If I wanted a more historic visit to Austin, I should have selected another museum to visit, but that would require a lot more walking or trying to find a place to park. The Museum of Weird was only a short walk, and it is weird. Upstairs features a wax museum. The people the operate the museum are awesome. There is a gift shop where you can purchase your own weird merchandise.
A new coloring page is available for downloading. The Color Not Coloring Page would be good for coloring or as a string for Zentangle designs.
Below is an example of how I colored the Color Not.
It is here! The long-awaited post of an outside adventure with beautiful pictures. I finally had the opportunity to visit Palo Duro Canyon, which is in Canyon, Texas. It is the second largest canyon in the United States. I was told it is a lot greener this year because of all the rain. While reviewing the pictures I took, I believe they all can out beautiful especially because of the blue, blue sky.
Here are twelve of the pictures I took.
I plan to explore the canyon again, there is so many trails and many adventures available.
Dr Pepper was created by Charles Alderton in Waco, Texas and first served in 1885. Today, it is sold worldwide. It has a long history; it started in a Pharmacy and was first manufactured in this building.
These are the people credited with making the tasty soda.
Typically, Dr. Pepper is either the first or second choice when someone wants a soda. Their bottles are recognizable, but not nearly as iconic as the Coke-a-cola bottles.
The museum is located in downtown Waco and was able to withstand the F5 tornado that stuck Waco on May 11, 1953.
There is a well on the property that was used to supply the water for making the beverages.
Advertisement has always been a large part of selling a product. Besides the ads, advertising included the packaging and the placement of the trademark on coolers, displays, and delivery vehicles.
If you are in Waco, it is worth a visit to the Dr. Pepper Museum.
Another park in Georgetown, TX. This was behind the hotel I was staying in. It was a gloomy day and I capture these photos between sprinkles of rain. The area where the park resides was owned by the Shell family in the 1800’s. On the outskirts of the park, there is a large condominium development, with decent architecture. Tree limbs were down around Georgetown and the Austin area, because a week before an ice storm hit that area breaking limbs and powerlines.
Blue Hole Park is located in Georgetown, TX, which is north of Austin. These pictures were taken in February, before May rains and before everything started to bloom.
The Amarillo Zoo is probably the best small zoo I have ever visited. It has a wide variety of animals for being small. Don’t expect to get a lot of exercise walking around, but there is a lot to see.
Wildcat Bluff Nature Center in located in Amarillo, Texas. It has three main nature trails that are under a mile to the windmill. There are other trails, paths, that you can take around the area. It is open year around, and what a difference 3 months makes.
No matter what time of year it is, it is well worth the hike to see this view.
The windmill is the meeting point for the three main trails.
Such a beautiful area.
We moved! Well at least part of the site has moved, and it been an adventure that has lasted several weeks. I decided to move some of my artwork, or what I consider works of art to a new site named sarahcath.art. I know the domain name isn’t very exciting but describes what is being hosted on that site.
On the new site, sarahcath.art, you can find my drawings, paintings, and wood projects. Along with all my travels and everything related to technology, this site will continue to host the coloring pages, plastercraft houses, and my clay projects. If you would like to continue to see my artwork, you are welcome to follow my art site.
More adventure coming soon, but here is a little look at the past adventures.
I am usually out of town when the when the Nebraska State Fair rolls around. This year I made it back into town just in time for its very last day. The Nebraska State Fair isn’t just about the carnival rides, its mainly about 4H and FFA. There is livestock, food, crafts, woodworking, quilt and many more competitions. There are food vendors and other vendors displaying their merchandise, entertainers, and concerts. Here are some pictures from the fair:
