Return of The REDHEAD EXPRESS
On Saturday October 29 we were treated to a brief stopover of our friends The REDHEAD
EXPRESS They were in the area so they did a little show to a absolutely packed house here at
Triple Creek As you know we have adopted them and we are their Texas home Wersquore very
fortunate that they stop in here from time to time for a visit This visit was even more special
because they attracted even more local Bluegrass musicians that we havenrsquot known before
If you thought this visit was great wait until they return for a full show in February in Jasper

This is a picture of the feeder by the road
If you watch you can see the deer there
every morning and every evening
We think they are getting to accustomed
to Karen taking their picture as they just
stand there now Most of the time they
will at least look at the camera when shersquos
out there but at this minute they were
distracted by a car going down the road
Keep watching them year after year as
them mature and grow We just hope they can find enough water to drink this year
WOW

was snapped when Ms
Ethyl wasnrsquot looking but

Triple Creek ldquoLIVErdquo on KWUD radio
Radio has often been considered one of the most personal forms of media It brings the business to the people
right in the comfort of their very own homes
Karan is not talking on KWUD radio every Friday morning around 900 am Wersquore trying to get the word out
about all the good things going on at Triple Creek amp the existence of Bluegrass music
Karen talks about the specific instrumentation and how Bluegrass is has a distinguishing characteristic of
featuring two three or four parts harmony Unlike mainstream country music bluegrass is traditionally played on
acoustic stringed instruments The fiddle five-string banjo guitar mandolin and upright bass are often joined by
the resonator guitar (also referred to as a Dobro) and harmonica
We hope Alvinrsquos Blue grass jokes show up on radio
Ms Audreyrsquos camera
Ms Audreyrsquos camera has come up missing She uses it to take pictures that

you see her please thank her for all the hard work she does not only taking

LET IT RAIN
Many of you have asked about the boat that is ―docked
here at Triple Creek Well as many of us have aged we like
to be prepared for all events Therefore this baby is gassed
up and ready to go once the fall rains finally hit here
No the real story is that ―Tug Boat Joe is getting some
work done to his trailer Once repaired his boat will no
longer be dry docked
ITS GOING TO RAIN
Forgive our mess When it does start raining around
here we want to be prepared Wersquore currently trying
to get the drainage fixed around here Several areas
are washing out so wersquore putting in culverts and
installing concrete areas to fix this for the future
Next time it rains donrsquot think it strange when you
see several of us will be out there looking to see
where all the water comes from and goes to Wersquore
just trying to identify what needs to be done
WHEN IT DOES RAIN
If you havenrsquot seen this project going on Royce is
building little Lynda a patio behind their house Lynda
is supervising Royce on a hour by hour basis but even
with all this supervision Royce is able to make pro-
gress
As you can see when this is finished Lynda is going to
have a screened in porch to watch the world from Irsquom
assuming that wersquoll soon be invited over for the open
house celebration

Original Bass This is the tub bass that Karen saw while traveling in New York State It is the basic model Moving the pump handle up and down is what gives the bass the different pitches The neck of this fine instrument is short enough to allow you to set down and play This item comes in a cardboard box ready for your assembly which is pretty much straight forward
If you are interested in purchasing such a refined instrument such as this contact Karen and she will tell you all the details
Deluxe Model This is the model that Karen has for herself It can be seen in action here at the Creek almost any time there is music played

chefs for the competition in October We sampled and we sam-

that not only drew a lot of entries but also a significant amount of
judges As always this proves to be a VERY popular event every
year
This years top award went to Ms Audrey with her Apple Ice-
cream Second place went to Ms Pat with her apple crumb cake

Here are the words to the song
Right Left of Floyd
By Gary Hudson
When you pick a seat in the circle jam
Be careful where you go
Therersquos a lot of talent here at Triple Creek
Irsquom here to tell you so
If you sit to the left of the wrong one
They make you sound real bad
You might think yoursquore singing pretty
But its really pretty sad
I donrsquot want to follow Mary
She makes me null and void
And I just canrsquot follow Kenny
Lord please let me follow Floyd
I donrsquot want to sing after Oscar
Thatrsquos a chair I must avoid
So if you get there early save me the seat right left of Floyd
I donrsquot want to follow Mary
She makes me null and void
And I just canrsquot follow Kenny
Lord please let me follow Floyd
I donrsquot want to sing after Deana
Thatrsquos a chair I must avoid
So if you get there early save me the seat right left of Floyd
Wild Pigs

