What I'm Going To Be When I Grow Up

I have always been interested in archaeology; and when the Walker County Historical Commission was looking for someone interested in attending a workshop on historical archaelogy, I jumped at the chance.

I joined the Texas Archeology Society (that's the way they spell archaeology) and headed down to Lake Jackson south of Houston the first weekend in March.  They had very interesting lectures by a professional archaelolgist on the basics of archaelogy, pottery identification, and the Jackson plantation and sugar mill.  

We ended the session with a field trip to the Jackson planation to view the ruins of the home and sugar mill, which sold a remarkable $600,000 of sugar in 1860.  The lady in the picture was our main lecturer and tour guide.
