Crockett, Texas "Paradise in the Pines"

March 08, 2018

Crockett is about 40 miles from where we are staying at our current volunteer job with VCB. We had gone there once to pick up a prescription and get a few groceries but didn't venture down to the actual town. I always have to look up the history of the town or what it’s known for or how it got it’s name….and of course things to do and see there. Here is what I found: The town was named after David Crockett who reportedly had camped nearby on his way to the Alamo; the site was very near the Old San Antonio Road. A family from Tennessee donated the land for the town and named it after Crockett , whom they had previously known. We, also pass through Groveton, on our way to Crockett to get groceries. A week or two ago, on our way to Crockett, we passed a field where they had some guys in civil war uniforms. We didn’t know what was going on till we got home and I Googled it….and found out they were enacting the battle of blackjack...

It's a God Thing, for sure

We couldn't go do what we wanted if we didn't sell the house but on the other hand, I LOVED my home. So, one day, I told her "I am so frustrated, with the back and forth, back and forth trying to decide whether to do it or not, I guess someone is just going to have to knock on my door and ask if we want to sell the house and I'll know it's from God" Well, not even 20 minutes later, the doorbell rang...

Some random photos while driving to Yuma again!!

July 14, 2017

Now that I was able to get my photos uploaded, I decided to just post a bunch that I took when we were making our way back to Yuma, AZ on July 2-3. We saw signs along the highway about the Largest Wind chimes and we needed to take a break, anyway, so we pulled into this adorable town called Casey, IL. They had the prettiest light poles along the streets into town. Cute buildings, too! We found the largest wind chimes. We got out and across the street, was the largest rocking chair. You can see how big it is by our truck that is parked across the street. It is HUGE. Then, we went in search of the largest Mailbox and you could walk up steps to stand inside, but we opted not to do that. Across the street was the largest Pencil. And, just up the street was the largest bird cage. A kind lady told us to get inside and she'd take our photo together. Somewhere along the way, in ...