This is a picture taken just outside the
park at one of the deer feeders Our

and shot two of them with one bullet

In Loving Memory
Of
Nancy Jane James
March 11 1947mdashOctober 29 2011
For every burden that we bear
For every sorrow every care
Therersquos a reason
For every grief that bows the head
For every tear-drop that is shed
Therersquos a reason
For every hurt for every plight
For ever lonely painracked night
Therersquos a reason
But if we trust God as we should
All must work out for all our good
He knows the reason
Nancy was a long time resident of Triple Creek
When she left Triple Creek she took a part of it
with her Her room was filled with pictures and
pictures and pictures of all the faces she came to
know at Triple Creek She never really left us

Keep watching them year after year as
them mature and grow We just hope they can find enough water to drink this year

Triple Creek ldquoLIVErdquo on KWUD radio
Radio has often been considered one of the most personal forms of media It brings the business to the people
right in the comfort of their very own homes
Karan is not talking on KWUD radio every Friday morning around 900 am Wersquore trying to get the word out
about all the good things going on at Triple Creek amp the existence of Bluegrass music
Karen talks about the specific instrumentation and how Bluegrass is has a distinguishing characteristic of
featuring two three or four parts harmony Unlike mainstream country music bluegrass is traditionally played on
acoustic stringed instruments The fiddle five-string banjo guitar mandolin and upright bass are often joined by
the resonator guitar (also referred to as a Dobro) and harmonica
We hope Alvinrsquos Blue grass jokes show up on radio

Many of you have asked about the boat that is ―docked
here at Triple Creek Well as many of us have aged we like
to be prepared for all events Therefore this baby is gassed
up and ready to go once the fall rains finally hit here

Forgive our mess When it does start raining around
here we want to be prepared Wersquore currently trying
to get the drainage fixed around here Several areas
are washing out so wersquore putting in culverts and
installing concrete areas to fix this for the future
Next time it rains donrsquot think it strange when you
see several of us will be out there looking to see
where all the water comes from and goes to Wersquore
just trying to identify what needs to be done
WHEN IT DOES RAIN

Original Bass This is the tub bass that Karen saw while traveling in New York State It is the basic model Moving the pump handle up and down is what gives the bass the different pitches The neck of this fine instrument is short enough to allow you to set down and play This item comes in a cardboard box ready for your assembly which is pretty much straight forward
If you are interested in purchasing such a refined instrument such as this contact Karen and she will tell you all the details
Deluxe Model This is the model that Karen has for herself It can be seen in action here at the Creek almost any time there is music played

Thatrsquos a chair I must avoid
So if you get there early save me the seat right left of Floyd
I donrsquot want to follow Mary
She makes me null and void
And I just canrsquot follow Kenny
Lord please let me follow Floyd
I donrsquot want to sing after Deana
Thatrsquos a chair I must avoid
So if you get there early save me the seat right left of Floyd

In Loving Memory
Of
Nancy Jane James
March 11 1947mdashOctober 29 2011
For every burden that we bear
For every sorrow every care
Therersquos a reason
For every grief that bows the head
For every tear-drop that is shed
Therersquos a reason
For every hurt for every plight
For ever lonely painracked night
Therersquos a reason
But if we trust God as we should
All must work out for all our good
He knows the reason
Nancy was a long time resident of Triple Creek
When she left Triple Creek she took a part of it
with her Her room was filled with pictures and
pictures and pictures of all the faces she came to
know at Triple Creek She never really left us

Triple Creek ldquoLIVErdquo on KWUD radio
Radio has often been considered one of the most personal forms of media It brings the business to the people
right in the comfort of their very own homes
Karan is not talking on KWUD radio every Friday morning around 900 am Wersquore trying to get the word out
about all the good things going on at Triple Creek amp the existence of Bluegrass music
Karen talks about the specific instrumentation and how Bluegrass is has a distinguishing characteristic of
featuring two three or four parts harmony Unlike mainstream country music bluegrass is traditionally played on
acoustic stringed instruments The fiddle five-string banjo guitar mandolin and upright bass are often joined by
the resonator guitar (also referred to as a Dobro) and harmonica
We hope Alvinrsquos Blue grass jokes show up on radio

