Sam and I plan to tour Texas for the rest of our lives.
We'll be happy to share our experiences on the road.
With difficulty, I have persuaded him to stay in hotels
instead of living in a Winnebago or houseboat!
August 5, 2000
We had a great time in Crystal Beach
. Sam learned a great deal about salt-water fishing.
Samuel landed a big catfish when surf-fishing. We didn't know
whether it was edible or not. Anyone out there know?
Sherm (our collie) went with us. He thought the sea was
great fun, as long as he wasn't in it. What a chicken!

On our recent return from Plano, we experienced Sam's Restaurant in Fairfield. The buffet was great! The Mexican food had an authentic flair. 
The other barbeque place that Sam loves is right here in Houston: Larry's Barbeque | We recently went swimming in the Rio Frio in West Texas near Camp Alto Frio. Great place to chill! True to its name, the temperature is a good deal cooler than the sizzling Texas air. We saw catfish and rainbow trout swimming in the clear water beneath our feet. |
Update July 15: Sam and I travelled with the Youth and sponsors to Alto Frio, a beautiful Christian camp near Leaky, TX. He and I played hooky. Here's what we saw: Fredericksburg: Bandero | Pioneer Museum What a hoot! Items from private collections including a two-headed goat, 15th century wooden throne. Many items labeled simply, "Very Old." Kerrville | The Cowboy Artist's Museum Authentic art by real cowboys-- beautiful! Horses, Indians, wagon trains, Painting, bronze sculpture. This is an art museum even my husband enjoyed.  Adam's Apple in Medina--Yummy treats and cute stuff The apple turnovers were flaky and fresh. We bought Julie a shirt with apples on it. Next week: | Family Vacation in Port Bolivar. We're staying in Fred Poulter's lovely beach cabin. I'm sure we'll eat at Stingaree, our favorite restaurant on the peninsula. The seafood is always fresh. Last trip, we had 20 people. Stingaree took our orders that afternoon and had them on the table withing 10 minutes of our arrival.
Lake Travis--the best place | for floating on clean lake water. I highly recommend the tube treatment. |
