As I pulled into Hominy and headed to Buck's Eats & Treats for some coffee and laptop work, this little beauty above caught my eye. I loved the way the American flag popped off the paint colors on this home. I passed by but then just had to turn around. There's something to be said for the view from the Brick Streets. Many small towns have streets of brick peeking through asphalt patches or in stretches along a side street. There they are - holding up under the pressure and standing the test of time...Can you imagine the labor involved in laying these pathways that could tell of horse and buggy days along with Model T traffic? Here they are - still strong as "Blackie" (my little car) and I took a spin down them in Hominy today.These bricks have been neighbors to homes of shiplap and stone foundations for most of a century, if not more. It reminds me of an old Merle Haggard song about a Ford and a Chevy lasting ten years, "like they should." I would say the shiplap and brick would hold to the same sentiments Merle sang about. There's just something to be said for a job well-done that lasts. It's a testament to its builders and to its laborers. Nail by nail, brick by brick - something good was going on in Hominy back in the day...Maybe it was fueled by the oil boom...Or maybe by the church...The Frederick Drummond Historic Home on Price Ave. is available for tours. But, one thing is for sure - those builders and bricklayers of yesteryear left a legacy that still stands today and speaks, not from the rubble - but from the excellence.When you're out scouting Osage County - I want to invite you to "take to the Brick Streets" in our communities where you'll be encouraged that America is alive and well in Oklahoma where patriotism lives on.
