Larry McMurtry's Archer City, Texas




Here we are in Archer City, Texas, home of Larry McMurtry, one of our favorite authors.  Wow!  There are a lot of books here.  This is book building #1.  That is where you pay for books you have selected from exploring buildings #2, #3, and #4. 




We had root beer floats at the local Dairy Queen that has appeared in several of McMurtry's books and movies.

  1. All those books! Heaven to me. I haven't had a root beer float in a long time. I use to reward the kids with one after a long hard day's work around home. Nowadays, kids would never stand for such low rewards.

  2. So you guys are touring around Texas now! Cool. I know a guy that would love to be in that book store. I guess you are camped out there for a few days or so. Love hearing about your travels. I WISH I could have a root beer float. Sort of addictive for me. So you guys have an extra one, Hope to see you soon. Have a safe trip home.

  4. Well I am back at my home base again. Just too busy for blogging, but wanted to take a little time to see what everyone else is up to. See you are on the road again. Saw you were busy planting lots of trees this winter also. Hope they all survive, looks like you did a good job. Well I could spend a lot of time that book store. I just love places like that.
