The Road Not Taken

the road to school. i grew up just down this county road. i love that i still have my familia at the ranch and that i now live not to far away.. in Corpus Christi.


Robert Frost: The Road Not Taken
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth.

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same.

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I--
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
i wonder if the gym floor at the jr. high still has this design?

REMEMBERING ELEMENTARY & JR HIGH SCHOOL - Driscoll Elementary and Jr. High held some interesting memories. i liked my teachers. mrs. White was my favorite. she made me feel better about not knowing how to speak English very well. her husband was the Principal of the school and our basketball coach. we had some good times us Driscoll Dragons. undefeated! we lived and breathed basketball.
puppies and birds. it's what we love. mom has a new friend and she is o sooooo happy about it.

i am beyond words. my boss is calendars chair. the committee through which all major pieces of legislation must flow. the appointment puts him at the forefront of setting the legislative agenda for the Texas legislature. “I am pleased to appoint Rep. Hunter as chair of the House Committee on Calendars, which plays an integral role in shepherding critical legislation through the House and Senate. I know Todd will serve our body well in this role, while continuing to make many other significant contributions to the House in redistricting and other matters that are important to our state.” said Speaker Straus. this is huge for the coastal bend. congrats rep. hunter!!!
