Cups for Sale

I saw these cups in a supermarket area today and thought they were so, so, so pretty.  I might have bought some, but I have some mugs already, I never have company and I'm in the process of clearing my house out of anything I don't use regularly.  So, after showing them to my friends, I quickly put them back on the shelf.

Cup Decor Behind the Counter

These decorated cups are on display behind the counter at my fave coffee shop in downtown Abilene, Texas.  Were they decorated by customers or workers?  One of these days I'll ask.

Coffee Shop Decor

My fave coffee shop has remodeled a little and they placed this plant in the corner with the frame in front of it.  What a cute idea.

Buildings on an old Horse Farm

These are some horse buildings on a horse farm that is no longer in business in upstate NY.

The farm is being maintained as a historic site so the buildings are in good condition.

West Texas Rodeo

People waiting for the rodeo to begin in Abilene, Texas.  I love taking photos of people when they aren't aware of what I'm doing.

Friends and Family

Several years ago I was at a going away party for a couple who was moving away and we organized this fun photo of the folks who were there to say goodbye. 

I changed it to bw because I think it looks better than the color version. 

This is one of my favorite photos.

Car Dealership

This vacant/abandoned car dealership is located on a corner in Colorado City, Texas.  It looks exactly like it did 7 years ago when I first saw it.

Another Abandoned Home

I was driving down a road I've never been on before and came across this abandoned home.  There are so many of them in this area.  The roof is completely caved in but I couldn't get any closer because of the fence around the property.  

I wonder who pays the taxes, or if there are any taxes that have to be paid.

This looks like it might have been a nice home once upon a time.

Abandoned Church or Hotel

This abandoned blue building is located at the end of a road in Gordon, TX. The town is basically an intersection but there are a lot of homes in the area. Some of the homes are old and abandoned and some are newer and up-to-date.  The population in 2020 was 451.

There was no written documentation about what this structure might have been once upon a time, but the marquee in the front gives it the feeling it might have been a church or a meeting place of some sort.  It also reminds me of a small apartment building.

Abandoned Tool Shed

I drove through one of the alleyways in downtown Abilene today and saw this abandoned tool shed in the back yard of a house which was not in very good shape itself.
