Cruising along on Sunday's drive. This is the way my daughter Ashlyn gets to her boyfriend's house, also known as her second home. I didn't know of this backway and she was correct, it's my kind of road! I could live here, if only my kids wouldn't complain about changing schools ;)
Also, if you are interested in this sort of thing, want to share a little genealogy with you! My husband's ancestor, Daniel Cloud fought at The Alamo. A friend of mine was just there over the weekend and brought a pamphlet home to me with a quote from Daniel Cloud! You can see it HERE on my genealogy blog! How exciting!
It is a lovely house!
ReplyDeleteWow. This is the very definition of "pastoral". A wonderful composition.
ReplyDeleteIt must have been exciting tio hear this news about your ancestor! I've visited the Alamo--very interesting historical site.
ReplyDeleteThat's one that I haven't seen, nice house.
ReplyDeleteGood find on the ancestor, I recently found a magazine article on one of mine, it is amazing what is out there and nobody in the family knew.
What a great capture in 'time'!!! I too enjoy a nice 'back road' drive…..your daughter knows you well. SO cool about the ancestry find!
ReplyDeleteWonderful looking house, and exciting news indeed about Daniel Cloud!
ReplyDeleteVery nice Tanya, and it even has a guest house :))
ReplyDeletei like the chinked log side on that house! very cool about the quote. :)
ReplyDeleteWell that's pretty darn cool about your hubby's ancestory. Hard to live that down, as his wife. lol.
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice place. Looks like my kind of drive too! Neat about the Alamo ancestor.
ReplyDeleteHow cool about the quote in the pamphlet! I really like this big old house, very pretty! :)
ReplyDeleteCool find! And definitely neat to find a family link to the Alamo.
ReplyDeletewe just visited the Alamo - i know this totally has nothing to do with what i am going to tell ya ..but if you ever visited be prepared to not be allowed to take pics inside the ALAMO ... such a letdown for me ... i was super sad over that ... ruined my whole trip there. GRR .. me not happy about that. sad face. ) :
ReplyDeleteon a happy note you can take pics outside at the Alamo ... but still not totally happy. at least you can take pics in the (at) OTHER MISSIONS in Texas. Happy Note. ( :
A nice house!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to see the Alamo myself some day.
When I visited the Alamo is was closed :(. They were having a Fiesta that day...oh well. Love the shot, Tanya!
ReplyDeleteI just love white farm houses like this.
ReplyDeleteI really like the house! I'd be happy to live there :)
ReplyDeleteI could totally live in that house and be your neighbor! It looks like my kind of place.
ReplyDeleteGreat looking home.
ReplyDeleteI would have pulled off the road and jumped out of my car if I had come across this scene!
ReplyDeleteThat's a beautiful place!
ReplyDeleteI love the contrast between the two buildings.
