A Walk About Dean Porter Paark


February 5, 2009






Our morning constitutional was around the Dean Porter Park in Brownsville, Texas. We found some interesting things along the way. The bronze statues, the Heritage Complex and the Brownsville Museum. We entered the Ringgold Civic Pavilion and met Jamie. She told us about the Brownsville Winter Residents Club. They have some exciting events that include, movies, tours, classes, parties, talks and shows. You can check them out at http://www.winterresidentsclubofbrownsville.org/

We loved the tile mural inside the building. It depicts Brownsville's colorful past from pre-history through 2000. A reproduction of the original watercolor by Don Breeden was hand painted on individual ceramic tiles then installed as a 14 x 40 foot mural.

Who knows what the new world will be like after this.

He really enjoyed technology and used it at work, home and helped everyone enjoy theirs too. He bought a boat that he and my sister enjoyed for many years. He walked his daughter down the isle. And welcomed Travis into his family. Not long after Layla was born and he became a very proud Pap Pap. He and my sister retired to Florida. Where Cliff learned to golf. One of my best memories are of our Cookie Days together. Cliff worked at Lowes and enjoyed his job in the paint department. He got sick; he found out he had stage 4-bladder cancer. We went on our traditional breakfast together each time we got together over the years. He finished the first round of chemo treatments. But the cancer went into his bones. He kept smiling and living life to the fullest. He enjoyed ...
