lubbock in my rearview mirror

Ennui and illness kept me from posting this week; however, a rearview mirror in the parking lot inspired me to look heavenward to catch up on images.

Graffiti artists have put their mark on the tower of the First Christian Church - at least they used gold paint.

mojito

At the Main Street Art Festival, you can watch the barista cut limes, pound fresh mint leaves and mix your very own mojito - just 10 coupons.

which room?

The TownePlace Marriott in Fort Worth looks just like the one in Hartford CT and the one in where ever it was. Life as a traveling adjunct instructor may be confusing at times.

WWII Vet

The World War II Veterans Honor Flight departs from Abilene. Daddy is joining 238 other veterans from West Texas for a flight to Washington DC to visit the World War II Memorial and other sites. A motorcycle honor guard of Viet Nam vets escorted the 10 tour buses to the Abilene Civic Center where a flag-waving crowd greeted the vets as they entered for dinner.

drought

The fountains and waterfalls in the Courtyard Plaza at the Lubbock Memorial Civic Center are dry. A delightful waterscape is now arid and in disarray.

boots

Today we visited the foundry at St. Eligius Studio at 2202 East Broadway and run by artist/sculptor Steve Teeters. Our objective was to view a bronze bound for the Lubbock cemetery. While there I found this miniature boot sculpture with its accompanying wax mold. Hart to believe it's only five inches tall!

happy birthday, stevie

From the family album:

It's hard to believe that my baby brother is in his fifties and soon to be a grandfather. A grandson would probably also enjoy the guns and horsie.
