This afternoon we drove down to La Grange to watch the Serbin Jackrabbits community baseball team take on the Weimar Vets. The Jackrabbits won the game 11-1, and next week they’ll be playing the Shiner Clippers in the first game of the playoffs.

In fact, it’s the 173rd one they’ve had, which means they got started a mere five years after Texas became part of the United States, and also about five years after folks really started to settle
Today’s photo drive was special… it’s also our sixth anniversary. We started with lunch at the Thorndale Meat Market… an old favorite that I’ve visiting since the summer of 2016. After that we covered roads in Milam and Williamson Counties (plus a little bit of Bell County) before returning to Giddings. Today’s subject matter seems
