A beautiful girl...a beautiful performance

Morgan's first Choir performance of the year. Ed Irons has a girls' and boys' choir groups all of which are separated by experience going as far as the Varsity level. This is her first year along with the other young woman she is singing with. Morgan did great and like her name she shown "bright!"  I am so proud of her :)

Little Treasures

We have discovered much in our short time here in Lubbock. Something tells me we have only begun to open the box of many treasures this town holds. A few blocks from the house we stumbled upon this memorial to local fallen Soldiers. Every brick holds a Soldiers name, branch served, sevice dates and town where each young man came from. It is amazing! A bit breathtaking as well!

 

Another little gem we have found a few blocks from the house. Memorial to Commander McCool. He was a Lubbock boy who became an Astronaut and was tragically killed the Columbia Shuttle disaster.

That is all she wrote for now. More to come soon...

Girls Day Out

McKenzie Park in Lubbock is the place to go to hike and fish; mostly just to get away from it all I guess. My friend Niki and I started out on the only trail head we could find and just started walking. I thought I would share with everyone some of the sights I experienced during our journey through the wilds of  Lubbock.We came across a hole that I imagine belonged to a tartantula, wicked trees, cacti and unidentified gord-like objects. A most pleasant spotted ground squirrel and the not so pleasant and apparently annoyed Praire Dogs. Neither of us had ever seen so many Praire Dogs in our lifetimes. As we continue to walk through the open field very aware of the surrounding vermin hositlity my friend calmly states "I'm begining to fear for our safety". I laugh it off and reply "remember they are more afraid of us, then we are of them". Then she adds, "yes, but there is power in numbers!" Enough said, one cannot argue with that and we walked briskfully through Verminville. Near the Park is this wonderful place with a large variety of windmills. I haven't figured out why I have such an infinity for them but I find them facsinating and for now it is all I need. I plan on visiting McKenzie Park often, next visit I will bring Morgan and maybe be so brave as to invite the canine.
