the "work of our hands"

This way to some of the most interesting places, people and pundits of the Big Country area!
Here at, Carpenter Interiors, these two are often in the company of the "real" ones who contentedly frequent the area under the Buffalo Gap Oaks.
Stroll across the way and you will happen upon one of the most wonderful assets of our area, George Holland, the Buffalo Gap Potter.
Step into his workshop/gallery/showroom and you will not leave without the perfect gift for someone back home. (or, if you are like myself.... ANOTHER just right coffee cup!)
The delicacy of the butterfly belies the high fire art of George's horse hair pieces.
Even the mundane tasks of our everyday banking needs can be handled in a not so ordinary environment.
The streets of Tuscola are taking on a charm of their own in this growing Jim Ned Valley.
Should you choose to worship with us in the JN Valley, there are several local congregations just waiting to welcome you to their family.
Whether the hands of the preacher,
or the hands of the artist,
The work of the hands of our Jim Ned people will make you say....
"there is just something about this place!!!"
You WILL experience unique opportunities, one of a kind gifts, sincere smiles, and the most welcome of all........honest hearts.... as you travel, live, or do business in our community.

When was the last time you saw a local homegrown vegetable/honey/fruit stand with only a money CAN in attendance? This is what our little valley is all about... good people!
Come on out and get acquainted, we'd love to meet you!

Snow in early March 2008, JN BB goes to STATE!

The weather in our central Texas location is always creative! Snow in March after a day in the 80's. Planting vegetables one day and shoveling snow the next. We love the diversity!
We take great pride in our local volunteer fire department.... and the whole community is backing our boys on their way to state after the girls WIN STATE!!! 2008... GO INDIANS!
You just can't beat a Perini's steak... and the Wine Festival is just around the corner in mid April.
The Abilene State Park is well maintained and has wonderful camping facilities for the entire family.
Whether you choose one of the shelters or one of the campsites, you will not be disappointed with the cleanliness of our park. Come out this summer and enjoy our country! We welcome you with our good ole West Texas charm!