LET IT RAIN
Many of you have asked about the boat that is ―docked
here at Triple Creek Well as many of us have aged we like
to be prepared for all events Therefore this baby is gassed
up and ready to go once the fall rains finally hit here
No the real story is that ―Tug Boat Joe is getting some
work done to his trailer Once repaired his boat will no
longer be dry docked
ITS GOING TO RAIN
Forgive our mess When it does start raining around
here we want to be prepared Wersquore currently trying
to get the drainage fixed around here Several areas
are washing out so wersquore putting in culverts and
installing concrete areas to fix this for the future
Next time it rains donrsquot think it strange when you
see several of us will be out there looking to see
where all the water comes from and goes to Wersquore
just trying to identify what needs to be done
WHEN IT DOES RAIN
If you havenrsquot seen this project going on Royce is
building little Lynda a patio behind their house Lynda
is supervising Royce on a hour by hour basis but even
with all this supervision Royce is able to make pro-
gress
As you can see when this is finished Lynda is going to
have a screened in porch to watch the world from Irsquom
assuming that wersquoll soon be invited over for the open

Original Bass This is the tub bass that Karen saw while traveling in New York State It is the basic model Moving the pump handle up and down is what gives the bass the different pitches The neck of this fine instrument is short enough to allow you to set down and play This item comes in a cardboard box ready for your assembly which is pretty much straight forward
If you are interested in purchasing such a refined instrument such as this contact Karen and she will tell you all the details
Deluxe Model This is the model that Karen has for herself It can be seen in action here at the Creek almost any time there is music played

APPLE COOK_OFF
Here is a picture of the offerings that were all made by our local
chefs for the competition in October We sampled and we sam-
pled until there was nothing left This is one crowd pleasing event
that not only drew a lot of entries but also a significant amount of
judges As always this proves to be a VERY popular event every
year
This years top award went to Ms Audrey with her Apple Ice-
cream Second place went to Ms Pat with her apple crumb cake
As we all know Ms Pat has been the winner for several consecu-
tive years now Dudley and Marc found that by combining the
ice-cream with the apple crumb cake we can enter that next year
and come out the winner We know that will be the ultimate winning combination

So if you get there early save me the seat right left of Floyd
I donrsquot want to follow Mary
She makes me null and void
And I just canrsquot follow Kenny
Lord please let me follow Floyd
I donrsquot want to sing after Deana
Thatrsquos a chair I must avoid
So if you get there early save me the seat right left of Floyd

In Loving Memory
Of
Nancy Jane James
March 11 1947mdashOctober 29 2011
For every burden that we bear
For every sorrow every care
Therersquos a reason
For every grief that bows the head
For every tear-drop that is shed
Therersquos a reason
For every hurt for every plight
For ever lonely painracked night
Therersquos a reason
But if we trust God as we should
All must work out for all our good
He knows the reason
Nancy was a long time resident of Triple Creek
When she left Triple Creek she took a part of it
with her Her room was filled with pictures and
pictures and pictures of all the faces she came to
know at Triple Creek She never really left us

Triple Creek ldquoLIVErdquo on KWUD radio
Radio has often been considered one of the most personal forms of media It brings the business to the people
right in the comfort of their very own homes
Karan is not talking on KWUD radio every Friday morning around 900 am Wersquore trying to get the word out
about all the good things going on at Triple Creek amp the existence of Bluegrass music
Karen talks about the specific instrumentation and how Bluegrass is has a distinguishing characteristic of
featuring two three or four parts harmony Unlike mainstream country music bluegrass is traditionally played on
acoustic stringed instruments The fiddle five-string banjo guitar mandolin and upright bass are often joined by
the resonator guitar (also referred to as a Dobro) and harmonica
We hope Alvinrsquos Blue grass jokes show up on radio
Ms Audreyrsquos camera
Ms Audreyrsquos camera has come up missing She uses it to take pictures that
we use in this publication If you see it please return it to her Next time
you see her please thank her for all the hard work she does not only taking

LET IT RAIN
Many of you have asked about the boat that is ―docked
here at Triple Creek Well as many of us have aged we like
to be prepared for all events Therefore this baby is gassed
up and ready to go once the fall rains finally hit here
No the real story is that ―Tug Boat Joe is getting some
work done to his trailer Once repaired his boat will no
longer be dry docked
ITS GOING TO RAIN
Forgive our mess When it does start raining around
here we want to be prepared Wersquore currently trying
to get the drainage fixed around here Several areas
are washing out so wersquore putting in culverts and
installing concrete areas to fix this for the future
Next time it rains donrsquot think it strange when you
see several of us will be out there looking to see
where all the water comes from and goes to Wersquore
just trying to identify what needs to be done
WHEN IT DOES RAIN
If you havenrsquot seen this project going on Royce is
building little Lynda a patio behind their house Lynda
is supervising Royce on a hour by hour basis but even
with all this supervision Royce is able to make pro-
gress
As you can see when this is finished Lynda is going to
have a screened in porch to watch the world from Irsquom
assuming that wersquoll soon be invited over for the open
house celebration

