A Sunday Drive

Back during our childhood, our parents would often load up my brother and me after Sunday morning church services for a leisurely drive around where we lived.  Even though we were seeing mostly familiar sights, it was still good to see them again, and this is why “A Sunday Drive” sounded about right for the name of a series revisiting familiar sites that are well worth seeing again and again.  The link below the image is to the site itself, and the image is linked to the post it was first included in here.

    1. Thanks for stopping by, my dear Whiteangel!!! Had very poor physical health not reduced us to practically being shut-ins, Arlynda and I would be out roaming around the countryside, too.

  2. that's kind of cruel leading of with a crafty blog on a day when I have to go to work. I'll be expecting you to call my boss and explain why I'm not there.

  3. Hi Jerry....Thank-you for the comment notice that one of my photos has been included in your 'Sunday Drive'. Your introduction brought back pleasant memories as one of the 'Sunday Drive Generation'. I grew up in a small West Texas town where 30 minutes was all it took to drive around town, but there were roads that led to other interesting places, and they were often the ones taken. Still one of my favorite ways to spend a Sunday afternoon.

    As for the photo you included and linked to CollectInTexas Gal, it is a page from my Mother's 1940's Scrapbook. She graduated from Exira High School in 1943 and the Class Photo was in her original scrapbook that had deteriorated with age and many years of looking back at the lives of those we now refer to as the 'Greatest Generation'. Her scrapbook and stories have been included in The 1940's US Census Project where I served as an Ambassador in the digitizing of US Records. I am pleased you have chosen it for a feature here...Thank-you. I have included the link to the story that goes with the photo you have included in your Sunday Drive. I hope your readers will enjoy a Sunday Drive to Texas with the one click link I have included in my signature.

    1. You are most welcome, and thanks for being so considerate, my dear Sue!!! Thank you also for publishing your follow-up piece. I called Amarillo home for a number of years, and you can read about some of the adventures I had there (and beyond) in the 13th crumb/chapter of The Crackerhead Chronicles.

    1. Thanks for stopping by again, my dear Sue!!! That was a very kind thing for you to do, and I greatly appreciate it. By the way, I was also raised to be a good Southern Baptist, and I hope you will not hold it against me, (LOL?)
