Hello Terlingua Folks!  The Family Crisis Center of the Big Bend will be hosting a Christmas appreciation event on Wednesday December 18th at noon.  It will be a nacho party for our AWESOME volunteers. Come join us for some fun and hot chocolate.  This will also be the day we disburse the toys to the parents who might need some for their kiddos. Chocolate, toys, cheese and chips - fun fun fun.

Terlingua Recycles

Another good day except Dave and I both left hungry. Not a single goodie was brought to us. Oh well, I'm glad I brought a granola bar. Ended up with a nice load of good stuff.  But I did get a couple of calls from customers that overslept and want us to open again next Saturday, the 21st so they can remember to set their alarm clocks to get there.  So, we'll be open again next Saturday. But will be closed the next week for the holidays.   Hours 9-11.  [Editors Comment:  The Grumpy Old Guys are actually pretty GOOD GUYS!  Thank you TWO!!]
