Really? Spent my first 10 yrs in Grayson county. Used to ride my bike to the red river to fish in the summers. And my dad - the bootlegger of the county during that time. I’m so very sorry you went thru that. A 17 yr old disappeared from my neighborhood when she got pregnant - was sent to unwed home
WHOA!! I grew up in Bells, Grayson Co. Hung out at the SherDen mall & lake Texoma!! This is BIZARRE!! I'm a fighter, but they were a pack. I couldn't take on the entire group. Now, I would. LOL!! "Im not as sweet as I used to be." Im like Ousier Boudreaux in Steel Magnolias!! 😉😆🤣🤣
Lol - that’s who I identify with in that movie! Wow! That is a small town. I was in Denison- not far from you. Yeah - I tried to take on a group once. They showed me. But I got them back. One by one and when least expected. Lake Texoma and Burns Run were my fav. But so was the River.
BURNS RUN, YEEESSSS!! Swim to the island!! Oh & The Electric Co to party down!!!!! This is so crazy but I love it!!! Loved to go to Denison & drive up & down Main st & to Sonic & back again!!! LOL
Yeah - main was the drag back then. So was whatever street the wagon wheel was on. I loved Main Street and the cobblestones. Used to go watch the trains too. I bet that place has changed a lot.
Mom worked for the Katy railroad back then!! Yes, the trains!! Main street is no longer curvy. We visited Hendrix awhile back & Main st is now straight!! Im like, "What happened!?" I liked it curvy!! We used to camp out at Eisenhower or West Burns Run. Ski & take the dirt bikes!! SO FUN!! 🏞🚤🛵🏍
Lol - that would be me!!! I only went camping at the river and some secret place my dad found. But no tent!!! Truck bed for me, ground for him, truck cab for my mom. But the food was great!
Denison!!
Hey! You know Denison? My town!!!
Born and raised. Now, I’m right across the lake. My dad and grandfather were train engineers in Denison and my mom worked at the old mall hair salon. 🙋♀️
Wow! Such a small world!! I have fond memories of Denison. I bet it’s grown and changed a lot. Back in my time - 1 sheriff that I knew of. He earned his salary w my dad and me - lol
This is CRAZY!! Mom worked for MKT RR & when BNSF bought them out she transferred to Omaha, NE. They have the BEST train museum I've ever seen!! Nice zoo, too!! #trains
Isn't this CRAZY!! On a platform as large & far reaching as Bsky, we 3 run into each other. Is this a sign from the great beyond... Ann Richards ghost looping us together?! Mmm.. 🤔🤔🤔👻👻👻💙💙💙
I love it!!!! Who knew??? My fav trio: Ann, Molly, Liz. I would have loved being a fly on the wall when those 3 got together. Ann had such a mouth that could make a sailor blush and I loved it.

Awe yes!! The glorious river!! SO FUN!! I can recall sleeping in pickup bed. Mom insisted we sleep in the tent while mom & dad slept outside in the fresh air, under the willows. Dad became an auctioneer & finally came home w a popup camper. I thought we were rich!! SMDH!! 😂
I would have lived a real tent! Mine was a sheet tossed over tree branches but my dad wouldn’t let me sleep order it. But I loved the truck bed. Do you remember the old ice boxed where you had to put a block of ice in it? That’s what we had on the River bottom.
Oh, YES! My g-ma had 1!! Her sewing machine had a pedal to make it run, too!! My dad was considered a change of life baby, so his mom was abit older than my mom's.
I remember those sewing machines! My GM had one of those ice boxes. I don’t know how it worked cuz she refused electricity until my mom made her get it. She still never turned a light on. At the River, there was a big, black bumpy snake under the box that chased my dad. It was funny. Not to my mom
Such great memories! Is the train depot still there? I used to hide behind those big poles until I heard a train coming. There was an elderly man there who would give me M&M’s. Innocent days. Lol - there was a bank w revolving doors- my fav toy. Drove them nuts but so much fun! Sad about main st!!!!
Oh yes, revolving doors!! When we came to Dallas I LOVED those doors!! Im not sure. We went up 75N & took a R on Main St. I was so surprised abt the changing the streets, that's all I yammered abt!! 🤪🤪🤪
Why did they make those changes? Main Street is what gave uptown (as my dad called it) it’s charm. I know Kress has prob been long gone.
Good morning!!🙋♀️🥰🌞💯 I dunno. I left 4 Dallas at 19, & everything's different now. I haven't been to "uptown" in decades. 🙌🏼
Awwww - thanks for the sticker. Ditto! I left Dallas almost as soon I walked offstage from my hs graduation. Started college the next day. The class had a bon fire for students to burn stuff from hs like notes, etc. Not me. 2 bags of dresses, skirts, hose, and dang garter belt! Remember those?
Back in my day, they had a small carnival at Burns Run. Wonder if that place even exists anymore. Sonic. Girl - way after my time. They had a Wagon Wheel and thought we were big time when a McDonald’s came in saying how many burgers they sold. Then there was ashburns ice cream on main. I loved main
