Well guys, I wanted to give y'all another update on my Mom.
She's doin better since I've gotten here and hopefully things will continue to improve.
Today was my Dad's birthday and he would have been 99.
I ask Mom if she knew what today was and when I told her the date, she said "Daddy's birthday."
So she can still remember certain things very well.
I took my BIL out to the farm yesterday and let him look over everything. Had a very good time.
On our way back through Ralls, one of the little towns we grew up in outside Lubbock, I took a couple of pics.
They were of the Main street and the town square area.
Things haven't changed alot, maybe a little more deserted than 60+ years ago. I think that might have been rush hour. There are 3 parked cars visible in the pics but just our vehicle drivin through town.
But I wanted to give y'all a look at how things were where I grew up in Texas.
The brick streets say alot. Don't know when they were laid but they've held up for ALOT of years without need of repair. More than we can say for asphalt.
I'll try to post again in a couple days. I'll try to get a pic of the countryside to show the farmland and how FLAT the Texas plains are. You can see a lightbulb burnin for over 60 miles. REALLY !
Thanks for all the prayers and well wishes. They've worked wonders and are appreciated. Steve.

Great news, Steve. Glad you are getting to renew old memories. My home town of Neodesha, Ks had lots of brick streets also. They were SLICK in rain and snow! Tell your mom the whole stage is praying for y'all!

It is great to hear good news. I will keep praying for her and your family. There are many abandoned towns up here in northern Michigan but very few look as nice as the one in your picture.

Glad to hear that your mom is doing better Steve.🙏
Bricks and stones last a long time. There's still some stone roads in Europe that were built by the Romans.

Glad to hear your mom is doing better, I know its tough with your elderly parents when you’re not around. Just came back from Clovis Ca celebrating my Dad’s 102nd BD yesterday. He lives with my older sister so there is some family with him. Hope all works out well.

Steve—Happy to hear your mom is doing better. Nothing like a mother’s love! My mom came out of a coma for my sisters birthday.
That’s a lot of bricks! You grew up on the set of The Last Picture Show! I had an Army friend from Dodge City Kansas. We drove all night from Ft Sill Oklahoma. When the sun came up you could see his ranch in what looked like a development. It was so flat the ranches were 5 miles apart and they looked like they were close.
I’m praying for you and your mom.

Wow, is right. Do you know her name? What her last name use to be?


Sorry about the last name (first was Eve for what that's worth); don't know if I ever heard her last name. About all she told me about the family is that they lived on a farm, she had lots of brothers and sisters, and they were devout Catholics.
