The American Veteran's Traveling Tribute in Dumas, Texas

Wednesday, 23 September 2009

The past week has been nice. There was the bearable wind but not as windy as today. That really made it colder. But it didn't stop us from visiting The American Veteran's Travel Tribute that was held at the Dumas Museum ground (which was stated in the leaflet as Window on the Plains Mueum).

Look at the flags flying like mad - this is before the ceremony started.


This was after the ceremony. The wind is still there but somehow the flags are lying nicely now! Visitors looking at The Wall.


With the help of the computer, Mike and Mum was able to locate the name of a loved one who have died in the Vietnam war. Billy Joe Clayborn was killed on the 12 Marh 1968, at the age of 32.



Statistics of the various wars











Biggest Bowl of Salad I Have Ever Been Served

Tuesday, 22 September 2009

I was shocked when the waitress delivered my order - Chef's Salad. I was shocked because of the size. It was more than I can eat for a meal. And for the price that we paid ($5 something) I think is reasonable. I ate half and packed the other half home.

Bristow, Oklahoma

Lovely lake and park. I think if it isn't for the cold air and wind, it would be lovely to sit, walk, run, cycle, have a picnic there.




The Main Street of Bristow, I think.

It wasn't a flower park but it was too beautiful for me not to take pictures of them.

41st Annual Funday, Sunray

Saturday, 15 August 2009

What caught my attention most on this day were:

(1) The haircut. The young lad was standing in front of me, during the parade at the main street


(2) The raccoon. Roger had 2 of them since they were a few days old. They were reared for educational purpose and not as pets. They were displayed at his booth at the community park.


19 December 2009: Thanks, Elda, for allowing me to post these pictures that you took, on this day.

Big Bear Lake, California

I think this home park is lovely, my ideal place to get away for a weekend or a few days break in the summer, away from noise and pollution of the cities. Winter would be too cold for me. I understand it snows here.
