My grandmother talked about traveling to
Muleshoe, Texas on a wagon
when she was a child. She may have visited it,
again, when she was at West Texas Normal College in Canyon, Texas. In any case,
I was enamored with the name of this town and wondered what mule lost its shoe
there. As we headed to New Mexico, I was surprised when that tiny town popped
up on our GPS. Of course we had to make a stop.
