Texas Independence Day

March 2. Texas Independence Day

We are fortunate enough to live only 30 miles from

Washington on the Brazos State Park.

It is such a beautiful place!

Every year they celebrate Texas with a huge event that we try to attend.

My husband's family has supported this historical

event and place for many years.

My husband's grandmother and grandfather befriended a dear man

years ago in Austin. He was a struggling artist.

Jon's grandparents bought the artist his first art set.

After many years of friendship, Charles Normann- the struggling artist,

gave several pieces of artwork to Jon's grandparents

in which the familyhas since then donated to the State Park's museum.

One of these is the famous text book painting of the

signing of the declaration.

This year Washington on the Brazos honored Texas by having

artists from all over create individual panels to recreate

this particular painting.

It was beautiful!

What an honorable event for our family!

My father-in-law had the privilege to introduce one

of our state representatives.

I know that it was an honor to just be there.

Unveiling the new painting was exciting!

Then of course we had to stop here!

Right around the corner is a great BBQ restaurant.

R Place- right on the Washington Square

And of course the best ice cream- Blue Bell!


How could you pass this up!



I love this shelf! So organized and white!
It made the inside of the restaurant feel so cozy.


God Bless Texas!
