We left the small town of Sanderson heading towards Big Bend, but had to stop to check out the amazing selection of lawn ornaments on display at the Z Bar Trading Company. Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on how you look at it) they were not…
Heading West We left Waco and headed south to Boerne, where my cousin, Betty and her husband Stuart live. We spent an enjoyable evening with them, enjoying one of the cool local restaurants for dinner and then breakfast the next day. Boerne is a small…
