This is a picture of the Mill Pond Park dam. They were working on the dam when we were there and the water wasn't running over it. Years ago, there wasn't a guard rail there and one had to step on the stepping stones to get across it. Toni's Dad proposed to her Mom while they were crossing and told her that if she didn't accept, he would throw her over the edge. She accepted.
The old mill where the park got its name.
Swimming pool where Clay learned to swim. We were farming with my Dad at the time and Toni would take Clay into town to learn to swim.
The folks in San Saba County are extremely nice. Everyone drives pickups but most of them will wave at a couple of old folks driving a Jeep!
We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and would love to move back there but reality causes us to face the fact...................Midlothian will still be our home.
