What a fitting name for a sailboat. I looked up the full definition: A piece of music sung or played in the open air, typically by a man at night under the window of his lover. I really loved the time I spent on my sailboat. I don't have one anymore but I think about it often.
This is Dana. I worked with her on some volunteer projects. Haven't seen her in a long time so I stuck her in this picture so I can she her again..:)
Still working from home. Kinda lonely but I'm saving a lot of money on gas. Restaurants are really struggling. But, oddly enough, a new one opened up on the east side last weekend. Three of us went there for the grand opening and ordered burgers. They asked how we wanted the meat and we all said medium well. All 3 came out well done..;) We ate them anyway. They had live music. Lots of Rolling Stones songs and Beatles so we didn't really worry about the food. I still don't like paying 14 dollars for a burger. Just seem like a lot to me, but I guess that's the way it is everywhere.

This is the famed "Round Rock" that the city was named after. I looked it up and it seems that I didn't have the story right.
In 1851, a small community was formed on the banks of Brushy Creek, near a large round and anvil-shaped rock located in the middle of the creek. This round rock marked a convenient low-water crossing for wagons, horses, and cattle. The first postmaster called the community "Brushy," and the creek was called "Brushy Creek". But in 1854, at the suggestion of the postmaster, the small settlement was renamed Round Rock in honor of this now famous rock. After the Civil War, Jesse Chisholm began moving cattle from South Texas through Round Rock on the way to Abilene, Kansas. The route he established, which crossed Brushy Creek at the round rock, became known as the Chisholm Trail.[17] Most of the old buildings, including the old Saint Charles Hotel, have been preserved. This historic area is now called "Old Town.

This old abandoned gas station is situated near the intersection of old US 75 and Interstate 45 on the north side of Madisonville. US 75 was supplanted by I-45 in the early 1960s south of Dallas to Houston. No doubt this old 1950s-1960s station served travelers on both highways.
