Adi would much rather be chasing that squirrel she sees but she will stop to post for her picture.

I can remember when this one came out. Does that date me? Just a little? I played it a lot on my car radio? (hint link click here)

CUT AND SHOOT, TEXAS 77306 -- A guided picture tour

[click pictures for full screen]
[click here for very large size]
.
Me and my Mustang; we went for a ride last night before church. There isn't anything very exciting in Cut And Shoot, mainly I just wanted to you to know it's there.
.
Cut And Shoot is located east of Conroe, Texas, about 40 miles north of Houston. It stretches as a wide place in the road for approximately six miles with car lots, car repair places, gas stations, resale places and a few others
.
There isn't even a good restaurant out there! The most exciting place is the (motorcycle) chopper place. I haven't visited there.
.
I had promised readers that I would put some Cut and Shoot city pictures on today, so here goes.

Very obvious, this is the nice volunteer fire station.

I stayed on Texas Highway 105 but I was able to get all the public buildings.

.

There are little hills and acreages north, back behind these buildings. My friend lives on about eight acres, he even has a small saw mill. .

The post office is fast. I mailed a Christmas card here one evening and the day after it was in my sister's mail box in Iowa. It's quaint inside too, with all those glass windowed brass mail boxes.

None of the businesses are in skyscraper buildings here!

I didn't go over to Grangerland (Texas). Instead I hurried those two miles on to Conroe, they were having fried catfish and hush puppies for supper at the First Baptist Church.

Grangerland is located south of Conroe, Texas, down the road about ten miles. It has a school and more small businesses, nothing very new there either.

.

Read about these towns the Handbook of Texas (link to Cut And Shoot article), the city's (C&S) Web page (link), or on the Wikipedia article (link) or Google it yourself from "Results 1 - 10 of about 1,960,000 for cut and shoot, texas. (0.13 seconds)."

The Cut-N-Shoot H.O.G. Chapter #5013 (link) is one of the largest in the nation. They do a lot of charitable work, like Christmas Toys For Kids runs, food drives, etc.

If I had a Harley Hog I would ride with them, that's for sure.

Welcome to Richmond, Texas

[click on picture for a full screen view]

[click here for a glorious large view of the signs]

Note: this blog finally hit the 1000 mark on my SiteMeter today


These are about half of the signs we encountered on Texas Highway 36, nearing Richmond (link) and Rosenberg (link), Texas.

There are a couple of things wrong with taking a ride this way. First, everything is flat as a pancake around. There isn't a hill for over 80 miles, and that is north.

Second, we could not admire the scenery for the trees signs. These were only half of the signs but the light turned green before we could take the picture so we got too close to get the other half.

Take a good look? One day this intersection ...

Do you think I ought to receive an advertising payment for getting this glorious intersection on the World Wide Web?

"God Loves You"


"God Loves You"

In the quiet, love is reaching.
It’s yours to hold,
Be still and know that
Even when you’re lost and lonely,
And hope is gone, you’re not alone.

Far beyond the understanding,
There’s a hand that leads,
If you believe.

Through the darkness, see the light.
Remember God loves you.

The road ahead is long and winding.
With eyes of faith, you’ll find the way, yeah.
And when the journey leaves you weary,
You can rest in the comfort of heaven’s arms -
Sweet loving arms.

And peace will follow.
Peace be with you always,
As you go.
For now you know that...

Through the darkness, there’s a light.
Remember God loves you.

When you open up your heart,
His love will meet you where you are.
He will always be a part of everything you do.
He is here to set you free,
And give you all the strength you need
To carry on, to carry on.

Through the darkness, see the light.
Remember God loves you. (remember, remember)
Remember God loves you.
