Vintage photographs of Andrews, Texas – my hometown. Mr. Longley’s Barber Shop. This is how I remember Andrews. (Sweet Mother of Pearl! I have been looking for this photograph for years. And tonight I found it. I just had to show it to you. This photograph was once published in the Dallas Morning News showcasing […]
Remember, I invited you to go to the First Baptist Church of Richardson’s Christmas presentation of Carols – The Sights and Sounds of Christmas.
