From Walt's Ranch to A Cave With No Name
March 21, 2008
We slept in til noon!!!! Maria and Sueann left a message; they were making Easter Bread! That was a family tradition: Grandma Romano would come from Cleveland, Ohio and we would all help make the sweet bread for Easter. It took hours because you had to knead it, let it rise and knead it again and let it rise before putting it in the oven. Some loafs had colored eggs woven in. One loaf was always made into a woven circle with colored eggs put in for everyone in the family. The left over was made into buns. As the years past we made more buns and just a small woven circle loaf. The sweet smell of the bread filled the house. What a treat hot out of the oven smothered with butter! “Fond memories are remembered long after they are gone.”
Walt has a small ranch here in the Hill Country just outside Luckenach. There is the beginnings of a ranch house made of cedar and stone. Plans for a pond, two more stone cabins and a main house with a barn are alive in Walt’s head. After spending a very relaxing early afternoon exploring Walt’s ranch, we drove to Cave Without A Name.
The cave tour begins with 126 steps spiraling down the oriinal sinkhole entryway. The chamber that you enter is natures artistic creation. The six rooms offer sparkling crystalline formations and a subterranean river.
