Random Acts of WWWriting ... (new to our site!)
I was looking forward to a nice restful vacation with time to clear my mind and review my priorities in life. Little did I know that time to think would be waiting in doctors offices. After many hours of driving, we had finally arrived and my husband, bringing in the clothes from the trunk, fell and broke his elbow.

A West Texas History Lesson
Development Work on Harvey House is worth noting
Originally trains in the West did not offer meal service, leaving the passengers to fend for themselves at mealtimes. Fred Harvey established a series of restaurants where trains would stop, allowing passengers to get a good meal for a reasonable price in clean surroundings. Harvey Girls were the women who brought respectability to the work of being a waitress. They had to be of good moral character, have at least an eighth grade education, display good manners, agree not to marry while on contract, and be neat and articulate to work in his restaurants. The Harvey House in Slaton is being restored and appears in a recent brief of Railway Preservation News. A REAL HARVEY GIRL, Rose Farschon, made a cameo appearance during their recent Open House held during the All Class Reunion. Take a look. Click here for more>>
