My dog has become — An Animal!
Join Wimberley humorist Susan Rigby as she attempts to navigate “the small stuff.”. I should have expected it. It’s like when my kids started kindergarten - something changed. Prior to that, they thought I knew everything, and pretty much worshiped me. Then came the big change. They walked in the Kindergarten door an innocent child and came out a know-it-all, mom knows nothing, punk kid. I was in shock the first time that happened but by the time my second child started school, I was dreading but expecting the change. Now I understand why parents want to home school.

Fourth graders step back in time at the Wimberley Institute of Cultures
, , , More than 190 fourth-grade Wimberley students time traveled to the mid- and late-1800s during their trip to the Wimberley Valley Museum’s annual historic tour. At the museum, they learned about W. C. Winters, a wounded veteran from the Battle of San Jacinto and well-known furniture maker. Looking for a less secluded place to locate his family, Winters founded the Glendale trading post on the site of a creek in 1853. The post eventually became the town of Wimberley. Volunteers from the Wimberley Institute of Cultures shared stories about the town’s early days, and students viewed the museum’s new mural, visited the Wimberley-Hughes house and Ozona bank, the site of Winter’s successful mill.
