I've always harbored the idea of visiting all the Texas historical marker sites but now I see they are mostly houses and the appeal is completely lost.

Carl Wilhelm August Groos House
San Antonio, Bexar County

The Carl Wilhelm August Groos House is located in the Bexar County city of San Antonio in the U.S. state of Texas. It was designated a Recorded Texas Historic Landmark in 1977. Designed by Alfred Giles in 1880, the building contractor was John H. Kampmann. Giles used a Victorian Gothic Revival on this limestone home. Groos had immigrated from Germany to Texas in 1848, at which time he and his brothers started a freighting firm.

Thanks for posting.

Re San Augustine County courthouse...
That's my home town.
Too bad the photo was not taken in summer. Looks much nicer with leaves on the pecan trees.

My parents are buried at the Texas State Veterans Cemetery in Bell county about an hour from where I grew up.

I usually lurk on this thread but the off season this summer has me not too excited for football. I'll get there, but I'm really excited about some fall ball. I hope we have a game at Olsen this fall.

Thank you for posting! The paint last year was interesting but the courthouses and the beautiful landscape of our state is better!

The Grove, Jefferson County
The house has been said to be one of the most haunted locations in the Lone Star State. The ghost stories go back over 100 years at this 1861 home, and the first indication that something odd might be happening there was in 1882 when a man named T.C. Burke purchased the home. He moved his family in, and then moved right back out; the only explanation he gave was, "We can't live there!"

Kid being a kid. Great statue. The artist did that on purpose to capture how children interpret what they see and are told. The child was told to pick up a bat so he could swing it. Then coaching can begin once they listen and try.

An interesting corollary is learning languages. Generally younger children tossed into an environment with other languages learn them fairly fluidly by trying and making mistakes and those around the child providing guidance.

For older children and adults the ability to learn a new language is roughly in inverse proportion to your tendency to be stubborn or embarrassed by correction. Those who can manage to be childlike on taking guidance (usually because of natural curiosity and the sensation they are getting mysterious information that makes them smarter and "bigger") can learn a new language and the better they can set aside that resistance roughly correlates with how fluent they can become.

The best language learning is never in a classroom which is how our school system teaches it as most levels and largely how ESL programs teach it as well, that is just slow. Immerse in the language and use as little native tongue as possible to communicate. Point and ask and mimic exactly. Then string what you learn from curiosity into sentences. And then listen.

Who knows if that child became a capable ball player or what learning challenges are inherent in holding the bat that way. It takes courage to try and nothing steals courage like being the only one that's laughed at.

Actually you can still hang clothes from that top one so it's not entirely useless.

Texas Historical Marker 199

The Henry Gruene Family Home is a Victorian-style house that was constructed in 1872. The Gruene Family Home, though not listed individually on the National Register of Historic Places, is a contributing property to Gruene Historic District, which was listed in 1974. Presently, the home operates as the Gruene Mansion Inn in the Gruene Community of New Braunfels, Texas. Deep in tradition, the mansion was one of the first buildings in Gruene, in 1872.
