Diamonds

It’s been said that a diamond is a girl’s best friend. There’s no doubting why either- nothing is as beautiful or brilliant as a high quality diamond. The beauty it adds to jewelry can’t be beat.

But when you purchase diamonds you have to be careful and make sure you are getting a good quality diamond at an affordable price. This is why visiting today will provide you with options you may not have known you have.

Fossil Rim


For over 25 years Fossil Rim has provided a 9.5 mile drive through 1700 acres of an African Safari, in Glen Rose, Texas.

Located less than an hour and a half drive from the Metroplex, Fossil Rim lets you see deers, rhinos, giraffes, and other animals living in their near natural environment. And it doesn't matter if it raining, snowing, or hot- the animals are out and about all year long.

From the comfort of your own vehicle, you'll drive through forest, Savannah-like pastures, and see the animals up close and personal. And to add to the excitement and entice the animals to give you a close visit, a bucket of food can be purchased at the entrance and used to lure the animals to your vehicle.

But Fossil Rim is more than just a cruise through the wildlife, there's a whole lot more.

Half way through your drive, you'll find a picnic area, cafe, gift shop, and children's zoo. There's also a place to take a short hike on foot. And for those that love it so much they want to stay, lodging is available (by advanced reservation only). Choose either the Lodge or the Foothills Safari Camp.

Rain or shine, the park is always open, and you can plan on taking two or three hours for your basic drive through. It's a great way to spend the day with the family, or get away and relax on your own.

For an extra charge, guided tours are available if you'd rather be escorted than drive your own vehicle.

Visit FossilRim.com for more details, pricing, and hours.

Texas Missions Around El Paso

There are only three missions in the El Paso area because of the shift in the banks of the Rio Grande River. Ysleta and Socorro Missions and The San Elizario presidio chapel remain today.

You can drive to all three in just over three hours time. Some times of the year there is a trolley that goes from mission to mission. The missions around El Paso are unique. They do not look like other missions of Texas. They were built to fit the area 's needs.

El Pasoans celebrate what they call Thanksgiving on April 30. They claim that was when the first Thanksgiving was held. They say that Don Juan de Onate led an expedition from Mexico in April 1598. The colonist had to bear many hardships such as hot desert heat with very little food or water. When they arrived safely , old Don Juan told everyone to put on their best clothes because they were going to feast and have Thanksgiving. This was the first Thanksgiving to El Pasoans.

Javelina


The Collared Peccary, or more commonly called the Javelina, lives in the Texas brush of the Central Grasslands.

A Javelina is a piglike animal with many of the same features as a pig. It has a large head with a long snout and stiff hair . Its hind foot has three toes rather than four.

A full grown Javelina stands close to two feet and weighs thirty-five to sixty pounds. It has poor eyesight but good hearing. Hunters say that you can smell a Javelina before you can see it, and if you've ever been close to one you'll know why.

The Javelina's diet consists of acorns, pecans, and fruits of the prickly plants. It gets much of its water from the prickly pears. The Javelina has a lifespan of ten years.

Texan, Texian, or Texican?

Have you ever wondered why books and movies call someone from Texas a Texan only part of the time? Other times they are referred to as Texians, or Texicans.

From the start there has been a lot of confusion. During the Republic, most called themselves Texians. The official documents of that period use the term.

After Texas became a state, most used the term Texan, but it was mostly people outside Texas. But after the Civil War, most residents called themselves Texans.

There is a small group of old timers that still call themselves Texicans. They try to preserve the old ways. No matter what you call them, they are a proud lot.

Outdoor Lighting

There’s a lot you can do to your home to make it beautiful and even more safe. One of these is quality outdoor lights that will light up your home, your walkways, and other spots on your home that will make it look beautiful. These outdoor lights will also make your home much safer, as criminals will not be able to hide in dark corners undetected and take care of their business.
