Thursday, July 28, 2016 – Henry’s Hideout – Texas

“I know a place where we can go…” Just off of FM 1774 where Montgomery, Grimes and Waller Counties come together is Henry’s Hideout. I have devised a quiz for you regarding this place. Henry’s definitely deserves a historical marker – even if it a personal, coming of age type marker. Growing up in Magnolia, I was forbidden to even drive by the place.

Give yourself one point for each answer you answer with “YES.”

1. Have you ever been there?
2. Have you ever had a cold beer there?
3. Have you ever had a cold beer AND a barbeque sandwich there?
4. Do you know what Henry’s last name was?
5. Have you ever danced a two-step and Cotton Eyed Joe in the dancehall there?
6. Have you ever participated, witnessed or broken up a fight there?
7. Have you ever played in a band there?
8. Have you ever sung on stage with the band there – whether you were supposed to or not?
9. Have you ever celebrated Genevieve’s birthday there?
10. Would you like to be there now?

If you said NO to the first question, you should plan a trip. If you answered YES to the first question I would love to hear your stories.

Many of you should not lie and say NO because I was with you when we did numbers two through nine. I wish we could do number 10 together today. Thank goodness there were no digital cameras or phones. Oh, I scored a perfect 10.
