The Egg House

Here we are again with one last blog from our trip back home. This blog is mainly for my family, no one else will really understand what these photos truly mean other than my family and those close to us. When I first decided to go back home and visit all of my family back in Texas one of the first things I thought about was taking photos of the "Egg House" that my great grandpa and all the good 'ol boys used to play dominoes at and some of them still do. I'm not going to get into why they call it the "Egg House" but it's pretty much self explanatory. Every Monday night my great grandpa would make a huge batch of popcorn and take it up to the egg house for all the guys and they would play dominoes until late in the night. It was so fun to go with him and just watch them get so worked up over the game, shuffling the dominoes all around the table and then slamming them down when they were making a good play. If we were unable to find my grandpa during the day we always knew to check the Egg House first, chances were him and his brother Pete were there playing a game while they had some free time. I have so many great memories of the egg house and couldn't resist taking some photos. To many it may just look like nothing but an old building but when I look at it -- I relive all the wonderful memories made there. So this blog is dedicated to my great grandpa who we called Big Sammie. He passed away in December of 2003 and there isn't a day that goes by that I don't think of him and my Nannie.

And last, my great uncle Pete with Harper his great great nephew. I love these 2 photos so much :)
