On this day 14 years ago...
...the building materials for my hut arrived at a spot off the ranch road where I was camped.
Time has certainly gone by fast. I remember seeing the Betty Boop trailer on my annual trips to the chili cook-off and then seeing it or perhaps another one like it at an eating establishment that was painted all in pink.
I do not know why every time I try to read a New York Times article it tells me I have reached my limit of 3 articles when I seldom read any...perhaps the limit is 3 overall articles without a subscription?
I found you in 2008 when Ara did a blog about you. Happy 14th Anniversary and may you celebrate many more.
a day that will live in… there's a glow in the west Texas sky
ReplyDeletePenelope visited later… 4 years, all history now
A splendid, fascinating, and highly productive 14 years. Happy Anniversary!
ReplyDeleteps: remmij, Nice to see you again! Thanks for the NYT piece.
I thought it was longer than that. Oh well, I am old.
ReplyDeleteI remember when I read that Penelope Green article about you in NYTimes (2011), and started following you.

Where is Ara? I hope he is ok. I really enjoyed reading his Oasis of my Soul blog. It has been a long, long time since I've seen a post.
ReplyDeleteI have no idea where Ara is these days. He sold his property out here many years ago.
