I have been working on www.txbeautiful.com today to get some content loaded.  It is a large state with lots to put in and I haven’t left Austin yet!  That city has always been one of my favorites, not that I have spent much time there, just been to the capital grounds and toured them and was facinated by the way the put the administrative buildings underground, with sky lights, to make sure the Capitol is what people see, what stands out.

Now I have found out about some of the museums, the Governor’s Mansion and more.  Interesting.  The Governor’s Mansion had a huge fire in June which is so sad.  They are trying to salvage all they can and rebuild but when you have the fourth oldest continuiously lived in Governor’s Mansion in the US and the oldest west of the Mississippi, which was built originally for $14,500, it really is sad to have to rebuild with new products and not be able to save the historical construction of the building.  And you can bet your booty that it will cost many hundreds of times more than $14,500 to rebuild!

Since family has some connection to Texas it has been fun to work on it.  Wonder how many of the things I will write about Mom and Dad had a chance to see, or my brother and his wife.  Interesting
