Spotting That House
Memories of traveling in the 1950s: My brothers and I took naps but wanted to be awakened to see the polka-dot house in Buna [On the Dots, October 2025].

Good Food, Good Cause
Frito pies have been the gourmet dish of choice in countless Texas stadiums and arenas—chili and chips served on chilly nights by Rotarians, band parents and electric co-op members to raise money for countless important community projects [It’s in the Bag, September 2025].

Yodeler’s Lore
My dad, born in 1925, and his siblings grew up listening to Jimmie Rodgers [The Fast Track, July 2025]. In the ’60s, my siblings and I listened to his music on the record player. T for Texas comes to mind when I think about those Saturdays and the yodeling we would try to mimic.

My heart sank when the author mentions Cash, Haggard and Tubb and not one mention of Jim Reeves. Reeves was born and raised in Texas. His name carries weight as well.

A Tea for Texas
As I told my husband about the interesting History in a Box [August 2025], he informed me that he’d visited that very museum years ago. I then immediately remembered the souvenir box that he brought me filled with teas similar to those destroyed.
The information included with the box had the story of the Robinson Half Chest, though it failed to mention the Texas connection.
