Time to head for home

The time is here for us to go back to Montgomery and spend some time with the children and grandchildren. We'll be there through the Christmas holiday period and then we'll be back in Texas for the rest of the winter.

Jerry has finished her landscape job of planting cactus all over the park and it really looks good.

It's hard to cover a long parade on just one journal. I hope you enjoy this as much as I do. The Hill Country can really grow on you.

Bandera Texas Cowboy Capital of the World

We drove about 60 miles from Fredericksburg to Bandera Texas the Cowboy Capital of the World. This is something big for a town with a population of only 957 to say but it's true.

Bandera was founded about 150 years ago and it is well suited to grow all sorts of crops, raise cattle, goats and sheep. The soil is fertile and the area is blessed with several clear clean rivers to provide water for crops and drinking water too.

We came to observe the famous Bandera parade which is held each Labor Day weekend. This one began about 9:30AM and ended about 4:00PM.
