Abott Texas

A visit to the Hometown of Willie Nelson. Not a huge town. In fact it was the perfect size! Just off of I-35-South 80 miles from Dallas

Seemed like the freeway by passed the town and it has been forgotten

Willie bought this Church

Willie bought this grocery Store, Major has run it for many years for him. Willie calls him often to check and see how he is doing. He had a stroke last year, however, he still goes to the store every day. A loyal employee for sure.

There was a meat counter. It reminded me of the old Bob Dotson Market.

An old news clip of Willie when he was on the basketball team. He is the one on the far right.

Major told us to make ourselves at home and have some Blue Bell Ice Cream


What a great visit. He knows allot more about the LDS church now!
