Old Yeller

April 2/17  Weather 80 sunny. 
The Windmill Gang
Today the Windmill Gang really grew in size.  Mostly we ride in a pack of 4 or 5 but today we were up to 9!  Big ride heading north to Mason.  You guessed it; yes we are going for lunch.....  hills were a pretty ride.
north to Mason
 Mason is has a pretty little town square with old storefronts and a beautiful courthouse in the center of the square.  But that is not the best part.

 In 1956 Fred Gipson wrote Old Yeller here.  A boy and a stray dog in post-civil war Texas; and the struggle for Travis into adulthood understanding life and death. Ahhhhhhh!  Love that movie.  Get your Kleenex's out, you know you cried when Old Yeller dies.  And that is not a spoiler alert:)
