Road Trip Part 2 - Remembering a Friend

Driving from Dalhart to Texline the next morning brought back so many memories. One of the things we would do as children was begin looking for Rabbit Ears as soon as we left Dalhart driving toward Texline. We knew when we were able to see the Rabbit Ears landmark we were almost to our destination. This particular drive was no different.

Look at the picture below... if you look really close, you can see the American Indian Chief lying down. From the left you see his feather headdress, then his profile, his hands folded on his chest, then way to the right his two feet. Even as an adult, everytime we drove through Texline on our way to Colorado, I always looked for Rabbit Ears as we drew closer to Texline and the state line.

The celebration of our friend's life began at the cemetery. He had wanted the service to be graveside and his wishs were honored. It was a loving tribute to a much loved, admired, and respected father and friend.

Then, it was on to the church building to be with everyone as we reminiscenced about our friend's life and influence within their family, church family, and the community.

We were glad for the opportunity to take our Road Trip.
