Ilost my virginity last week in a way. For the first time ever, I ate at Tex Miller’s in Cameron. I have always heard of it, but I’d never been until last Thursday. People were surprised that I’d never eaten there.
Someone told me that a regular burger with only one patty was not enough food and to order the “double double” which is what I got. And boy was it delicious. It tasted homemade and I felt like it was made with love.
I may have been the last person who hasn’t eaten there from the comments I got on my social media, but if you haven’t eaten there yet, you definitely should. Certainly worth the drive to Cameron even though I was going there anyway for another reason. —kwc— Milano Project Graduation is holding its annual Chicken Dinner and Bake Sale on Sunday, April 21 at the KC Hall in Rockdale from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Tickets are $15 and all Milano seniors are selling them. Pre-sale tickets are available until 2 p.m. that day. The plates include smoked chicken halves, green beans, German noodles, bread, onions and pickles. There will also be a separate bake sale on site with tons of homemade goodies.
This event will be drive through only. —kwc— Rockdale Earth Day is having their day of service this Friday and volunteers are needed at 9 a.m. at the RHS gymnasium. The Rockdale Rotary Club is providing breakfast tacos and water for the volunteers.
Several beautification projects that need help are happening at the RISD Administration Building, the Old City Cemetery, the Kay Theater and the Rockdale One Stop, the Senior Center on Green Street and the 600 block of West Bell Avenue taking care of the redbud trees that the organization has planted there. After these projects are finished there will be litter pick up around town. —kwc— Don’t forget to get rid of your unwanted furniture and mattresses and other household things this Saturday at the city’s Stash Your Trash event at Fair Park.
The gates open at 8 a.m. and lasts until noon or until all the bins are full. —kwc— We all say and write a.m. and p.m. when we are discussing the time, but do you actually know what those letters stand for?
Latin may be a dead language, but its influence is everywhere including in how we express time. When we say a.m. we are using the Latin phrase ante meridiem, which translates into English as “before midday.” And p.m. stands for post meridiem, meaning “after midday.”
Sometimes when it’s 12 o’clock it’s easier to say 12 noon or 12 midnight.
So now you know. Fun facts to know and tell.
