Texas Style
July Fourth Celebration~ Who doesn’t love a Parade? And there’s nothing like the kind of celebration that gets repeated all over Small Town America every Fourth of July. There’s something about a Summer Holiday— think Watermelon, Hot Dogs, Beer, Popsicles and Hamburgers. Fireworks on a hot, sultry night, and a Parade that goes right down the Main Street of Town. Let traffic wait while sirens sound, horns blat and people line the Street in folding chairs and the beds of pick-up trucks.

On the Deck, festooned with rustic decor, ceramic bells, plants and pots, and gorgeous wreaths, you get a vista of the surrounding mountains that just can’t be had from town. Marcia has stocked the store not only with her own gorgeous floral wreaths, arrangements and creations, but absolutely the best selection of gift ideas I’ve seen anywhere in West Texas so far. You…
