When I first went to Meridian, Mississippi I found they had the fantastic Dentzel Carousel, and beautifully painted life-sized carousel horses which were scattered around town as a fundraising venture for "Hope Village" for children. Tracking down the carousel horses made for a fantastic adventure. This adventure started a trend for me. Now I look for this same type of art project in all of the towns I travel to. Here in Abilene there are numerous outdoor Sculptures scattered all over town. I found quite a few, but I'm sure I missed a lot of them. I've posted some of these photos here. There is also a Fantastic Rock Sculpture at the University and the ruins of an old abandoned Fort (Fort Phantom Hill) to explore nearby. Besides the outdoor art, my dad loved visiting the "12th Armored Division Memorial Museum" & we both enjoyed "Frontier Texas".

While the cashier stated the article was fake, the leather, hair on hide, and/or fur are not. Louis Vuitton is not associated with Keep It Gypsy, Arkansas, USA. Don't knock it until you try it. I will happily cart around my fake purse, it goes well with my leather ankle zip boots that I also purchased at The Arrangement some time ago. As a cashier, or retail associate, don't rain on a customer's parade. It was my Christmas gift to me for working so hard. Thanks :)
