I grew up in the country, loved it. Of course I left there for college and really don't get back much. Recently I had the chance to come home and watch some Spurs games with
Darren. Well it seems someone pimped out my childhood and like they say...you can never go home again.
As I was driving home all I can see are the roofs of homes where trees used to live. Just AWESOME! What a great idea, strip the land of all the trees and pile houses on top of each other and plant some twigs. How could anyone say " I have had enough of the city, I think I will move out to the country then I will move into a neighborhood in so crowded I can't breathe.
I know most everyone lives in big cities and deal with this alot. I just wasn't ready to see this happen so fast to my home.
After I got past the shock of looking at all of this crap going up I thought I had better shot pics that remind me of home.
Like my kids, I spent much of my childhood outside. Many days spent on the river or at the lake.
In Texas it gets hot so everyone heads to the river. Josh explores a damn north of San Antonio.
Great dog, would run after anything I threw including a rock I tossed into the river. He found it.
The kind of driveway I was used to growing up.
Great store, a lot of beer has been consumed there. People from Texas are fanatics about the state and the flag. Thank goodness it is easy to paint.
A friend of mine has a small building behind his house he calls the 'Man Barn' Basically it is a place to tap a keg of beer and bar-b-que. I just liked the decor.
Thats my trip down memory lane. Thanks for looking.
