2025 Mar 14, Signal Museum, Texas Roadhouse and Gabe's


Grilled Pork Chop with Sweet Potato 

Hubby and I rode to Huntsville, stopping at Texas Roadhouse in Huntsville for lunch. Spent $47.26. 

I ordered a grilled pork chop with sweet potato, Caesar salad, rolls with cinnamon butter, and iced tea. 

Hubby ordered a Fort Worth steak with sweet potato, salad, and iced tea. 

We rode to the Signals Museum, a newly opened museum of information exploration. It is a Tech museum before tech. Spent 26 dollars. 


Signals Museum 

It is a hands-on museum full of new and old technology.

We experienced Benjamin Franklin catching lightning in a bottle. 

We learned about Abraham Lincoln's use of the telegraph.

We learned about transmitters and how hand-cranked telephones worked. 

We saw the operations of connecting a community through a switchboard. 

We learned about music, recordings, and radio stations.

We learned about Edison's light bulb.

We saw and learned about the first televisions and computers.

We sat inside a radio station. So much to see and learn. 



1947 Entertainment Center 

We stopped at Huntsville's Veterans Park. 

There was not a soul in sight as I walked through the park, taking pictures. I had not seen a few new displays the last time I visited the park. 

The Aviator Statue.

The Wounded Warrior Combat Medic Statue.

The Purple Heart Monument.

The Alabama Gold Star Families Memorial Monument.

The Battlefield Memorial.

In Honor of the Revolutionary Soldier buried in Madison County.


Madison County Veterans Memorial Park


We stopped at Big Spring Park, where I took photos of ducks, birds, and fish. 

It was a beautiful day with flowers and trees blooming. The sun was shining. 

People fed the ducks, birds, and fish. Some relaxed while others briskly walked in the park. 

We stopped at Gabe's in Madison, where we bought two-yard flags, a cover for my backyard chair, a small earring case, Cokes, and candy. 

Spent $73.76

THE CIRCLE OF LIFE

Sitting on my deck
A way to stretch my neck
The tall grass constantly waving 
Like a ship being tossed about.
The trees reach out their limbs
 Their leaves flutter
To say, “Take my hand.”
Annoying fly’s landing
Writing in this journal.
Birds call out
To their neighbors
“I am home”
The turtle creeps along
Cleaning the swimming pool.
Cars and trucks of every shape and size
Traveling along with life’s highway
 Are they listening to the radio?
Or Talking on their cells?
God’s in all his glory!
The living trees, the swaying grass,
Birds singing, flying insects, busy people
As I sit here talking to God.
Everything has a purpose,

The circle of life.
