Come Cook with us March 6.
We're having a Fun Club COOKING PARTY at Supper Supers!
If you haven't been ... this is cool. You order ahead what you want to make. We show up together at the same time, put on our aprons, and begin cooking our meals we will take home for later. Supper Supers has gone before us, done the shopping, the chopping, and the preparation so it's as easy as 1,2,3. Plus, it's a lot more fun with others. Call Super Suppers at 794-2300 and tell them you want to be in our party on March 6. They will tell you what to do from there. They are located just west of Frankford on 82nd. Plan now to join us.

Each of these are hand dyed in 100% West Texas Dirt and are a work of art all their own. The premier shirts are Adult XL only. As we go, we will have other sizes.

A Pay it Forward story!
A true story submitted by one of us
I got stranded at the International Airport in Houston a year ago. What had started out as a one day trip, quickly dragged into two days. I was out of money, out of my diabetic medication, and had no family or friends to call for rescue. Stranded along with me was a Hispanic couple from Levelland whom I had never met until this incident. I was at yet another gate trying to get on the standby list and saw the Levelland gentleman approaching me with a big grin on his face. He happily explained that he and his wife had cashed in their tickets and had bought new tickets on Southwest Airlines and would be flying out in a couple of hours. He said they wanted me to come with them. I sighed heavily and explained to him that my tickets were not refundable and I would not be able to go with them. He said, "You don't understand. Your ticket has already been purchased on Southwest. We cannot leave you here alone with no money and no medication." I told him I could not accept the ticket since I had no means of repaying him. He said that repayment wasn't necessary. I burst into tears at their kindness and generosity. Of course, I managed to pay them back, but what a testament of West Texas kindness and generosity!!
