Crawford is 150 years old. With strong agrarian roots it is also where the 43rd POTUS and his lovely wife have chosen to have their eco-friendly ranch home. Alas, we were not invited to tour it. However, met some really nice people and enjoyed a good burger. Sam's maternal grandparents lived here and are buried in the city cemetery along with some others by that surname we'll need to research. Of note: the Waco Tribune gets rotten tomatoes from me for posting the wrong start time of the parade so we missed it.
