Just read your msg to Lori. You are so lucky to be living where our family lived so many years ago. Not to mention on the land itself. I can only imagine what you think when you walk around your grounds. The pride, the humbleness, the looking back on yesterday. Just thought I would tell you I think you are lucky. One day I hope to leave Texas and see it for my self. Till then I have to contend myself to learning all I can about the life and ways of our ancestors.
