Well, what is that to you?
I do not love you Thursday—
So much is true.
And why you come complaining
Is more than I can see.
Is that to me?”
~Edna St. Vincent Millay

THIS YEAR'S BLACKEYED PEA OFF was dedicated to Bill Bourbon, longtime participant, dearly missed, and honorary winner. Fun was had on Jan. 1st, as all ate black-eyed peas for good luck. First place went to Doug Christian of Terlingua; 2nd place to Abby Love, Austin, TX; and 3rd place was a tie between Cade Furlow (who's cooking team placed, last year) of O'donald, TX and Terlingua local Jennifer Hensen. A total of $2.552.00 (and counting) was raised for non-profit theater group, Last Minute, Low Budget Productions by our generous community. Music provided by Just Us Girls was magical, harmonic, nostalgia, one note at a time...goosebumps and tears of joy swept through dancers, audience, and even the band! The "hot date raffle" was a HUGE success, thanks to contributions from Lajitas Golf Resort, Chisos Mountain Lodge and Big Bend Resorts, the Starlight Theater and Big Bend Holiday Hotel, High Sierra Bar and Grill, Far Flung Outdoor Center, Big Bend Stables, and the Cottonwood General Store. Thank You, thank you, THANK YOU!!!! From Pam Ware.

EARTH AND FIRE GALLERY. SAVE SATURDAY THE 19TH FOR THE PARTY! Frona Fern Farrelly started her journey in the northeastern United States...Baltimore, Md. to be exact. She was drawing, painting and creating since she could hold a pencil and paintbrush. She studied at University of Md. and Loyola College and got degrees in art and teaching. After traveling to fuel her inspiration and see other parts of the world, she married in London. Moving back to the states, they settled in Texas and she continued her education studying in Paris through International Studies Abroad...painting and art history, Florence, Italy at the Academia D'Arte...techniques of the great masters, Ireland at various workshops and Edinburgh at the Academy of Realist Art. Frona, her husband and cats moved to Florida for 7 years where she was fortunate to live near the Southern Atelier in Sarasota. She took classes there and also studied privately. Now back in Texas...for good!!...they have settled in Terlingua where she is letting all she has learned and been exposed to culminate and emerge with her own unique interpretation that is truly Frona. "I am happy to call Terlingua my home. There is a strong creative energy that draws and keeps so many artists here. I am deeply inspired and love being surrounded by these magical mountains and creative community. I look forward to many happy and rewarding years as a productive artist."

A MESSAGE FROM JON BLACKMON: “... I am closing down all my websites (89 of them are related to Terlingua). Doctor bills have bankrupted me and I can't afford the $360 every six months to keep them active. The Chamber of Commerce is one that will be out of commission, as well as most of the businesses in town and of course my favorite, DrDougs.com.”
MARGARETE’S MISSING WATER. From Dani Bottenfield: To whom it may concern. Someone went to Margarete's Quilt shop and drained 11K gallons of water from all her tanks onto the ground.
This lovely lady has been in this community a very long time and she will now have to purchase water to replace what was lost. It is vandalism pure and simple. I hope you are proud.
