Road to recovery

My mother is getting steadily better. The feeding tube is history. She's up doing therapy morning and night. But if you've ever known anyone who had back surgery, you know it'll be a long slow road to recovery. When she comes home in probably a couple of weeks, here are a few of the things she might see along the way.


City block, off Hwy. 155, Winona, Tex.


Faith Baptist Church, Hwy. 155, Gilmer.


Barton's vineyard, S. Montgomery St., Gilmer.
