune, pluck an old guitar and present a Grand Ole’ Opry style country music show. We intend to go see this coming Thursday, March 10th at Paws and Taws in Fulton, Texas.

Stay tuned for images.
