Eureaka!!

For a while, I have been racking my brain (what there is of it) and attempting to come up with a new Blog name which really reflected who I am, what I like and etc. I think I finally found it..

I grew up in a small Texas town named Terrell, which is the Gateway to East Texas. It is your typical small town with a historical Main Street and older store fronts that have changed way too many times to recall.  I still remember a few..Merritt's, Rutledge Drug Store (they had an amazing soda fountain and I always got an orange-aide while my rx's were being filled), The Country Store, and way back the Candy Kitchen. The houses ranged from small frame houses to huge plantation style homes which date back to the first settler's in town. 

I grew up in a few different houses but must say that our house on Melody Lane is the one which I consider home. From my early teens to way beyond college was spent off and on in this home. It is somewhat small house for today's standards but there was only three of us..my Daddy (yep, I said Daddy), my Mom and I. We have shared many Birthdays, Holidays and lazy days in this home. We have also struggled through the tough times there. My parents still live in this home and now it bursts at the seams when we fill it will our Families and Love.

That is why I have chosen Melody Lane as the name of my blog...it is where life truly began for me and my heart still resides there.
