I saw these canoes sitting on the shore at Caddo Lake State Park. It seemed a little unusual because there was absolutely no one around. I’m guessing these are the ones the state park rents out to visitors. Of course, I couldn’t resist taking a quick photo. Caddo Lake is located on the Texas and … Continue reading
This old building sits on a Texas farm to market road near Lake Ray Roberts. From looking at the fallen glass doors, I think it’s possible that it might have been a store at some point. It was hidden among the trees; so I almost didn’t see it. Old buildings fascinate me – I’d … Continue reading
Buying or making a new ornament for the Christmas tree every year is one of my favorite family traditions. The tradition started the year we got married when one of my close friends gave us an ornament for our tree. It was just a little wooden ornament attached to a present; but it represented our new … Continue reading

You can see the color version in my post “Old Pickup“. For this week’s Monochrome Madness challenge, I … Continue reading
I spent months drooling over the US map license plate wall art that has been showing up in decor magazines and even on television shows. I thought it would go perfect in our grands’ travel themed room in our new home. The problem was the cost. The price for ones made from actual license plates … Continue reading
Thanks Regie Hamm for your wise words. I’ve been heartbroken by the reactions of so many people during this election. Is this the image we want to portray of America (from either side). Let’s stand next to each other as Americans and bring our country back together. Thanks Regie for your post. I’m reblogging this … Continue reading
We took a detour on the way home a few weeks ago. We turned off of US Highway 287 onto US Route 79 and finally traveled on Texas State Highway 70. Much of the scenery was typical for the this part of Texas — small towns, flat plains, and mesquite bushes; but we did enjoy seeing … Continue reading
