Eye of the Tiger

A few non basketball pictures at the complex during the Lady Tiger vs. Red Oak Lady Hawks basketball game. The Lady Tigers rally fall just short. I will have basketball pictures this afternoon.

Dog Days of Summer

I really need to pay more attention to my surroundings. I remember these types of poles when I was a kid. They had the spikes in the sides so the workers could climb them. Now all the trucks have buckets or long ladders. I wonder how many of these kind of poles are left?





We went and saw The Collector on Saturday night. Not my type of movie.

The past two Sunday editions of the Terrell Tribune have contained coupons that more than covered the cost of the newspaper. Last week was a coupon for Shipley's Donuts, this week it was Denny's. If you don't read the Tribune try picking up a copy next Sunday and see whats new and what coupons you can use. If you haven't read it in a while, I am sure you will notice a difference. The cost is still only 50 cents.

The Dallas Morning News used to always advertise coupons in their Sunday paper that had a total value over $100 sometimes over $200. I would look at them each week and found nothing that would save me any money, or at least cover the cost of the paper. Now the cost of a Sunday DMN is $3.00. I quit buying the DMN a long time ago.

I hope to have news soon about another photo event in Terrell.

It's August, that means is my birthday month. I accept cash, money order, western union, pay pal......I am going to be 29....unless you want to pay me a dollar for every year, then I am closer to 100.

Do we have a problem here?

Maybe not paying attention or just can't read. We already know they can not spell, unless Whirlpool also makes refriderators. Two signs on this pole, and I saw two other poles with the same sign posted. How much of a fine would that be?

City code enforcers battle street spam

Officials are especially alarmed by signs posted on wooden utility poles, which breaks state law versus a local ordinance.



OK, everyone go back to having a great Friday.

County clean up

Prior to the storms Saturday evening, Kaufman County had a county wide clean up. County residents could take trash to the dump without having to pay for a permit. Here is Brian and a County employee unloading some trash before the bad weather rolled in.



The storm Saturday night created a lot more debris, mainly trees and fence panels. They City of Terrell has put out an announcement about the storm cleanup. The City also has a scheduled clean up date set for May 16th. This one for City residents only.

Be sure to keep checking the Tribune and Herald links on the right for the latest news for Terrell and Kaufman. There may be an announcement today coming from Kaufman ISD.

Terrell Tribune

A week or so ago I was looking back over my Tiger baseball pictures from last year and I came across this post from one year ago today. Our little small town newspaper may have taken its lumps over the last year, but it survived. Last month Michael Gresham was named the new editor and publisher of the Tribune. Michael blogs at Obstructed View and is off to a great start at the Tribune. He has a great team in place and community expectations are high.



On a related note, today is the community wide clean up for Kaufman County. While cleaning out the garage yesterday I found a Tribune from January 14, 2003. I really need to clean it more often.

The flu, bad weather and morning visitor

Seems like there has been a dark cloud hanging over us all week. The UIL has suspended all statewide interscholastic competition until May 11. That includes Fridays scheduled home baseball game and the softball and baseball playoffs. I don't think they have finalized the plans on when games can resume, the situation seems to be constantly changing. The Terrell Tribune has promised local reaction in today's paper.

We also have been getting a lot of rain, with more on the way. Flooding has happened in some areas of the Dallas/Ft.Worth area, but I don't think anything in the Terrell area. We got a steady rain last night, nothing bad. In August we will be asking for rain.

This was taken on the way home from work yesterday just as the storms were rolling in. No, that is not my driveway....I wish.



I also had a morning visitor today as I was about to step into the shower. My cats liked it, but I just wanted it gone. I am glad I was taking a picture of him and he wasnt taking a picture of me trying to get rid of it. I was able to get him and put him out on the porch.

Jubilee wrapup

I have a few more shots from the Jubilee I want to share.

This is Cilla and Crispy. Check out her blog and her business websites, Daimilus and Kennel Saint Cox


I think this guy was with the Cowboy Church. Would that make him a space cowboy?


With mud like this...


....you may need something like this to get around.


The Tribune posted the winners for all Barbecue divisions.
Be sure to visit and check out their slide show of the winners.

Out of town trip

We had to take a trip out of town earlier this month. Our guests made sure we had the best room in town.


Unrelated to my picture, is a story by Tricia over at the Terrell Tribune. I am sure every community has at someone going to D.C. this week for the inauguration of Barack Obama. Tricia has a wonderful story about two sisters who are making the trip. I can imagine how exciting it will be for everyone there to see it live, even from a distance. Even with the crowds, it's a trip I would make if I could.

September 7,2008

Yesterdays Terrell Tribune. Oops. Just the date was wrong.

Update on the eyes. Very red and irritated, but I can see 20/20. I have another follow up today. I think the irritation is from not being able to wash or rub them. The drops I am using like to clump up on the eye lashes.

Terrell's daily newspaper

Terrell is located about 30 miles east of Dallas and it’s the largest town in Kaufman County. The North Central Texas Council of Governments estimates the January 1, 2007 population of Terrell as 15,750. One of the nice things about living in Terrell is we have our own daily newspaper, The Terrell Tribune. They have a print version and an online version. Not bad for a small town. I usually check out the main stories online, then purchase the paper on the way home from work. Do you live in a small town with a daily newspaper? Be sure to check out the link on the sidebar. The sports editor for the Tribune has a blog that was voted 2007's Best Blog by Texas Associated Press Managing Editors. He has his pick for the NBA championship posted now.
