On day 3 of our Texas Independence Trail Region tour, we left La Porte and took the long way around to Bolivar Peninsula so we could ride the Galveston-Port Bolivar Ferry. Debbie had never ridden on a ferry so I thought we should give it a go. And, I mean, free ferry ride, who am…

Exploring the Texas Independence Trail Region – Day 2
We started day 2 of our Texas Independence Trail Region tour, loading up on delicious kolaches at the Original Kountry Bakery in Schulenburg, part of the Texas Kolache Trail. If you’re wondering what a kolache is, check out this post from Feeling Foodish. While the quaint little town of Round Top is indeed something to…
Exploring the Texas Independence Trail Region – Day 1
Last summer, I had the crazy idea to drive the perimeter of the entire state of Texas over eight nights and nine days. Click here to read about the trip starting from the beginning. Last fall after many months of going nowhere, I made the decision to explore the 10 Texas Historical Commission’s Heritage Trail…
Snakes. Why did it have to be snakes?
Having heard many times about the Sweetwater Jaycees Rattlesnake Roundup in the past, my husband, Dan, REALLY wanted to go this year. Since we’re in San Angelo, it’s an easy hour and a half drive. I have to admit, I was not as enthusiastic as he was, as I’m far from being a snake enthusiast….
Texas-Sized Hearts Come Through During A Texas-Sized Storm
Unless you’ve been living under a rock over the past 10 days, you probably heard about the recent winter storm that covered all 254 Texas counties. From what I’ve read, it’s a first for ALL of our state to be under a weather event at the same time. For those of you from Texas who…
The Shape of Texas – Literally
January was a long month for my husband and me. We both dealt with a few weeks of having Covid so, needless to say, I wasn’t blogging much. During that time, I did get to think about things and, as always, my beloved Lone Star State filled my head, particularly the shape of it. Let’s…
Setting Goals as Big as Texas for 2021
I don’t know about you but for decades I have made resolutions at the beginning of a new year. I always have good intentions of following through with them. Invariably, those resolutions go by the wayside. As I sit in my home in San Angelo, I’ve given some thought to where I would like to…
My Texas Culinary Holiday Gift Guide
A couple of weeks ago, I shared a gift guide of Texas items for the holidays. I didn’t include culinary options so I thought I’d do a part two gift guide, but this time only focusing on the great eats of Texas. I encourage you to Eat in the Heart of Texas and share your…
Traveling the Texas Forts Trail Region
If you’ve been following along with my blog, you’ll know I initially started it when I went with my friends Debra and Morgan on a perimeter tour of the great state of Texas, which was featured on Texas County Reporter. A few weeks later, my husband, two dogs, and I took a trip around Brewster…
Our Virtual Weekend around the Texas Lakes Trail Region
I LOVE to travel. I could go somewhere weekly, even if it’s just for a drive on a great Texas road for no particular reason. My husband and I have done that pretty often throughout our marriage. Camera in hand, I snap photos as we take in the wonderful scenery across the state. In fact,…
