Follow Up

The previous post here made mention of yesterday's storms in route to our areas.  Today, I can confirm my suspicions about the outcome.  Lives have been lost, properties destroyed, and many injured from the tornadoes that spawned last evening, with the passing fronts.  Today, people are digging through what's left of their lives.  Our prayers go out to the victim's of this disaster.

Skies

It's another overcast day here in North Texas and we are looking to get some rain out of this.  They say that it will be later on tonight, through tomorrow, with decent amounts in certain areas.  Texas always experiences a drought during the summer months, which causes the heat to be horrific.  It is our hope that this summer will be less intense and that the heat will not be as bad.

Parkland?

If you have visited Dallas, TX in the last year, then you could have noticed the new Parkland Hospital that being built?  I was born at the old Parkland that many of you don't even know about.  It was over on Maple Ave. at the corner of the Oak Lawn Ave. intersection.  The Parkland that many people refer to is the one on Harry Hines Blvd. that has been  around several decades.  It has plenty of history and even hosted dignitaries during the death of President Kennedy. 
Parking has become a hazard when trying to navigate the different lanes of traffic and get where you need to go.  A real mess has taken place during this new construction. I hope things calm down and become easier to experience, because of the different benefits this hospital has to offer.

Summer

It's May and soon the summer months will arrive, bringing the dreaded heat, storms, droughts and the hurricane season.  All of these factors affect Texas locations at some time or other.  We have found ourselves in all types of weather recently.  It gives us a scary feeling looking toward the coming summer months.  If the spring was this crazy then it's going to be a rough summer. 

Do You Remember?

How many of you remember the old "Stockton's" Mfg. Co. located in downtown Dallas, TX, back in the 60's & 70's?  How many of you visited it to buy the latest in ladies slacks and blouses?  I was just wondering?

All Green

 Finally it's green once agin.  I love springtime, when things start to emerge with new growth.  It's like a rebirth to me.
