We truly have an incredible past! One thing I love to do is visit cool places, and meet wonderful people. From hysterical to the Historical is my motto.

I am currently the Vice Chair of the Bell County Historical Commision, and I am Sharing my advendtures, Historical stories, restoring markers here in Bell County Texas. I think it is time I shared these experiences with you, with pictures, video, and my blog as well. It is about the fun in travel, the passion of fellowship and the joy of sharing a good story.

A great story of our Historical Commission, and celebrating an incredible Bell County Historian.

BELTON — Bell County commissioners appointed a new chief information officer and honored a longtime local historian, while also recognizing preservation work across the county during its 175th anniversary year.

It’s official! The Bell County Historical Commission has received a generous gift. This is a Ground Penetrating Radar, to help locate unknown graves. A very special thanks to Ruth, and the Moffat Cemetery Association! This will take our Historical Commission to another level, finding previously unknown graves around the county! Once I’m familiar with its use, and understand the software, I’ll be giving classes for its use. 2027 is going to be amazing!

Tim Dean is helping us restore historical markers in our county as well around the State! He is well worth following! We will be working on a huge marker project together soon!

I’m used to folks stopping by when we’re restoring markers. It’s usually just asking what we’re doing, share a history story or two, and they go about their way. Not this time. This is Daniel Martinez and his wonderful wife with their son. They saw us restoring the Baggett house marker, turned around and visited with us for a while. The conversation ranged from them just voting today, and their son is a 4.0 student at Texas State. And of course history. Usually folks want a pic of me working, but they wanted a group family shot at the marker. I was so honored and humbled by their kind words and actions. I love what I do, but when folks like the Martinez family stops by, it just makes the work so special. We are so blessed.

Finally got my baby out today. A much needed ride. Got the new tires scuffed in. This Guzzi has been the best bike ever! No surprises, no fighting. It just does my bidding no matter what!
