Day Two in East Texas.

Early Tuesday morning David, Robert and I found a cache located in a historic black cemetery in Marshall. Our entire group loaded on the bus and arrived at Marshall pottery by opening time at 9am. They had the entire store decorated for Christmas. My favorite part was watching the potter work on the wheel - it looked so easy but I know it takes lots and lots of practice.













After leaving the pottery we stopped by the cemetery to visit Homer Peden's grave. Our group had prayer around the grave surrounded by tall peaceful pine trees.




Carthage is the home of the Texas Country Music Hall of Fame and Tex Ritter Museum. We stopped to rest by Tex and his horse White Flash.



Going on to Kilgore we visited the Kilgore Oil Museum and stopped the bus the the world's richest acre where oil wells were dug so close together that the derricks almost touched.







Tuesday night we drove to a rose garden just over the state line in Louisana. It was cold but the wind was calm and we were able to take the walking tour.
