Used to cost 2.50 to $5.00meals included to stay the night there in the 1800s.
An unheard of price when everyone else was charging 50 cents to a dollar meals included.
The pace was alost tiorne down at one time and was saved at the very last minut.
You can read more here is you wish.

The big building with the pointed tops is the Frost Bank Tower.

I have been to the top out on the roof with the points.
Was also the project superintendent for the fire alarm system when it was built.

We have four new babies in the cow field. The mothers make them lay down and stay on a pile of old hay while they graze. It's baby cow day care:

Sounds like a successful year for breeding program. Newborns, and really any calves are my favorites.. They look like happy campers Cole.

I can never eat chickens/hen from my grandma coop. They were fed by hand and I just...
Eggs is different. BTW, whan my granny had her own chicks and some were baby roosters we did cook them. I was fine with that, fighting little beasts, had no problem with eating them.
sorry
