I baked 6 dozen cutout cookies and 3 dozen molasses. I have to do 18 dozen cookies for our Parade of Lights Friday night. I wanted to do a trial run on the molasses as I’ve never made them.

My great grandfather settled in Venus, Texas sometimes in the 1800's. I remember visiting him and some aunts and uncles a lot through the 50's and 60's. Still have some estranged cousins there.

My other side of the family settled in Brenham, Texas in the early 1800's. Had a huge cotton plantation, cotton gin and warehouse, and had a hardware store to boot. After the War, they move to Ballinger, Texas. Dadgum carpet baggers and Federal troops made sure he didn't continue on as before the war.
Became a well known carpenter in the area. Built a rock house as everyone use to like to call it....it was dug out of the high side of the Colorado River! :lau use to visit them when I was really young, loved going fishing on that river just below the house. Had a huge overhang, they called "flat rock". You could drive a car out on it, it was huge. Was my first experince at catching a gar, thought I had a prehistoric fish! :gig
