Beautiful Fall Day in Bosque County

The morning air has a cool crispness to it which adds a spring to our step and energizes our creativity. The green Spirit Flags are out on the street, flapping in the soft breeze as the ladies go into the "Chat n' Curl" next door for their hair do's for the weekend. They come out smelling of shampoo and hair spray, ready for dinner at the American Legion Hall on Friday night , shopping trips on Saturday and church service on Sunday morning. Friday night there is a special treat on main street as the White Horse Station will have it's monthly live music with Ken West and Timmy Kleine, and the Band. They offer a variety of music from Western to rock and roll. We all go the the American Legion Hall for a great Steak dinner then converge on the Station for dessert and a night of good music, dancing and socializing. We do that a lot ,actually, for the Station is a wonderful meeting place where we drink good coffee, eat ice-cream and catch up on the latest developments in our community. There is always talk of which buildings are being renovated and who plans to open what and then of course POLITICS...Clifton like every other small town is a hub bub of possibilities as we strive to strike a balance between progress/growth and maintaining status quo. Quality of Life is important to us all however as we grapple with the challenges of life inthe 21st century in a small rural community. The newcomers and the old-timers work alongside each other in an effort to better the quality of life for all and to preserve the heritage which the early settlers strove to provide. For all of us "Life is Great When You Live it in Clifton".
