There are billboards on the roads of Dallas town advertising the current exhibit of Modern Masters at the Kimbell Art Museum in Fort Worth.  I had mentioned to Ever-Lovin’ that I would like to go.  When dear lifelong friend Jorene invited me to join her for a morning at the museum, I jumped at the […]

Had heard about the Stephenville Museum.  Aunt Lois would sell lye soap during their Pioneer Days each year.  BUT I had never actually been to the museum.  It was a treat.

Kennedy.  Often we mentioned wanting to visit the museum, but perhaps we were a little hesitant to go to an infamous place – […]
