In this past couple of weeks a lot of the family at The Pines have lost loved ones that were known by all and ones that were only known by us through the love of the stories told.  My  Heart & Prayers go to all that have lost.  Everyone around the lake knew a woman named Hop-Sing.  They may have known her by Sandra Or as I knew her as one of the Twisted Sisters. She has helped another Twisted Sister named Jane with the Pines Poker Run for the last 4 years.  Her other half everyone knows as Rex the owner of "Texanna Road Lounge"  Rex, I  Love You And As I type this I can feel your tears as my own.  We lost a great friend a night ago and  I will toast to My Twisted Sister Sandra every time I take a sip of Jack.  Sandra was one that could make you laugh with a funny look. Her famous "Boo" used to scare me until that special smile of hers would come out of the corner of mouth and say Karla it's alright, just messing with the crowd.  Here's  to you my Twisted Sister, I will see you when the time comes.  Watch over us and know we will be with you soon.  Until then laugh from above and know I will never forget the good times we shared.
