Hey y'all...this is a collection of links I have found relating to my former home, Austin, Texas!! Texas is called the Lone Star State as you can see from their flag!

John and I moved here in August of 1998 and we loved this city. We moved along to Denver, Colorado in May of 2007 but it was a difficult decision to make because there was still a lot to love about this Texas town.

Austin is a beautiful city at the eastern edge of the Texas Hill Country. It has plenty of trees, flowers and wildlife. There is so much to see and do in Austin. This is a collection of some of our favourites.

Adams Extract Company => If you have ever baked using vanilla extract, you have probably used Adams!
