Enchanted Springs Ranch

 On Sunday, I visited Enchanted Springs Ranch in Boerne, TX. The ranch has been used for a number of movies and hosts other activities. On this Sunday, they hosted a live Nativity Scene, including sheep, goats, camels, etc.
There was live music, food, wagon rides, etc.
Here I am sitting on Woodrow, one of the resident long-horned cattle on the ranch.
I hope you all had a Merry Christmas.
Warmest regards, Gus

Blue Bell Creameries

 Today I toured the Blue Bell Creameries in Brenham, TX. I got to watch them make and package ice cream, but the best part of the tour was the opportunity to taste the ice cream. I couldn't taste all the flavors, but I sure tried!

The tour guide said it takes 60,000 cows to provide enough milk to supply the creameries to make the ice cream and treats. Blue Bell Ice Cream is now distributed to stores in 22 states. I don't think this bronze cow I am sitting on gives any milk.
 Warmest regards, Gus
