Hi, everybudy!
This is Old Bear ritin 2 U agin and I poljize cus my man's magazine wus dun late this month.
He waited 4 me to rite this story abowt our good trip with Miss RoseMary to see some hysterical places.
We went on a bus and there wus 54 or 55 peoples that went on the bus cus everybudy likes to go on a trip
with Miss RoseMary who wus doin the trip leadin. She knows jist abowt everything and tells histerical things
in a way that makes everybudy laff. Peoples were laffin all the way to where we were going, and that wus
abowt a 2 hour trip.
Where we went first was to Bonham, Texus to see where Mr. Sam Rayburn's home and go to the library that
Mr. Sam had bilt. Mr. Sam wus importunt cus he had been sumpn called The Speaker of the House for longer
than anyone else and had helped 8 presidents run the country cus he wus such a good speaker. Here's a story
about Mr. Sam that was in his front yard.
Miss RoseMary sed that Mr. Sam must have been a reel honest man cus wen he died he only had about four or two thousand
dollars saved up. And an old Cadillac car that the senators who knew him had collected 25 dollars from a lot
of peples to buy it for him.
Miss Rosemary told us that Mr. Sam had been married once but not many people knew it cus it wus only
for 4 weeks and 22 days and he never sed much abowt it. She sed Mr. Sam was purty prowd that he had been
married longer than Sam Houston. Mr. Sam Houston wus a reel famus man in Texus histry.
Becus there were so many peoples on the bus Miss Rosemary had to make 2 groups out of us. Our first
stop was at the Rayburn Library where half of the peoples got off the bus then those of us who were left
went back to the Rayburn House and Museum. Then evrybudy went to the bathroom; that took maybe thirty minutes. Then
we went on a tour of the house which wus jist like it wus when Mr. Sam wus living there, He didn't have
much of anything that wus fancy. The guide lady sed he lived with his sister and they did a lot of
entertaining and sumtymes set at a big table and sumtymes ate in the kitchen. Most everybudy on our tour
thought it was a comfortable house and it sure did look that way. Here's sum pitchers of the inside of Mr. Sam's house and his Cadillac car.
Here's a pitcher of the lady who showed us through Mr. Sam's house and told us a lot of histerical stuff.
Me and my man toured the house with only half of the peoples on the bus. The other half had been
left at Mr. Sam's Library. When our half wus thru lukin at things in the house we got back on the bus and went
to the Library. We got off the bus and they got on the bus and went to the house for their turn at lookin. But
before all that happened everybudy went to a nyce restaurant for lunch.
Miss RoseMary is the lady in green at the heqd of the table she was sittin at.
The Sam Rayburn Library wus in a purty fancy building like you can see in this pitcher.
There wus a statue of Mr. Sam out in front and if you looked the other way there wus sort of a wall made out
of some black stuff that had sum ritin wurds on it. My man sed these were sum of the wurds that Mr. Sam had
spoke in speeches and stuff like that. Of course inside the Library wus all kinds of pitchers and ritins
about Mr. Sam wen he wus in Congress. One room wus full of books and that's wear I got my pitcher tuk
pretendin 2 reed one of them.
After seein Mr. Sam's house and Museum Mr. Don, the bus driver, tuk us to Paris. Not the one in
France, but the one in texus that isn't very far from Bonham. Why we went there wus to see a place called
The Sam Bell Maxy House. This Mr. Sam was a Confederate general and then a U.S. Senator. The house was
built in 1868 and has a hole lot of old timey things in it.
Evry budy wus purty tyred after seeing the Maxey house and sort glad to be goin home. Miss RoseMary told
sum more funny stories on the way back sew hardly anyone went to sleep. We were supposed to B home by 4:00
but it was like 6:00 instead. But evrybudy had a gud tyme.
