My great great great (plus or minus a great) grandmother Sexton. My Mom is impressed that 1) she could read, and 2) she is wearing two pairs of glasses.  Legend has it that she died at the age of 90 after falling off a horse, on her way to deliver a baby. Gotta admire a woman like that.

Awesome cousin Coy,. his amazingly cool wife Heather, and me on the ferry to Mustang Island

Oddly, we lived here weekends for some 13 years, and we have more paintings than photographs.
