Happy New Years from everyone at Rudy Mikeska's Bar-B-Q Inc. !!

2003 was a very interesting year for me personally. Most of which I cannot remember..... My illness taught me how fragile life really is. I could not have endured 2003 without the help of my family and my faithful staff at Rudy Mikeska's, Mustang Creek Golf Course, the City of Taylor and the Taylor Fire and Volunteer Fire Departments..

Mikeska's Online Bar-B-Q Catalogue is Open for Business

I have been behind on my updates since my illness and personal tragedies.
I will continue my update with some of our past events and celebrations in the very near future. This time, however, I want to celebrate my good fortune by showing you my best friend..... my reason for healing.... and my reason for living.... my son Timothy.

Tim Mikeska finally got to meet some of his other cousins in the Mikeska Family. On the left is John Mikeska from Beaumont Texas and in the middle is the famous Dr. Jan Mikeska from Prague Czech Republic. Dr. Mikeska has done extensive research of the Mikeska Family in Europe and in the United States. He showed Tim the village of Zadverice where his grandparents lived before immigrating to America.

 

Thanks to all of our great friends......
