Actually I have come to realize that the Princess cares for me. As for me, I love her dearly. She has now decided that perhaps she needs to worry about me. What ever took her so long to get to that point is beyond me.

That's great

My DIL is from Texas. She says that's not true.

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! 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!

Yea, them gars 0p]pare pretty good fighters. I latched onto one once in Pecan Plantation. Can't call the name of that river running thru there, too near bed time. But that fish went up and down the river a couple of times without ever topping the water where I could see what it was before I finally got him close enough where I reached down to grab the line and pull out whatever it was. I'm telling you a gar what looked like as long as my leg shot up out of that water snapping at me like he meant business. I just about did some business in my britches .

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.

I would like to live for a little while in the 1800's!

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.

That sounds sooooo much better then chicken "paws"!!!