Right Left of Floyd
By Gary Hudson
When you pick a seat in the circle jam
Be careful where you go
Therersquos a lot of talent here at Triple Creek
Irsquom here to tell you so
If you sit to the left of the wrong one

You might think yoursquore singing pretty
But its really pretty sad

She makes me null and void
And I just canrsquot follow Kenny
Lord please let me follow Floyd
I donrsquot want to sing after Oscar
Thatrsquos a chair I must avoid
So if you get there early save me the seat right left of Floyd
I donrsquot want to follow Mary
She makes me null and void
And I just canrsquot follow Kenny
Lord please let me follow Floyd
I donrsquot want to sing after Deana
Thatrsquos a chair I must avoid
So if you get there early save me the seat right left of Floyd
Wild Pigs

This is a picture taken just outside the
park at one of the deer feeders Our

In Loving Memory
Of
Nancy Jane James
March 11 1947mdashOctober 29 2011
For every burden that we bear
For every sorrow every care
Therersquos a reason
For every grief that bows the head
For every tear-drop that is shed
Therersquos a reason
For every hurt for every plight
For ever lonely painracked night
Therersquos a reason
But if we trust God as we should
All must work out for all our good
He knows the reason
Nancy was a long time resident of Triple Creek
When she left Triple Creek she took a part of it
with her Her room was filled with pictures and
pictures and pictures of all the faces she came to
know at Triple Creek She never really left us

Triple Creek ldquoLIVErdquo on KWUD radio
Radio has often been considered one of the most personal forms of media It brings the business to the people
right in the comfort of their very own homes
Karan is not talking on KWUD radio every Friday morning around 900 am Wersquore trying to get the word out
about all the good things going on at Triple Creek amp the existence of Bluegrass music
Karen talks about the specific instrumentation and how Bluegrass is has a distinguishing characteristic of
featuring two three or four parts harmony Unlike mainstream country music bluegrass is traditionally played on
acoustic stringed instruments The fiddle five-string banjo guitar mandolin and upright bass are often joined by
the resonator guitar (also referred to as a Dobro) and harmonica
We hope Alvinrsquos Blue grass jokes show up on radio
Ms Audreyrsquos camera
Ms Audreyrsquos camera has come up missing She uses it to take pictures that
we use in this publication If you see it please return it to her Next time

here we want to be prepared Wersquore currently trying
to get the drainage fixed around here Several areas

installing concrete areas to fix this for the future

where all the water comes from and goes to Wersquore
just trying to identify what needs to be done
WHEN IT DOES RAIN

building little Lynda a patio behind their house Lynda
is supervising Royce on a hour by hour basis but even
with all this supervision Royce is able to make pro-

have a screened in porch to watch the world from Irsquom
assuming that wersquoll soon be invited over for the open
house celebration

Right Left of Floyd
By Gary Hudson

Thatrsquos a chair I must avoid
So if you get there early save me the seat right left of Floyd
I donrsquot want to follow Mary
She makes me null and void
And I just canrsquot follow Kenny
Lord please let me follow Floyd
I donrsquot want to sing after Deana
Thatrsquos a chair I must avoid
So if you get there early save me the seat right left of Floyd

In Loving Memory
Of
Nancy Jane James
March 11 1947mdashOctober 29 2011
For every burden that we bear
For every sorrow every care
Therersquos a reason
For every grief that bows the head
For every tear-drop that is shed
Therersquos a reason
For every hurt for every plight
For ever lonely painracked night
Therersquos a reason
But if we trust God as we should
All must work out for all our good
He knows the reason
Nancy was a long time resident of Triple Creek
When she left Triple Creek she took a part of it
with her Her room was filled with pictures and
pictures and pictures of all the faces she came to
know at Triple Creek She never really left us

