Cabot Spends Time in Fort Worth, TX

I spent some time in Fort Worth, Texas between March and July of this year.

I got to see the wonderful musical Cats!

Here I am with Deuteronomy. Isn't he wonderful?

In addition to the characters in the musical I got to meet some real cats too. This is my friend, Jack. I met him at a cat show in Houston.

I also met this lady. She's a python who lives in Waco.

I went to the Fort Worth Arboretum. Aren't these pansies pretty?

I'm getting hungry!

After the Arboretum it was time for a refreshing beverage! Hmmm, Long Island Iced Tea?

Or English beer?

Beer it is! Delicious.

While in Fort Worth I got to celebrate Litha. Litha is a major Sabbat. It's also known as the Summer Solstice or Midsummer. This is a Pagan altar.




Thanks so much to my hostess. I had a wonderful time in Texas!

Cabot Visits Seguin, Texas

 Earlier this summer I went to Seguin, Texas. The town was named after Juan Seguin.

Seguin (/sɨˈɡiːn/ sə-gheen) is a city in and the county seat of Guadalupe County, Texas.  Seguin is one of the oldest towns in Texas. It was founded just 16 months after Texas won independence, and the frontier settlement was a cradle of the Texas Rangers.  See this link for more history: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seguin,_Texas

Seguin is the Pecan Capital of Texas.

I'm visiting the Stremple Farm. 

The Stremple farm has been a working farm since the early 1950's.

You could get lost in here.

Is the corn very big, or am I just very small?

Isn't it beautiful among the sunflowers?

What a wonderful visit to a beautiful place.

The University of Texas at Austin

My hostess took me to the University Of Texas at Austin. What a magnificent campus! Founded in 1883 the main campus sits on 350 acres in downtown Austin.

Here I am in front of the Main Building which opened in 1937. The UT Tower lights up orange for their various wins, both academic and athletic.

I'm with Cesar Chaves on the UT Campus. Cesar Chaves Estrada (March 31, 1927-April 23, 1993) was a Mexican American farm worker, labor leader, and civil rights activist who co-founded the National Farm Workers Association, which later became the United Farm Workers.

Me with Barbara Jordan on the UT Campus - Barbara Charline Jordan (February 21, 1936-January 17, 1996) was a politician from Texas. She served as a congresswoman in the United States House of Representatives from 1973-1979. She was the first African-American female from a southern state to serve in the House.

This gorgeous house is The Littlefield Home. Built in 1893 for $50,000, it stands on the west side of The University of Texas at Austin campus. It's said to be haunted - read more at http://www.utexas.edu/features/archive/2002/littlefield.html

Austin, Texas

Welcome to Austin, Texas! This state capitol is a lovely town with much to see and do.Here I am in front of the Texas State Capitol - located in Austin, TX. It is the largest, but not the tallest, state capitol building in the United States. They do say everything is bigger in Texas ;)

I'm in front of the Bob Bullock Texas State History Museum. It is owned by the State of Texas dedicated to telling "The Story of Texas." It is named after former Texas Lieutenant Governor Bob Bullock.

Me on 6th Street!! Likely Texas' best known street - 6th Street is the heart of Austin's live entertainment scene and the capital of third coast music. Read more at http://www.6street.com/6s_pg_about.htm
