I highly recommend both the brisket at Murray's BBQ and the malts and milkshakes at the old fashioned soda counter in Miller's Pharamacy in Cooper.
FatBoy's ribs are legendary.
I think Miller's Pharmacy just closed - but I'll for sure be heading to FatBoys!

That looks nice! Is that a storm cellar is see out in the field? You will be glad of that, be sure to stock it with lanterns, we had a flouresent one and it put out a lot of light. And water and snacks, a board game or something to do while you sit in a hole praying a tornado doesn't squat on your home. I sound real cheerful, huh? :lol: Actually I am jealous, wish I had one!
It is a storm shelter. It's only 6x6 and right now it has some water in it (somebody left the top open). Our hope is to expand it and use it both as a root cellar / food storage as well as a shelter. Tornados - woo. Not sure I'm ready for those, but of course we have earthquakes here and we don't get an advance warning, so I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. Tornado season starts in March right?

That is a shame. been about 18 months since I was in there--the older lady fixing the shakes looked pretty frail then but she still had the gift of gab for sure.

I'm near Sulphur Springs, only way out in the country. 'Bout 3 miles, as the crow flies, from Pickton.

We got almost 5 inches in the past 2 days, a total of over 18" for the year, so far. But, our 5" is probably not even half of what y'all got down your way, @frustratedearthmother! :ep our news is saying anywhere between 16-20" in the Houston area. How much did you get?
I just looked at a map Devon! You're only about 30 minutes from me!
