Mark your calendar for Thursday, June 16, and call us today to reserve your spot for the upcoming tour of the Gene Howe Wildlife Management Area. Kelly Bashaw, GHWMA wildlife biologist, will take us on a tour and provide insight to some of the plants, animals, and other critters found on this unique piece of land in Hemphill County.

The Amarillo Museum of Art this week unveiled a new exhibition, titled “Fantastic Visions: Surreal and Constructed Images,” which will be on display now through Sept. 4.

VERNE KNOWS ME too well. For the first time in our lives, my husband, Peter, and I live in a building with a front desk.

My basil seed is making an appearance, and basil plants I put in are ready to begin harvesting. I found this winning recipe at www.cookingclassy.com. It is ready in just 25 minutes using thin pieces of flank steak, sautéed vegetables, and a delicious sauce. Enjoy!

Some of the stories I come across at the museum have me asking, “Is this for real? Did this happen here?” This photo of Sheriff Jones and Deputy Sheriff Oney, sitting in a 1933 Chevrolet Master Coupe with guns sticking out of the mounts of the bulletproof windshield looks like something from a Hollywood gangster movie from way back in the day, but in fact, this was right here in Hemphill County. This was one of at least two early police cars with bulletproof windows with mounts for rifles or machine guns for both the driver and passenger.

It’s that time of year again. No, I am not talking about bikini season.

My sister-in-law Patricia sent me is a link to an easy, tasty dessert. Kind of a pudding cake/cobbler type concoction. She has made it using fresh rhubarb and frozen, with good results and thinks lots of different fruits would work as well. Enjoy!
