Metal Sculpture - November 2011


Then, Mark was looking at the old rusty satellite dish post in the side yard and wanted to turn it into a metal sculpture.  He discussed it with Bert and they began looking around for some scrap metal.  The only thing they found was small amount of barbed wire

 

The next morning, Bert was into town and found a shop with just the thing.  They measured the hoop on the post and found the perfect thing.  It was secured to the hoop with the barbed wire.  Bea was delighted with her new work of art.  The really cool thing?  Bea is a full-fledged member in good standing of the Daughters of the Republic of Texas meaning that she can trace her family roots in Texas back to 1836.  Some of us still believe it should be a Republic....

 

If any of you need a short getaway this place is awesome and friendly.  Check out www.friolodging.com.  Leann and Anthony run this particular enterprise for 22 years.  I have been visiting the hill country since the early 80's and each time I go I wish I could stay longer!
