I wear from 7 1/2 to 8. Because these are a roomier boot by the design,  I figured a 7 1/2 would work and they do; they are a roomy size 7 1/2. If I ordered an 8 it would definitely be too big.

I enjoy this book since it gives a detailed history of Houston by way of telling the history of HPD. This book looks like a textbook but is suprisingly an easy read. I have not yet finished this book but so far it's been a great purchase.

If you have lived in Houston, Texas for any length of time, you will have heard people say things like, "You know he lives in River Oaks." or "She grew up in River Oaks."  And everyone in Houston knows exactly what community you are referring to and about the rich and powerful people who live there.

In her follow-up book to her very successful "Houston: 1860-1900," Ann Dunphy Becker has set her sights on giving the reader a rare and unique glimpse inside Houston's most prestigious neighborhood.  "Houston's River Oaks" covers the period from the founding of River Oaks in 1923 until 1970.

This is a great book for anyone who ever wanted to peek inside the private lives of the residents of River Oaks to see just what it was like to live there during different periods in its history.  Many River Oaks families contributed to the intrigue of this fascinating book with stories and hundreds of photographs of local residents ranging from Mary Thompson to Clark Gable that have never been published before.

Like Ann Dunphy Becker's book "Houston: 1860-1900," Arcadia Publishing has also published the 128 page "Houston's River Oaks (Images of America)" by Ann Dunphy Becker with George Murray.  K. K. Searle - Texas History Page.

Having lived in Houston for nearly 15 years, it was really interesting to read Alderson's portrayal of Houston during the time of prohibition. I learned a lot of details about the history of the city and Texas. Kudos to Alderson for painting such vivid characters and really sinking the reader into the time period.

I have a little high strung siamese cat.  We were moving to Texas from California. Both our cats had to drive in the UHaul with us.  she was fine the first day, but the second she clawed a hole in the mesh and got out.  Luckily she was in the truck and not in mid transport outside.

My mother was a W.A.S.P. trainee in 1944. She told me her story and showed me photos of Sweetwater, TX.
She is in the mueum there and I found her photo sitting on the wing of one of the planes from the website from
the Texas University. Eleanor's story has more details of her personal experience.

The authors and contributors to this book worked deep in the fine details of Houston's past. So much of it has been lost to the ages, but with Houston's Forgotten Heritage, it almost comes back to life through the fine  photographs of the opulent homes and even the log cabins. It is a joy to  show this book to many of my "old-timer" neighbors, who remember  a building here and there, and even the old fixtures, appliances, and ways  of life. We should all be grateful to the authors of this book for  reminding us of our glorious past.

Once again Vickie Winans has done it.  I've always been a fan of her music, and this dvd is a must see.

As a native Houstonian, I was particularly interested in knowing additional info on Houston my home and birthplace. Houston Legends is different because it focuses on the people that made Houston. As you read through it an overall view of what made Houston a place to create and prosper. I think when you read about these people it both inspires and makes you proud of the Houston community. I have a lot of books on Houston and yet I found a lot of new info on my personal experiences. At the start of my career I worked at the old Hughes Tool Company on Polk street. Although the Grand Prize brewery was closed , there were stories from the older employees on stopping for a quick brew before going home. What I didn't know was that Howard Hughes started the brewery after prohibition as a benefit for the employees. The brewery profits also helped Hughes Tool survive the depression. In fact I have several stories about the interaction of the brewery and Hughes employees that could be used in volume 2.

Another good story is how many eating places have been the road to success. I loved the short story of Felix Tijernia who opened Felix's restaurants which no longer exist. He was a poor uneducated guy from Mexico whose started out as a busboy. I remember my dad driving all the way from Spring Branch to Montrose to eat at the original Felix's. After becoming a success Felix served as four time national president of LULAC. His educational efforts in later years resulted in a school being named for him. I remembered this from the menu however I learned something new that the original recipes were licensed to El Patio restaurants and are still being served today. I've already plan to make a stop at El Patio.

All in all, the book is chocked full of all these little stories about people who have made Houston and continues on showing the true spirit that continues making this a great place for future generations. Thanks Hank

Summertime is brutal in Houston.  Visors over hats all day.  This one is quite nice.

I loved the original HIWI (Houston It's Worth It) book, which had one basic rule for photos: if the Chamber of Commerce would love it, don't send it to us. The photos really illustrated the reasons why Houstonians love this place in spite of. . .  (well, it's a long list). And the best thing about Houston is its people, amply explored in the new HIWI: Ike book in images and text. Hurricane Ike was hard on Houston, but if any city has a knack for making the best of things, Houston does. The book, beautifully put togeher - as was the original - tells the story. The folks at ttweak have done a fine job again. I hope the HIWI series continues with many more volumes.

Picture this.... Texas has left the United States to be its own ruling country.  But the USA has some folks on their most wanted list that they DON'T want seeking cover in Texas.  This is where you will find yourself in this, book #4 in "The Haven Seekers" series.  I was a latecomer to the party, and jumped in at book #4, but the author did an excellent job of filling in enough blanks that I could catch the plot and the characters which she developed well.  It makes me want to go back and pick up the other three books!  Excellent read, no trash.

** I received a complimentary digital copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
