One thing that amazed me was that it can take them up to eight minutes to stop. Thats a long time, especially if you are "in the way"! No wonder they are able to sneak up on you.<br />TracyTracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00970200716143318934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-57628209118965698592013-03-07T07:06:20.575-05:002013-03-07T07:06:20.575-05:00Being near/on the water is always a treat.

But I spent a great deal of my adult life time driving that very road and over that very bridge bi-weekly, from Texas City to Sam Rayburn Lake! They could probably blind-fold me on Hwy 146 anywhere, and I'd still find my way around. LOL The only sadness I feel with those photos are of something missing... all the pump-jacks that were removed from the water before they began construction of the new bridge. I hope the ladies made sure you were able to enjoy some great bar-b-que and seafood while you were there!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12121820035844661657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-82396362022273818262013-03-06T20:12:21.676-05:002013-03-06T20:12:21.676-05:002017 and we will do it! 2017 and we will do it!

You can tell I'm a proud transplanted Texan, born in Beaumont, TX. My husband even has a relative's name on the San Jacinto monument!

I HAVE to tell you this ...GO, BONNIE , GO!!!~!~ :)<br /><br />I HAVE to tell you this true story, as this makes me think of it:<br /><br />My last trip home to Louisiana, I went to the cemetery. There was a new grave and a huge, black headstone. As I walked over, I noticed a suitcase, of all things, engraved on it. Well, we've ALL seen crosses, lilies, etc. BUT, a suitcase??!!? As I read, it was a CENTURIAN. She must have been SOME GAL!!!~ I wish I'd of known her. <br />It simply said, above the suitcase, <br />"GO, GRANNY, GO!!!!~"<br /><br />:)Sandra Hendersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12369992819437905498noreply@blogger.com
