There is a beauty found no where else as it is in East Texas at Sundown.  This is especially so when one has open pasture land over twenty-nine acres with open sky.  There is nothing else like it.  When I visit in what will be 0ur soon past primary home in McKinney, I can hardly breath with the homes being so close by, even though I am blessed with a very large golf course lot overlooking a 50,000 gallon pool with views from seven rooms in the home. Just walking the land on our farm at various parts of the day renders one a freedom of spirit that is like no other. Take time to click each of these pictures.  Be patient in the download time.  Take time to note the beauty of the detail and the beauty of the open sky.

“But you do not even have a Vine yet!” copyright 2013 John J. Rigo, Texas’ Commentator

This represents a part of my belief system.

This represents a part of my belief system.

From the distance I can hear that thought from some that have found this site.  That is true, at this moment there is not a vine one on our farm yet.  I am a believer in having vision before one is capable in having dreams becoming a reality.  It is one of the Lord’s greatest gifts to us all.  Sadly, many of us, lack the courage and belief in one’s self to exercise this gift.  Today, my wife and I see this dream in its finished reality.  It just a matter of a little time.
