State Liar's Contest

It's April Fool Day and I'm ready to talk about my lying pedigree.

The address above is a prayer letter I receive monthly. As you can see, it reads Curt Lies.

I've thought about correcting it, but kind of enjoy the laughs it gets.

It's a good April Fool Day item to share.

Several weeks ago I had a great honor-- I served as a judge for the Louisiana State Liar's Contest. It was fun and a neat experience. Sponsored by the La./Cenla Storyteller's Guild, it is a yearly event.

I laughed that my years as an assistant principal prepared me to judge liars, or maybe it was the address on the above envelope

It was a fun day of storytelling. By the way, a preacher won second place.

On Friday and Saturday I spent time at the Merryville Heritage Festival. As always, it was a fine time of music, visiting, and making new friends.

Picture are my friends who were my next door neighbors at my booth.

We visited Clay and Robin Iles and Noah in Fort Worth. Terry Iles is on the left and DeDe on the right. We are at an Indian Restaurant. It was the hottest food I've ever eaten. They made fun of my sweating!
