Growing Up In BanderaIt's funny how some of the simple little habits from back in the day will suddenly pop into my head. City folks might not understand because it was a country thing. Recently a friend recalling one such country habit brought a big smile to my morning face as I sipped my first cup of coffee.

Effectively ElenaThere is little in my life as ceremonial and ritualistic as my dark-of-the-dawn latte. Most of the preparatory process is both private and secret, but I will say that it involves heating milk in a pan, old-fashion like Grandmother did and a dollop of Starbucks Irish cream flavoring big enough to ensure that were this to be my last day of life, I’d be cremated in a fragrant blaze.

Book some time at the Bandera LibraryAfter the extensive coverage, it is no longer a secret about the change of directors at the Bandera Public Library. Stop by and say hello to the new Director Mauri Fagan, who has worked here as an assistant librarian. I will move into Director Emeritus status, while on my year-long volunteer assignments at various National Parks. I will end my career at the library the way it all began in 2008, as a volunteer.

Human hair a popular Victorian keepsakeDid you know the Frontier Times Museum has jewelry made from human hair? During the Victorian era of 1800s, a popular pastime was weaving jewelry or objects out of human hair. This may seem a bit ghoulish today, but not so in Victorian times. The time period between the years 1837 and 1901 is referred to as the Victorian era after Queen Victoria of Britain who was quite the trend setter of her day.
