Today, we are returning to the Lakeway Storybook walk’s Black History Month exhibit. If you missed the first you can go HERE and catch up. I have to let you know the photos were a challenge. It was overcast but the glass fronts on the enclosures reflected all the trees. I did my best but some are marginal. We are catered by Garrison of Austin and our entertainment is Louis Armstrong.

Lets get on the bus.

I was a double major in college-English and history (with actually more credits in history) but figured that English had a bit more job prospects than history. I did not aspire to a career that included “Do you want fries with that?”
