"Most of us live a cautious life on the principle of safety first; but to live the Christian life there is necessary a certain reckless willingness to adventure. If faith can see every step of the way, it is not really faith."
Wm. Barclay
“Few frontiers would have been settled without that special breed of women who have always followed the footsteps of their wandering husbands.” Wayne Short, from “The Cheechakoes”
"Life is either a daring adventure or it is nothing."

"Twenty years from now, you will be more disappointed by the things you did not do than by the things you did do. So, throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover."
Samuel Clemens
"Truth is the cry of many but the game of few." --George Berkeley
"I would rather live my life as if there is a God and die to find out there isn't, than live my life as if there isn't and die to find out there is."
Albert Camus
God's gifts put man's best dreams to shame. "Hell begins on the day when God grants us a clear vision of all that we might have achieved, of all the gifts which we have wasted, of all that we might have done which we did not do" "Hold fast to dreams for if dreams die, life is a broken-winged bird that cannot fly."
Elizabeth Barrett Browning

no way! that is awesome. will you email me these pics?
I know the original old one is in TX, but that was a guess; then I googled it and found out it really is in TX. But where is the other??? :-)
On our way home from Texas we forsook the interstate for an old highway. We went through many towns that Sarah dubbed, "Radiator Springs." I saw a sign for Langtry, Texas and thought it sounded familiar. Then a sign for Judge Roy Bean's Law West of the Pecos museum. We took the detour and enjoyed the location commemorating his brand of frontier justice. I even bought a book about him. He was proprietor of the Jersey Lilly Saloon, and would pick juries of barflies and hold court in the saloon. Amid it all he he had a certain sense of justice perhaps due to the influence of a Bible quoting friend named Dodd.
Coincicence: Four days later we were walking through Knott's Berry Farm with grandkids, and to my surprise there was a replica of the Jersey Lilly.
i must have missed this post - i was trying to figure out which one was which - the original vs the remake. (without re-reading your comment)
i'm figuring the top one was the remake - not sure that part of texas has access to pointsettias!
Sarah's so funny... love her.
