Welcome to My Journal

Memories—all of us have memories. Our experiences, good or bad, help to enrich our lives. When we have been touched by an experience, sharing the memory unlocks the experience and passes the appreciation on to someone else.

 

I love stories about historical Southeast Texas and the natural wonder of the Big Thicket. This edition of My Journal has been created to share an appreciation for the people, the land and the history of Southeast Texas, and for remembering the way things were in a little farm community in southeast Texas during the 1950s.
Tales and Trails—Pineville Road Memoirs
	Summer Farm I was mostly like the grasshopper who played while everyone else worked hard earning the living and farming for food.
	Turkey Creek Trail Turkey Creek and the surrounding woods are an amazing peaceful paradise.
	Step Back Collecting and preserving primitives keeps me close to the happy rural experience.
	Folktales My favorite time as a child was bed-time story-time.

Tales and Trails—Pineville Road Memoirs features photography by King C. Wong, long-time Houston Post photographer, and includes poems and writings by Linda Wong who spent childhood summers with her grandparents on the farm. Folktales are presented as recited by T. L. Nolen to his grandchildren.
