Hi Jay,

Thanks for the link. That was very interesting. Can you imagine farming 2500 acres? I loved his description of the 'desolate' area he traveled through to reach Carizo Springs. That was a perfect description for that part of the state!

Jay thanks for sharing. My husband grew up in deep South Texas. His sister in law tells hilarious stories about her and her siblings working in the onion fields before school every morning. They reeked of onions all day long, but so did the other kids, so no one cared!

Yes, it's desolate, but beautiful, and the people are wonderful. My husband wants to return to the family ranch for burial. I've teased him I won't be joining him because I don't want to spend eternity with wind-blown grit in my teeth!!!
