Replicating the American Gothic painting by Grant Wood is Iannelli Garza and Lucas Dyer.  They took my gigantic fork from my wall as a decor and posed for the shot.  The painting has become not only one of the most reproduced images  in American popular culture, it has also virtually become emblematic of the simple virtues for which America is said to stand. The actual painting is a father and daughter, not a husband and wife. 

 

                                    

                It's that time of the season in the Rio Grande Valley where
                orchards are blooming in Oranges.  Whether is fresh orange
                juice or fresh orange wedges in your salad, an orange or lemon
                tree can be one of the best choices to plant in your own backyard.

                            Inside this chapel are walls of stone, 2 bench seats,
                            its alter and you, yourself and Him.

Within nature, we can built a chapel.  A small, quaint and meaningful church chapel was built about the size of a 12 x12 in a beautiful home's backyard.  As you walk in, no matter the size or color, you feel like you are in God's home.

 This is like, over the river and through the woods....  This 100 year-old antique cart was brought in from Rodriguez Coahuila Mexico into the backyard of The Maldonado Family of  Rio Grande Steel.  It's used as a backyard decoration and for photos in all sorts of events.
