Beautiful homes in Weatherford.

This is the town that inspired Larry McMurty's Novel, Lonesome Dove. Cattle drover Oliver Loving is buried in Weatherford’s Greenwood
Cemetery. After being attacked by Indians in New Mexico in 1867,
Loving’s dying wish to his friend, Charles Goodnight, was to be buried
in his home, Parker County. Goodnight brought the body back six
hundred miles by wagon for burial.
A year earlier, Goodnight had invented the first chuckwagon which
catered to cowboys on a cattle drive that would later become known as
the Goodnight-Loving Trail. We followed along it where we could.
Boze Ikard, who served with Goodnight and for whom the McMurtry
character “Deets” was modeled, was also laid to rest in the Greenwood
Cemetery. Very cool old cemetery.

The Stake Center in Weatherford is located next to the High School. The old building the Stake met in burned 3 years ago, this one was dedicated in November. (They are in Parker County, not Clark County)

Sister Nelson captured me showing my scrap booking skills. Much work goes into a "Game of Life" for youth conference. Sister Poole invented the Life Size game based on the Milton Bradley board game with the same name.

Elder Mahana Comes in 2 days a week and types in jobs on the Web site. He served a mission in the Washington DC south Sister Susan and Whip may have some stories of this area!

The center has been hosting Census testing for the last month. It has drawn in over 100 people that didn't know what this building was even though they had driven by it!

This is Art Stout. He is over the granary. People usually don't give him much guff! He says' "Elder Nelson get away from there, you don't know nothing about chinary!"

Here is the Missionaries waiting for the center to open for the day.
