Towns....

Do you ever drive threw a town and wonder about the history?

wonder how can their be so many churches
in a small town??? or why aren't there many churches
in this town?


see an old building and wonder who worked there?

what was sold or made there????

this is the Amtrack station in Admore Oklahoma...

how many people have traveled from that very spot?

where were they going? where were they coming back from?

I bet this had been a filling station at one time....

I can see Goober or Gomer Pyle filling up the gas tank...

washing the windshield....drinking a bottle of pop....

how long have these train tracks been here?

how many people have traveled them???

what products have been carried down those tracks...

I love the history of buildings...roads...towns...etc....

what surprising facts have you found out about a town

after you visited????

Ramblings from a Texas Gal....

Yesterday on Facebook a friend posted HOW WE MET...

and you put a comment on how you met this person...

I told my 17 year old niece that I had met her at the hospital...

she answered back...Wow...you are one of the 1st people I met

in my whole life....I thought that was the coolest answer ever...

This morning I visited the Lone Star Queen at http://www.howdyfromcowtown.com/ and her post was about
"Usedtocouldhave".....stop by and visit...you will really get a kick
out of her post... warning to all non-Texans....this is definately a
Texas word.....

The other day my daughter and I were talking about words and phrases
we use here in Texas that people not from here have a hard time
understanding.....

Pallet- that is when you get out all the quilts...blankets and pillows...
make you a pallet on the floor to sleep on....or watch movies...

Worsh cloth- now to refined folks that would be a wash cloth....

Worshiteria- that is a laundry mat....

Tickey- that means you feel kinda itchy....like you got sand in your shirt or something...

Britches- that would be pants or trousers

What words do you use...and your non-local friends look at you like you have 2 heads????

We are having warm front today....gonna hit 40....LOL...then down to the teens for the rest of the week....

It's a little Frosty around here....

Even my cowboy is cold....

frost on my windshield....

on the hood...

frozen dog water.....

chillie monkey grass...

even frost beads on the basketball.....


Hope you are all staying warm....

and cozy....during these artic blasts....

Now where is that Global Warming when you need it???

Al Gore???????

Greater Southwest Museum...the Military

I bet these boots have a story to tell....

this is a dog tag machine

they have a great tribute to the military...

soldiers from all wars....

when we were going in a family with a little

boy about 8 or 9 was coming in behind us...

as his parents were signing in...he said I will meet you

in the military section...I think he must be a regular

there....you could see the excitement as he was looking

at all the displays....a lot of history in a small building...

Saturday Picnic...

Welcome to our picnic spot at Lake Murray...

• Sing like no one is listening
• Love like this is my last day on earth

• Say Yes to things I have been afraid to try
• Laugh more
• Live more...be more adventurous
