Your roots are definitely firmly planted in TX. How the *heck* did you end up in FResno? LOL!!

I believe it when I see a maroon Weinie.

The world's largest spring fed swimming pool, with a 62,000 square foot surface (almost 1.5 acres) is Balmorhea State Park in the Big Bend Region.

Woo hoo! Been there, done that. Thanks for the great post!

[Dubya]

Good pix. Been there a few times. Also I

used to drill oil/gas wells in Jack County.

[Billie]

LOL! How cute your cowboy and the yellow rose! Perfect! (Like I'm surprised!) :)

[Billie]

Thank you. I will not let you down!

You never have - I wouldn't expect you to start now. :)

You and Valerie can have dueling Texas photos

Now that would be a showdown to see!!!

I've never been to Fannin County tho I have been to Jack County several times. Also Wise to County where my Mom's Dad was born. His parents were married in Parker County in 1886. That Greatgrandmother is buried in Wise County.


Parker County Courthouse in Weatherford, Texas.

I was in most of West and Central Texas drilling. Jack is a great place.

We seem to be forgetting something; that black black stuff which along with natural gas now puts food on my table...

While in Jack County, I visited several 'relatives' (second and third cousins)and had the opportunity to visit the ranch where my grandfather was raised. There I met a son of my Grandfather's step brother. Heard wonderful stories.

I still have an aunt and an Uncle in Texas. My Aunt lives in Pampa and my uncle lives in Amarillo.

Did you do any oil/gas drilling in Wheeler County?

[Dubya]

Looks like Ranger Texas.

Can you tell me what is the desert island meal for a Texan? I know small wars have been waged over such a topic, but will it be beef or pork, or maybe sumptin' with beans? ;-)

Hey!! Sounnds like you might be implying Texan's don't eat nuthin but bah-b-q. :)

I don't remember drilling there.

That's interesting, Amy, to visit where your greatgrandparents were buried. I'm not familiar with where Jack County is.
