I love NAC-O-NOWHERE!!! What a beautiful drive going out there!
My daddy was born on the kitchen table in Golden, TX. Grandpa was an asbestos worker. My great uncle and great aunt lived in Groesbeck, then Mexia (they knew Anna Nicole Smith's family) and they'd kill a pig every time we went out there. My other great uncle and great aunt lived in Mineola, and my great aunt was the only Avon Lady there for years. Dad and Mom were first generation city folk raising us in the outskirts of Dallas. I grew up going out to the country just about every weekend. One minnow bucket could keep me happy all day long. I learned to kill snakes in the San Saba before we swam. When you hit them in the head right, they spin and roll over, exposing their underbellies. My entire family had it's family reunion every year at the Tyler State Park. We even have an albino in our family. And yes, we do have an entire set of teeth between us. So, yeah, homemade ice cream in the summertime is a big thing in my family.![]()
That's awesome! My family lives in Waco now, so I've been to Mexia and Groesbeck a few times. My whole fam is about to move to Virginia this summer... No more 17 hour drives for me!
