The newsy news for me this year is the realization of my life-long dream. As you know from my biography of last year, I was raised outside Cleveland, Ohio, but shoveling snow was not what these paws were meant to do, so I headed South, and met up with a fair maiden from the Texas Hill Country. I now man the til at the local emporium, which provides a bit of catnip, but mainly allows me to be the first in town to learn all the gossip! However, my heart has always yearned to start a musical group, and at last that dream has been realized. I, along with my friends Milliam Carton Moldwell and George Albert Sullivan, have formed the popular group called The Oom-Paw-Paw Trio. I play the fiddle, Milliam the xylophone, and George the accordian.

Amongst Milliam Carton Moldwell's ancestors were several "saddle-cats" who rode with the famed Texas Rangers in the glory days of the Old West (you can see some of these famed felines pictured in the wallpaper of one of our new powder rooms here at Creations). Milliam tends to his ranch just outside Kerrville, but next to his cows, his true love has always been music.

George Albert Sullivan is a retired politician with many years serving his constituents in the Senate. Finally deciding to leave politics to the younger boys, this elder statesman now devotes his spare time to writing his memoirs (working title is "How I Flushed the Rats Out"), and as the P.R. manager for our trio.

Our Oom-Paw-Paw Trio is in great demand for weddings, rodeo intermissions, Quincineras, hoe-downs, and class reunions. For more information, please contact our business manager, Stanley. He can be reached at Creations main number, 830-896-8088... Ask for Julie, and she will relay the message.
