This is the post box that kikigracies grandfather got when the post office first opened.

The only thing that comes to mind about this lumber company is that they have ALOT of cats. At least that means they don’t have mice… do mice eat wood?

I took the back road home one day… it comes out just north of our house. I love these roads. It is getting so crowded around the panhandle but you get on one of these 2 lane roads and it is so peaceful.

Taking pictures of cottenseed oil. This is alot more fun than it might sound

This little town looks like Stars Hollow to me…I didn’t really get a good picture of it though.

Grain elevators seem like they are in almost every small town in the Texas panhandle…at least, every small town on the railroad line. This is in White Deer.

I had a surprise birthday dinner for W. on Monday night. We went back to Boot Hill…the restaurant we went to about a month ago. The girl with the bandana on her head is the chef, Rory(she was on a food network reality show this summer-don’t know what it was called.)The girl is a good friend of ours and the other guy is W.’s cousin. We had the best time!

everything is bigger in Texas. I want to enter something from my garden in the fair next year! I would love to have prize winning jalepeno peppers. I don’t think I could compete with the tomatoes but I enjoy the peppers. This is Wrus with his boss/friend and a friend/ collegue and some huge pumpkins/gourds(I don’t really know what these are.)

W. riding the mechanical bull at the Tri-State Fair. The Fair is in September every year but last year was the first time I had ever been. I love the fair now…it is cheesy and crowded but I love the retroness of it.

Elie Wiesel was the convocation speaker at a local university. This was taken that evening when he had a Q&A at a more formal event. We were all so giddy to hear him speak…he didn’t disappoint.
