Throwback Thursday: Astrodome

    Took this photo most likely in 1994. The Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo was in town, and I was apparently on the Ferris wheel at the time. I love the Dome. Opened in 1965, home to the Houston Astros baseball and Oilers football teams. I went to so many Astros games that I didn't know what it was like to watch a professional baseball game outdoors! It wasn't until I saw a game in Tiger Stadium in Detroit in 1999 that I experienced pro ball the way most people know it! I pray that they never tear the Dome down. It was the first of its kind and deserves to be preserved.

Throwback Thursday: Snow in Houston

   Winter of 1973 I'm pretty sure. The Houston, Texas suburb of North Shore. The apartments I grew up in. That's our apartment back there, lower right with the curtains open a little. It doesn't snow often in Houston, but when it does you take as many photos as possible!
