Dr Pepper Museum

Dr Pepper was created by Charles Alderton in Waco, Texas and first served in 1885. Today, it is sold worldwide. It has a long history; it started in a Pharmacy and was first manufactured in this building.

These are the people credited with making the tasty soda.

Typically, Dr. Pepper is either the first or second choice when someone wants a soda. Their bottles are recognizable, but not nearly as iconic as the Coke-a-cola bottles.

The museum is located in downtown Waco and was able to withstand the F5 tornado that stuck Waco on May 11, 1953.

There is a well on the property that was used to supply the water for making the beverages.

Advertisement has always been a large part of selling a product. Besides the ads, advertising included the packaging and the placement of the trademark on coolers, displays, and delivery vehicles.

If you are in Waco, it is worth a visit to the Dr. Pepper Museum.

Flower Blog

I haven’t travel due to ice and snow on the ground. May art and craft projects remain incomplete because it is to cold to varnish them. Since I taken a lot of pictures, go check out my flower blog.  Up Close to Flowers

Some of these photos were taken at Home Depot, outside of grocery stores, or anywhere where the flowers caught my attention.

Sunrise, from Hotel Parking Lots

Some people stay at a hotel until it is time to check out.  Me I wake up and get going.  One of benefit is I get to see a lot of sunrises.  Here are the pictures I took from the hotel parking lot.  I saw a bunch more sunrises.  No pictures because I was driving.

Do You See?

After many days of heavy rain, the sun finally came out. I parked my car in front of a fence and noticed animals peering from the soaked fence.

Bear

Deer

Do you think the home owner would let me cut them from the wood?

Last one, eye.

Sand Hill Crane

March and April it is prime time to view Sand Hill Cranes in Nebraska. The best viewing time is early morning or evening. In Nebraska, at that time of year it is cold and it can be very cold, and windy – really windy. I cannot envision me taking that particular adventure because I like warm weather and sunshine.

However, when walking through a Mall I will walk through there free display recognizing the Sand Hill Cranes.
