Age is only a number.

The Citadelle Art Museum

Aging is a beautiful thing, and so is art.

As we age, art does more than just fill our days—it keeps our minds sharp, helps us express our emotions, and connects us with others. Whether you’re painting, sculpting, or simply enjoying viewing art, these moments create space for reflection, joy, and even healing.

So if you ever feel like you’ve missed your chance to create, know this: it’s never too late to start. Sign up for our Master Class on November 12 at 6 PM. We're hosting a MasterClass with Cheyenne-Arapaho artists Brent Learned and George Levi.

Only $20 per person covers all supplies, snacks, and drinks. Seats are filling up fast. Reserve yours at thecitadelle.org.

Something so beautiful about the desert.

Just outside Terlingua, Texas.

My family rented a cabin there a few years ago and spent one night as part of the first (and only) two week vacation I've ever been on.

If I'd known then what I know now, I would have planned things differently to make sure we got to spend at least two days and nights in Terlingua - maybe three. We hiked around a bit, saw an amazing sunset, then saw the Milky Way with nothing but our eyes after dark. (There's virtually no light pollution, so you step outside, and as soon as your eyes adjust, it's just there - everywhere.)

The desert landscape there is amazing, and there's stuff like this out there too.

If you get a chance, you should definitely spend a day and night there. Maybe two...or three.

Best obituary I’ve read in a while. True character.

‘We have all done our best to enjoy/weather Robert's antics up to this point, but he is God's problem now.’

What a neat occurrence.

Many of you know Alessandro Dona, who is our foreign exchange student from Turin, Italy. Ale has fit in perfectly at our school and in our community. He’s adjusted so well to our lifestyle, with every experience for him being something brand new.

Last night, we played JV football at Jayton. They also have a foreign exchange student from Italy. Before the game, the two had the chance to meet and unbelievably, their student is from Turin as well. After a few broken words in English to each other, the Italian quickly started to flow. Turin, Italy has a population of almost 900,000, so they didn’t know each other before last night.

Two kids, over 5,000 miles from home, who chose to move to a couple of tiny towns in west Texas, had the chance to connect while playing a game they’ve never played before, in a way that none of us can connect with them. What a special moment!

"What is the Llano Estacado?

The “Staked Plains” or “Stockaded Plains” is roughly the size of the state of Indiana. It encompasses both the Texas Panhandle and eastern New Mexico and within its borders are major cities such as Lubbock, Amarillo, Midland, Portales, and Clovis.

Geographically it is a 37,500 square mile plateau or “Tableland” that has a distinctive flatness, defined by canyons that create its borders. Despite its flat appearance, the Llano Estacado is an impressive 3000 feet above sea level on its eastern edge and 4000 feet on its Western edge, leading some to call the massive land formation 'An Island in the Sky.'

The Llano Estacado was once a vast grassland, home to nomadic tribes of Comanche and Apache who hunted the roaming Bison and Antelope. Today the land is used primarily for growing cotton, ranching beef, and oil production.

The Llano Estacado is the land we call ‘home’. It is a land with a rich history, a quiet presence, and an endless horizon.”

🫤 love me some early morning daylight.

Welcome to August! We know it is hot, but we are closer to fall. With that we will see a decline in the span of daylight over the next 31 days. The sunrises will get later and sunsets earlier, amounting to 40-60 minutes of lost daylight by the end of August depending on where you are in !
