Shelly > February 28, 2009 Americana This morning our town held its annual FFA parade, and so I'm dedicating this photo to my friend Cheryl who called at the last minute and said . . . "Let's go. I'm coming to get you in 15 minutes." This little boy was driving a big ol' John Deere tractor right into downtown. How very exciting for him! I added a little retro-toning to this shot, and it could have been taken anywhere any time in the last fifty or sixty years.

Shelly > October 31, 2008 Dickey Box Nice Cars Back in the old hometown last week, I just had to run out and grab a few images of this classic old car dealership. I don't know that too many people in Midland, TX think of this as a landmark, but to me it's a treasure that should be preserved. Cool structure, huh? Back in the 1970's the dealership had a sign that said "Dickey Box Nice Cars," but someone must have decided to upgrade the venture to "Motor Company." One of my high school friends had a stepfather who actually worked here as a salesman. We never knew when my friend would show up driving some new cute vehicle with dealer tags. She might have it for a day or two or maybe for a couple of weeks before she would give it back. Fun times -- we'd take that car to "Love's Burger Train" (but we all just called it Loves) for a French Vanilla Cherry Lemon Lime Sprite before driving by all the cute boys' houses. Last time I looked, Loves had turned into a beauty shop. Dickey must have sold all of his cars after he changed his sign. And the Robert E. Lee High School Class of '78 did not have a 30 year reunion this year . . . sigh.
