Yup… Chocolate covered bacon is like sex. (Maybe better, depending on the skill level of those involved.) They fry everything in Texas: all fish, pickles, bacon, candy bars, mallow pies, strawberry shortcake, cheesecake, oreos, twinkies, s’mores, etc. Y’all know I love a good festival. Since attending some of Texas’ festivals, … But, wait! There’s more…
A petite prayer. A diminutive denomination. It may be small, but it’s cute. (That’s what he said.) Ahem. Size only matters in horseshoes and hand grenades. Wait, I think I have that wrong. Err, uhh, never mind. Moving on… Just as I love both extremes of the phases of the … But, wait! There’s more…
World’s Largest Longhorn One cannot spend any amount of time at all near Austin, Texas without hearing about Longhorns. Yup, they’re a breed of cattle. (see below) But – more importantly to many Texans – the Longhorns are a college football team. Many years ago, I watched football all the … But, wait! There’s more…
With an abundance of my much-missed Starbucks/any coffee shop and health food restaurants, Austin reminds me a bit of many cities in California. And there’s quite a bit of fun, wacky stuff to see in Austin, the capital of Texas – besides the big blue spider butt. This post was … But, wait! There’s more…
Arachnophilia = The love of spiders. I love spiders. They fascinate me – provided they aren’t in my house or on me. Then they terrify me. (That last part is very important… in my house or on me = dead spider. Yes, my love for spiders is fickle.) Do any … But, wait! There’s more…
Most of my adventures and travels center around seeing those weird and the wacky sights you can only find in America. But every now and then I come across something wonderful in my travels, such as the North Rim of the Grand Canyon. While San Antonio’s Riverwalk and the Tower … But, wait! There’s more…
The Natural Bridge Caverns in New Braunfels were my first caverns ever. Yes, I was a “cavern virgin”.
However, unlike that other “first time”, I thought the caverns were great fun. (Don’t worry, I’ve since come to greatly appreciate more than underground caverns. Thank goodness first impressions aren’t always what they seem.)

But, wait! There's more...In the middle of nowhere, just outside of Columbus, Texas, you’ll find a huge general store full of the not-so-general. And a lot of “recycled” (aka “garbage”) art. Started in 2006, the Industrial Country Market, and its many structures, are all self-sustaining and fully “off-grid”. Wandering around the large grounds, … But, wait! There’s more…
It’s a nice little town and all, so why do some people say Luling, Texas is “loopy”? Maybe it’s because of the Watermelon Thump festival where the person who can spit a watermelon seed the farthest wins. Wins what, I don’t know. Sadly, I missed this festival. It could also … But, wait! There’s more…
Remember when I said ‘Texans have big balls‘? Well, they have some really big nuts, too. I went to the nuthouse. I know you’re all thinking, “Well, it’s about time!” No, not as a patient! It was just for a visit thankyouverymuch. Besides, it wasn’t that kind of nuthouse. But … But, wait! There’s more…
