Old City Hall at night

Back in July, I posted a picture of the old City Hall. Here is another view of the same building taken at night.

I hate spiders

I found this yesterday while out picking up pecans. They are around every year. I am told they are good spiders, that they eat a lot of bugs. All I know is they are big, the web is think and they are creepy.

There is a second picture on my other site.

Time for pecan picking

Back in September I posted a picture of one of our pecan trees and I mentioned that it looked like a great year. It has been so far. Today is a windy day and I am headed out to pick up todays haul. You can hear them hitting the ground.

I created a second blog page to post pictures that don't make it to the this site. I have already posted a few pictures that were stored on my computer. I posted my attempt to take pictures of hummingbirds, but no one can take them like Old Man Lincoln. I also created a message board in hopes of connecting with people who have an interest in Terrell. Not sure how the message board will turn out, we will have to wait and see.

Sunset driving home from work

With the change in time, the sun sets on the way home from work. I got this one yesterday just outside of Terrell.

Midland Railroad #993 El Paso Rail Car

The following is taken directly from the Terrell Chamber of Commerce website.

The private car of E.H.R. “Ned” Green, President of the Midland Railroad, is on display in Ben Gill Park.

Green was the son of the notorious “Witch of Wall Street” Hetty Green, a gilded age multi-millionaire. He was a prominent citizen of Terrell and served as state Republican Party Chairman in 1896. Green took Texas’ first gasoline-powered motorcar trip in 1899.

The collection in the rail car commemorates the rail company, once headquartered in Terrell, and its colorful president.

The rail car is usually open during the Terrell Heritage Festival in April. The car is covered to protect it against the elements and extend its life.

Birds everywhere

Its that time of year. Birds are everywhere. The are on top of buildings, power lines, trees, any open space.

Blondie and Bam Bam

Here are two of my dogs, Blondie on the left and Bam Bam on the right. They are sitting there waiting for me to say COME HERE, then its on.

Archway

Here is a beautiful archway in Terrell. Not sure anyone would be able to walk under it though.

Terrells newest coffee shop

Koffee Kake, Terrells newest coffee shop has opened on North Rockwall. Looks like a nice relaxing spot.

Putt Putt anyone?

CLOSED


Anyone remember playing miniature golf as a kid? Anyone still play? Terrell has Fun City Golf & Games. It looks fun and not very expensive.

Cement mixers lined up ready for work on Monday morning

Texas Lottery

In Texas we have a State lottery. You can find stores with the neon light in the window like the one below. I love playing the lottery, specifically scratch off tickets. Does anyone else have a Government sponsored lottery? Has anyone won anything big?

November 1st progress on Moore Ave.

In August I posted pictures of a building on Moore Ave. that was under renovation. Here is the same building today. Its starting to look real nice. I can't wait to see what its going to look like when finished.

Summer house

My Halloween pictures didnt turn out very good. So, I thought I would share a picture of my summer home.



Ok, not really. This is a house just north of Rockwall, Texas.

Last night I posted part of a picture I took of a neighbors porch. Here is the full view, and a close up of the butler and piano player. I love looking at this porch. They even have gargoyles on the outside of the steps.

Halloween tease

I know I have already posted today, but I want to put this small pic out there. Its a small part of tomorrows picture.

Bells water tower

We took a road trip to Durant and traveled through a small town called Bells, Texas. I like old water towers so I took this picture. The tower isn't leaning, its me.

Hi Way 80 sale

I forgot that last weekend was the Hi Way 80 sale. Its a big sale on the side of the road from Mesquite, TX to Monroe, LA. Terrell had vendors set up in a parking lot right next to the highway. By the time I remember all that was left was the sign. Hi Way 80 is Moore Ave through Terrell.

Decker

I posted a pic just a few weeks ago of my cats sitting at the window. Decker, the orange cat has gotten sick. The vet thinks its cancer. He has gone from 13 pounds when he went to the vet for his shots in June to 9 pounds last weekend when we took him back to the vet. He hasn't ate anything for two weeks. We made the decision yesterday, that hes going back to the vet today to more then likely be put to sleep. We don't know what else to do. Here are a few of the pics of him that I had on my computer and a few we have taken in the last few days. I don't want to bore ya, but I am selfish, I want to be able to remember my kitty.



Goodbye Decker

Making tracks out of town
