Riding in Cars with Dogs

Today was the annual vaccination day for my dogs, which is no easy task. I've got 3 springer spaniels, and they get so excited to travel anywhere - and even more so when they travel together. This is a photo of Bam Bam, the baby of the three...

No matter how long I walk them before taking them inside the vet's office, they always manage to pee from excitement when they get inside...

American National Bank

Today's photo is a reflection looking at the south side of Moore street in downtown Terrell, as shown off the mirrored American National Bank...

Midland Hydraulics

This old building is located in Terrell on North Rockwall Street, just north of downtown...

Happy Voting Day West Virginia

It's your right to vote, so go use it!

Bass Rutledge Drugs

Today's photo is of Bass Rutledge drugstore in downtown Terrell. This is one of the few original stores in downtown that is still in operation, and has been doing business in the same location for over 100 years.

The second photo here is a night shot that I took last year...

Happy Mom's Day

Happy Mother’s Day to my mom, Glenda… this is one of my favorite photos of her, taken at a small restaurant in St. Thomas U.S. Virgin Islands back in 1998. I had won the trip through work, and this photo was taken during a short shopping trip on our last morning there.

My mom is an accomplished sculptor and doll artist, and some samples of her work can be seen at her website link on the right side of the page…

And my, how times change... here is a photo of my mom with my older brother Greg. This one was taken back when she worked on the starship Enterprise....

My new kitten... Frosty

This is a photo of the kitten I'll be getting in a few weeks. I took the photo this past Monday, when he was just about 2 weeks old. He had only opened his eyes a few days before. When he was first born he was all white, but he seems to be getting a little more gray markings as he's getting older.

I'm anxious to get him home, and hoping that my older cat will be nice to him =) I'm thinking of naming him Frosty...

Buford Drugs

I've always loved this old drugstore sign in downtown Terrell. It's an old neon sign, but I've never seen it lit up since I've lived here....

Carnegie Library

Today's photo is a different angle of the Terrell Heritage Museum located in the old Carnegie Library on Frances street in downtown Terrell....

Cheap Gas in Terrell

Since my back started feeling better, I decided to get out and get some exercise yesterday by walking from my house to downtown Terrell… I live just a few blocks away, so I can walk down and back without getting too tired =)

I found these gas pumps at an old Texaco on Rockwall street, a block from downtown. It’s funny to think that kids earning their driver’s licenses right now will probably never use a pump like this. It would probably confuse them trying to find where to swipe their card also…

I’m not sure exactly when this station closed, but the ‘Regular’ grade gasoline was $1.439 a gallon and the ‘Premium’ was $1.609 a gallon. It’s a little difficult to see, but each pump has a sign on the side warning that the gasoline contains Lead… and a little less difficult to see would be my shadow portrait to the bottom left ;-)
