    We spent the whole day wondering around this beautiful, (almost a ghost) town. It has so much history and definitely worth a visit if you are near the area. I bet you can guess what our favourite part was!

      So much history. I lived about a half hour drive from Belton, home of Mary Hardin Baylor University, which was where the women's school moved to. You could spend a lifetime exploring Texas, and never see it all!

    When I was going to Easton Arcola Elementary School, in the 1960's they still had the desks with the old inkwells in them. I'm glad that we didn't use them, they were actually the well to hold the inkwells. I'm a southpaw, and inkwells would never worked out for me.

      @@PinInTheAtlas did you know that left handed people wrote their cursive in reverse to keep the wet ink from smearing? We check things off from right to left and I underline everything from right to left. I also write upside down and can read a book, magazine or newspaper upside down. I had some people in a hospital turn my paper around when I was trying to sign a authorization slip for treatment, and I told them if they did it again, I'd turn it into a ball and toss it at them.
