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.
