Seeing as how it is the Holidays, I cannot forget to honor the Veterans who have served our country.
We are fortunate to have both a VFW and American Legion Posts here in the Valley. They do an awful lot of community service. The VFW Post has taken National Honors the past 2 years for community service. Each year the Veterans open up the WW2 tank for display and the kids love to climb all over it. There is always a Veterans Day parade on Nov. 11 of each year and the whole town turns out to honor our Vets. I believe that there is still 1 or 2 WW1 Veterans still alive. Salvation is free but Freedom comes at the cost of the precious blood of the American Veteran. And so I salute each and every one of them. I hope that you will also. God Bless our Veterans.

Sorry to say our Director has passed away & his Ass't has stepped up.

Xmas 2007 at Senior Center

This is our Senior Center in Overton, Nv. There are approx.
200 members and they enjoy cards, billiards, ceramics, music,
dancing, bingo, a library, computers, along with great meals and birthday trips. They host an annual swap meet and bazaar.
The quilters offer raffles on their hand made quilts through out the year. These are the "Doers and Donors" of the Senior World here
in the Valley.

Ice Cream Parlor

At the South end of town is our Ice Cream Parlor called The Inside Scoop. They serve Dryer's Ice Cream along with very good sandwiches at reasonable prices. A lot of people passing through town on their way to Lake Mead Recreational Park or The Valley of Fire stop here to cool off during the hot summers here in the desert. Many of the people are tourists. Mostly from European countries. If you'r ever in the valley, stop in and check out this Overton land mark. You won't be sorry. Tell them Charlie sent you!
They won't know who Charlie is....but tell them anyway.

Google Sky Overton

This top pix is a closer look from Google Sky.

The first pix I would like you to see is the whole valley that Overton is in.
If you click on the pix it should enlarge for you.
The big body of water at the bottom is Lake Mead.
There is some good fishing there.
Notice the red rock?

My Town

I'm going to create pixs of my town and show them to you.
Come back often to see what it is like.
I will post them as I take them from day to day.
Life in a small town , in a valley, in the desert is not like anything else.
I may even show you some of our local inhabitants (characters).
Come back now!

Fun Time

Boy am I having FUN with this new digital camera!
I'm just like a kid with a new toy.
I'm glad my wife talked me into getting one.
And for my grand daughter showing me how to get pics into the PC.
Well anyway, I'll show you our Christmas Tree.
