2:00 – Tour the White Deer Land Museum Remember the Pampa High School Class of ’63 Reunion?  On the program was listed the tour of the White Deer Land Museum.  “Might as well go”.  So we did, and were we surprised – amazed – and educated.  Even Ever-Lovin’ said he learned something about his hometown.

Had heard about the Stephenville Museum.  Aunt Lois would sell lye soap during their Pioneer Days each year.  BUT I had never actually been to the museum.  It was a treat. The old log cabins are most interesting, and we enjoyed our visit.  If you like old historical places, this is a good place to […]

Billboards do work.  That big 14 X 48 foot sign (I Googled- How big is a billboard? – Aren’t you impressed?) promoting the Chickasaw Cultural Center in Sulphur, Oklahoma got our attention.  I was so-o-o-o pleased when Ever-Lovin’ was interested in going to the center and suggested we visit it on our way home from […]

It is true.  There is a ghost town in Andrews County.  In reality, there is no town left – only ghost.  If one knows where to look, remnants of the town of Shafter Lake might be able to be seen. About four miles west of Andrews is Shafter Lake.  Yes, in this barren land there is […]
