GTT Trip
I left Fort Worth headed to Athens to visit with my cousin Sharon and her clan. On the way, I passed through Midlothian, Texas which apparently knows something about cement.
A few miles down the road from Midlothian is Waxahachie.
This is the newly renovated courthouse of Ellis County.

I'm not sure how Gun Barrel City got it's name...
I want to be in Athens, Georgia on June 29th for the International Women in Motorcycling Conference. So the next few days I will be traveling from Athens to Athens.
But one story says that the town name is derived from its motto, "We shoot straight with you," and its symbol, a rifle.![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVqmZ7nMsCZyGqwetF4qw_5uFpU_Ja_7TLJMxlBXkgpChg791yiW2ksRQY5_EctoZZPD0gMjgbjdfMGO1Ufy7s0c9gCSnK0pdbSmW9-9FGruqcbwerb-H3VWD77cuOWkwau8vkrD5mlk97/w640-h478/DSCN1986.jpg)
Here's cousin Sharon and some of her clan.

Stay tuned...there may be a twist.
