I do have fun with my animals! And I never thought I would get into chickens like I have. My favorite time of day is when I let them out of their run and they run straight for their favorite scratching spot. They crack me up!
A&M isn't far from me. I'm on the east side of Austin and College Station is about an hour and 15 min from me.
I've never been to May, but I have driven through Brownwood many times on the way home to Austin from Lubbock (I lived there for over 8 years).
