Warrenton, Texas 2010...


Welcome to my World in Warrenton, Texas. I had intended to take more pictures of everything like I did last time, blog more, etc., but I had to go to Warrenton with a very heavy heart. My only child, my son, passed away on March 1. I went to Warrenton on the 14th! His birthday was the 31st of March. I won't say more, but I thought I needed to have an explanation as to why I didn't do the usual blogging. I am just now getting around to adding anything to my blog, but I think things will be picking up. It certainly keeps me occupied.

Historic Town of Warrenton, Texas


































Well today I drove all over Warrenton, Texas taking these pictures of old historic buildings. There is Zapp Hall, historic meeting hall. I am sure lots went on in that old Hall in the late 1800's as at historic Renck Hall and the Legal Tender Saloon. The old Harmonia Hall used to be a meeting hall, dance hall, then a skating rink back in the 50's. It has wonderful old hardwood floors that display primitive and antiques wonderfully. Such tales that Hall could tell as all of the historic Meeting Halls in historic Warrenton, Texas. All of the windows on the buildings "let out" or fold out for ventilation. They are just as they were when originally built. I have taken some pictures of some of the older homes with their gingerbread decor and plants that grown abundantly here. Lots of wild vines, tropical plants, several palms, and moss on the trees. One tree in particular I wish you could see up close and personal because it is awesomely big and beautiful. The buildings are dwarfed against it. It has many large branches that spread wide.
