The Town Store and Meeting Place
We were going to Hondo today to make our "Wally World" run and saw a sign about the town of Yancey, Texas. We've never been there and thought it might be an interesting Texas town to see. It's only fifteen miles from Hondo so it wasn't that far out of our way.
The country side along the way is totally different from what we've become accustomed to, it's flat and mostly farming country. It was a change to see large fields of corn and cotton growing.
The town of Yancey has a store, post office and church and a population of about two hundred, maybe give or take a few. The lady running the store told me we should be back tomorrow morning. Each day for a little over fifty years some of the older men of town meet each morning for coffee. They refer to themselves as the "Board of Directors" of the town. They discuss town business, if they can find any, swap stories, and solve all the world's troubles. But mostly they just drink coffee.

An Interesting Building Enroute to Hondo
Our good friends, Suzie and Henry came by and gave Jerry a bouquet of flowers to cheer her up. They are the nicest people you can imagine.
