Exploring Plainview Texas

Where Was I?

 

Do you know where I was today by this clue?

 

 

 

 

It was such a fun time! Look, my sweet and encouraging friend was there, too! 

 

 

Now, can you guess where I was? A beautiful owner and a beautifully fun shop!

 

 

Skatepark Plainview

 

What an exciting time to have Spohn Ranch here from California to put together our Skatepark Plainview. Nice people!

Today is the first time I have been by and gotten out to look at how things are going together at the 6th and Joliet Streets location. It was a very humbling few moments for me.

As I stood and reflected on that initial moment, several years ago, when a young 'boarder' & supporter came to me and asked if we could get this done as a community, I felt a sense of pride for Plainview's vision.

What a legacy the entire group that has been involved leaves our community.

So many have had a hand in this process and have worked together beautifully. Super excited!

 

 

 

Coming Along

 

 

The new laundry stop is coming along. Do you see the top of the forms that held the old Family Fun Park slides?

 

Flag Day

 

Long ago, in a faraway place, the American flag was a vision in the minds of our forefathers. It was created and raised to show the determination of its people. Today, as we celebrate Flag Day, I am honored to stand as a continuation of the vision of strong faith, country, and family.

 

 

Computer Gift

 

I was in Unger Libray Friday with one of our grandgirls for the Summer Reading Club. We had a great time. 

Before and after we sat at the juvenile computer station that the Hale County Literacy Council & the library gifted for our children. There is no Internet so, no worry. There are many learning and fun activities. I was very impressed!

You should stop by and enjoy the fun program!

 

 

Roads

 

When we are out traveling this summer, this link of Texas road warnings sure might come in handy...Drive Texas.

Aren't we thankful to have the roads we have to drive on? 

 

Here is an early Plainview picture... the road to Wayland Baptist University. Can you name it?

 

 

Beautification

 

Today we moved the Snack Pak 4 Kids location. We moved to our new lakefront property! 

 

 

Snack Pak 4 Kids is now located in the northwest end of the PISD Education Complex, 24th and Yonkers Street area.

A huge thank you to the crew who moved us; McCoy's Lumber and Garland Street Church of Christ! Beautiful, spirit-filled volunteers!!!

 

 

And, on the way with the second load I saw these guys out working in a yard on 11th and what they are doing is just beautiful! I had to stop and thank them for improving Plainview one house at a time. Thank you Bublis Enterprises, Alan Sistrunk and the crew! They are beautifying many of their properties. Great work!!!

 

 

Just another day in the community I love!!!

 

 

Hot Topic

 

Today, KCBD was in town to cover Plainview's current "hot topic."  Read about it at myplainview.com.

 

 

Please take some time to educate yourselves before you determine what is best in any situation where historical change will be made through the privilege of casting a vote. It is a very humbling and private gift!

 

YMCA Camp 1957

 

In 1957, the Plainview YMCA had a twirling camp. This is a picture of the kids who participated sitting in front of the junior high school. Jeanie Ellerd Pennell was one of the instructors; on the right side of picture.

I think the YMCA should have twirling camps now...for smarter kids!!!

 

 

PPO

 

The PPO (Plainview Post Office) is such a beautiful building!