LET IT RAIN
Many of you have asked about the boat that is ―docked
here at Triple Creek Well as many of us have aged we like
to be prepared for all events Therefore this baby is gassed
up and ready to go once the fall rains finally hit here
No the real story is that ―Tug Boat Joe is getting some
work done to his trailer Once repaired his boat will no
longer be dry docked
ITS GOING TO RAIN
Forgive our mess When it does start raining around
here we want to be prepared Wersquore currently trying
to get the drainage fixed around here Several areas
are washing out so wersquore putting in culverts and
installing concrete areas to fix this for the future
Next time it rains donrsquot think it strange when you
see several of us will be out there looking to see
where all the water comes from and goes to Wersquore
just trying to identify what needs to be done
WHEN IT DOES RAIN
If you havenrsquot seen this project going on Royce is
building little Lynda a patio behind their house Lynda
is supervising Royce on a hour by hour basis but even
with all this supervision Royce is able to make pro-
gress
As you can see when this is finished Lynda is going to
have a screened in porch to watch the world from Irsquom
assuming that wersquoll soon be invited over for the open
house celebration

If you are interested in purchasing such a refined instrument such as this contact Karen and she will tell you all the details

Original Bass This is the tub bass that Karen saw while traveling in New York State It is the basic model Moving the pump handle up and down is what gives the bass the different pitches The neck of this fine instrument is short enough to allow you to set down and play This item comes in a cardboard box ready for your assembly which is pretty much straight forward
If you are interested in purchasing such a refined instrument such as this contact Karen and she will tell you all the details
Deluxe Model This is the model that Karen has for herself It can be seen in action here at the Creek almost any time there is music played

And I just canrsquot follow Kenny
Lord please let me follow Floyd
I donrsquot want to sing after Deana
Thatrsquos a chair I must avoid
So if you get there early save me the seat right left of Floyd

In Loving Memory
Of
Nancy Jane James
March 11 1947mdashOctober 29 2011
For every burden that we bear
For every sorrow every care
Therersquos a reason
For every grief that bows the head
For every tear-drop that is shed
Therersquos a reason
For every hurt for every plight
For ever lonely painracked night
Therersquos a reason
But if we trust God as we should
All must work out for all our good
He knows the reason
Nancy was a long time resident of Triple Creek
When she left Triple Creek she took a part of it
with her Her room was filled with pictures and
pictures and pictures of all the faces she came to
know at Triple Creek She never really left us

In Loving Memory
Of
Nancy Jane James
March 11 1947mdashOctober 29 2011
For every burden that we bear
For every sorrow every care
Therersquos a reason
For every grief that bows the head
For every tear-drop that is shed
Therersquos a reason
For every hurt for every plight
For ever lonely painracked night
Therersquos a reason
But if we trust God as we should
All must work out for all our good
He knows the reason
Nancy was a long time resident of Triple Creek
When she left Triple Creek she took a part of it
with her Her room was filled with pictures and
pictures and pictures of all the faces she came to
know at Triple Creek She never really left us

In Loving Memory
Of
Nancy Jane James
March 11 1947mdashOctober 29 2011
For every burden that we bear
For every sorrow every care
Therersquos a reason
For every grief that bows the head
For every tear-drop that is shed
Therersquos a reason
For every hurt for every plight
For ever lonely painracked night
Therersquos a reason
But if we trust God as we should
All must work out for all our good
He knows the reason
Nancy was a long time resident of Triple Creek
When she left Triple Creek she took a part of it
with her Her room was filled with pictures and
pictures and pictures of all the faces she came to
know at Triple Creek She never really left us

day long
AWESOME

Original Bass This is the tub bass that Karen saw while traveling in New York State It is the basic model Moving the pump handle up and down is what gives the bass the different pitches The neck of this fine instrument is short enough to allow you to set down and play This item comes in a cardboard box ready for your assembly which is pretty much straight forward
If you are interested in purchasing such a refined instrument such as this contact Karen and she will tell you all the details
Deluxe Model This is the model that Karen has for herself It can be seen in action here at the Creek almost any time there is music played

For every sorrow every care
Therersquos a reason
For every grief that bows the head
For every tear-drop that is shed
Therersquos a reason
For every hurt for every plight
For ever lonely painracked night
Therersquos a reason
But if we trust God as we should
All must work out for all our good
He knows the reason
Nancy was a long time resident of Triple Creek
When she left Triple Creek she took a part of it
with her Her room was filled with pictures and
pictures and pictures of all the faces she came to
know at Triple Creek She never really left us
