Giddy up Catch Up www.teresakayentertainment.com Growing chick Hen & chick December 3, 2015 singer, songwriter, entertainer, guitarist recording artist Hello Family Friends, What an eventful year! As you can tell by the photos there is a country flavor to the newsletter pictures. Lynne I have moved to my family s farm near Hartington, Nebraska. Lynne s health dictated a change; change we did! We are blessed a beautiful country setting wonderful home. Lynne retired from his career as a semi truck driver at Roberts/Hil Dairy in Omaha. He is now driving part-time for a local farmer. Due to less hours of work getting the chance to sleep at night (instead of driving at night) his health has improved tremendously. We are very grateful to our family for their help (in so many ways) during this transition. We are settling in have enjoyed the summer autumn in the country; but here comes winter. If you believe (like I do) that snow is more of a winter indicator than the calendar, then you probably believe winter is here. Lynne I have the use of two tractors for country living. This gift comes as a major blessing from our son, Jim his family. Nothing pushes snow like a tractor when we need to clear the lane. I enjoy meeting new people as I exp my show into the Hartington area. My show calendar for 2016 will include exciting new venues as well as returning to previous venues visiting good friends. The future looks busy bright. You are invited to take a look at my updated website. My son, Joe, works hard to keep the site current. The website, reflects an added element to my live program. I call this new show: History, Hats, the Music. What a fun presentation! Last month I pitched one of my new songs to a movie producer. He said he really liked the song! Patience will be necessary as the producer also said that the film is still in the early stages so it will be a while before music decisions are made. I m excited that he liked the song. Thank you for your interest. I ll see you soon along the trail. Sincerely, Teri

Giddy Up Catch Up (Teri) July 10, 2013 Hi Family Friends, Yes, that is me on the stage of the beautiful Davies Amphitheater stage in Glenwood, Iowa. The evening was perfect a soft breeze cooling the 85 degree temperature. As you can see, it was a colorful red, white, & blue July 6th show. Music included many of the oldies. The audience sang along as we paid tribute to the wonderful artist of the past, (I also put a few of my songs in the line-up). Of course, the show would not have been complete out patriot songs. What fun! In the April newsletter of Giddy Up Catch Up, I mentioned that Marci I were headed to Lynch, Nebraska for a show. Trail riders rode to Horse Thief Canyon, south of town. Mr. Al Brock graciously gave us (Marci, me, & our entourage) a guided tour by car. Marci drove the van through the narrow roads to the canyon. What a sight! It was a memorable trip through the rolling hills around Lynch. After their ride, trail riders gathered for an welcomed evening meal entertainment. Marci I always enjoy our time together, sharing our western stories music. I still wonder why any outlaw would venture into an area called Lynch! Thanks to Mr. Brock for inviting us to participate in this scenic event along Nebraska s Outlaw Trail. Up-coming public events: Teri - Wild Turkey Days, Spencer, NE Friday, October 11th at 7:00 p.m. Marci & Teri - Old West Days, Valentine NE Fri. & Sat. Oct. 11 & 12. We look forward to these events not only for the privilege of entertaining, but it also gives us a chance to reunite friends. Hope to see you there! As always, thank you for your support.
