Love me an old movie theater. In Hondo, Texas.

New Fountain is not too far from Quihi. While it looks bigger and more populated than Quihi, it's actually far more spread out. The only vestiges of downtown are what seems to be a hotel and attached general store, both long closed, and a church, which is still active. New Fountain got it's name from a spring that popped up here just as the spring at nearby also-ghost-town Vandenberg dried up.

Quihi, continued....

Today's Adventure in Texas, Parte the Firste.

Quihi is a tiny little town in an out of the way part of Medina County, between Castroville and Hondo. Despite being fairly old, founded in the 1850s, there's not a lot here outside of the general store, historic gun club, a nice church and a collection of old German style pioneer homes.

That was my nickname in high school.

There is hope for rural Texas, yet.

"My heart would lift as I turned the bend
"And saw the lights of home."

It's watching you....

Quiet day today. Mom had a house party last night, and took today to recover. One of the things that's hard to watch is your parents getting older, and realizing they're a lot more tired more quickly than they used to be.

Today's Texas Food: Burger Boy

Whataburger may be the best in Texas, but Burger Boy is the best in San Antonio.

Obligatory post to make my Seattle friends and family jealous.

First time I've ever cooked for a group and in a large quantity. And I think I did pretty good!

Today's Texas Adventure: I've never had Laptop spark when moved before. That's not good.

Fixing up the old computers. They're not powerhouses by any means but Linux Mint seems to be working way better than Windows.

Their names are Tarin, Marin and the other two will likely be Mamasha and Tracy.

Why yes, there's a theme....
