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!

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

It was!!! There were tracks not far from where I lived. I’d always go to one set and wait for the train. The other set of tracks, I’d play on/ride my bike across the trestle and wait for the train to pull out of dock by the mill. No one ever accused me of being bright. Wonder if that’s still there?

Oh we used to play on a RR trestle in Bells off of Hwy 69!! No.. not the best idea!! 🤪🤣😂🤣🤣

Too bad I didn’t meet you in Denison - we’d both need bail $!!! Lol - there was an old woman living by the tracks who when she saw me would call my mom. She knew what I was doing before I got home. Didn’t stop me. If I was on the trestle w train coming - bike and I jumped. Nothing but soft sand

That sounds like fun!! My parents had a friend who was an engineer. He'd stop across the street from our house & my little brother would get into the train w him for a few minutes. Today, he'd get fired for allowing a child into the engineer w him!! In addition, not staying on schedule!! 🤪😂🚂

My dad retired from BNSF after taking a buyout from the southern Pacific Railroad. My uncles worked for the Katy and UP. I was raised in the depot in Sherman with my grandpa. Cream soda and bugles chips from the vending machine and picnic on the platform. 🤣

I lived in Sherman for awhile. Only 2 months. Not far from the college.

She’s awesome! Did you see the craziness where she was arrested for pot after she called the cops about a break in? I had just watched her perform at the WNBA all star game. Guess it happened then. I love her saying let me tell you who I am real quick. Too bad couldn’t say it to the cops
aug 11, 2025, 2:34 am • 2 1 • view
YES!! I was proud of her for turning herself in. "Yup!! It's mine, & what you gonna do abt the break-in??? MmmHmm!
aug 11, 2025, 1:22 pm • 2 0 • view
Yeah - now just why were the cops more focused on the pot instead of the break in? Don’t get me started…

You’re too funny! I bought my pickup from a young guy. He didn’t tell me it had mufflers on it to wake the dead. He also had a skull Sticker on the back. I left it. And giggle at the looks I get when they see who is driving it.

OMG! I used to drive my hubs souped-up pickup. Glasspiacks & on occasion flames shoot out of them. A 454 engine & ordered a special carburetor from factory. Sticker on back "KVIL SUCKS." (An easy listening radio station.) I was pregnant & worked 4 high-end Ins Co so dressed properly. SMDH!! 🤦♀️😆🤣🤣🛻🤣🤣

That would have been hilarious! Wonder how the po po feels about drag racing in pickups!!! 😂😂😂 Dallas used to have a KVIL. I listened to KBOX when I lived there. And KDSX when in Denison. I don’t even know if any of that exists anymore.

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.

Me too. But the granddaughter Lily is active in politics too. I remember Ann bringing her to the Lady Longhorn basketball games when she was like 4 or 5. Watched her grow up there. What an amazing young woman - but who would expect anything less being related to Ann?

#SpittingFacts my lady!! How cool to bring her to the games!! I'm getting into #WNBA bc I'm watching more collegiate female sports. Softball, too. Ive never been interested in baseball, but the gals softball is different, imo. 🤷♀️🤗🏀🥎⚽️🏐 #GoGurls

I’ve followed women’s college basketball/softball forever. Started watching pro basketball last yr - thanks C Clark! Now added softball pro. Am so glad to see it getting the audience it deserves! Ann would bring Lily in a little Longhorn cheerleader outfit. Sat w Barbara Jordan - another Shero

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
