Memorial Day

Glen Rose, Texas

Weather: low 67 degrees, high 96 degrees, clear skies

Today is an important day as we remember the sacrifices that have been made for our nation by the people who have served in the armed forces. The next time we vote (or not), or go wherever we want when we want, or complain about our government, and enjoy all the other freedoms we have, we should remember the people who make it possible for us. And remember most of all the ones who made the ultimate sacrifice.



This was a slow day for us, but that didn't mean we didn't do anything. Carolyn wanted to go through our closet, and by the time we were finished, a number of clothing articles had been removed and gotten rid of. I have no idea why we still had those things. It's like I said a couple of days ago, maybe we'll have a lean and mean RV in about five years.

Glen Rose draws a lot of tourists to see the living history that is present here. The area around the courthouse is one of the most scenic we have seen. In the past few years, Glen Rose has added to the list of things to draw tourists by developing the Paluxy Heritage Park, where some of the older buildings from the early days of the county have been restored. A good example is the first permanent dwelling that was built here in the 1870s.



This is one of the first schoolhouses that were built in Glen Rose. It was built in 1903, and was typical of the one room schools that were found in little towns back in that time.



Another attraction that Glen Rose has in the summer is Big Rock Park, where there is a swimming area. There were a lot of people using the swimming hole today. Looks cool.



And finally, here's a picture of some roses that I saw at Paluxy Heritage Park.



More later, be safe.
