Mary Anna and Jacob Groff stand with their youngest son and their dog in front of their stone farmhouse in Castroville, Texas circa 1910. Isn't this a spectacular Texas photo?

Lots of announcements today! Here's the first one! -

We are working on several things to give back to the community this holiday season because we are very aware times are tough. One of the things we came up with is this: For every $20 you spend here in gift card purchases or Flex Card purchases, we will give you an additional $6 gift card that you can use as stocking stuffers or whatever you want.

Give the gift of entertainment this year and get more for free!

The U.S.S. Texas passes through the Gatun Locks of the Panama Canal in July, 1919. What an amazing ship and what a wondrous photo. I love seeing the crew on the decks like this. And to think you can go and see it still today. Really cool!

Today would have been the legendary Charlie Daniels' 89th birthday. In his memoir, the late musician shares his personal path from his post-depression childhood to performing for millions as one of the most successful country acts of all time.

As Charlie said, "You're concerned with the people who showed up, not the ones who didn't. So give them a show and...Never look at the empty seats!"
