Museum of Texas Handmade Furniture: Ogle Historic German Biedermeier Handiwork
April 9, 2015 by
If you’re a fan of furniture, craftsmanship, or even just Texas history, you’ll likely love the Museum of Texas Handmade Furniture. This unique museum is located inside of the historic Breustedt-Dillen house, a stunning white farmhouse that is quite a sight to see itself. Each room in the house is set up just like it would be in the 1800s, complete with Biedermeier furniture made by German cabinetmakers.
Visitors can stroll through the rooms and view more than 70 different pieces of furniture that were collected by the late Bill and Nan Dillen, while costumed docents explain the history and craftsmanship behind each piece. These tours also cover the fascinating German immigration to Texas, the history of the house, and some background about the people who once lived in it.
Tours of the Museum of Texas Handmade Furniture last approximately one hour. Admission is $5 for adults and $1 for children ages 6 to 12.

New to Yoga? Check Out These Beginners’ Tips!
April 2, 2015 by
Yoga is a great way to center your mind, but if it’s your first time practicing it can also be a bit intimidating. If you’re unsure of what to wear to class or what to expect from your instructor, read these helpful tips before heading to the studio.
- Wear comfortable, close-fitting clothing. Instead of wearing loose shorts or pants like you normally would while exercising, you’ll feel more comfortable in something that fits closer to the body. Also, be sure to tie long hair back and remove your shoes before entering the studio.( See if your studio's website provides tips about what to wear to your first class.)
- Bring the proper supplies. You’ll need to stay hydrated throughout your class (even more so if it’s a hot yoga class), so be sure to bring a large water bottle. If you don’t own your own yoga mat, you can likely rent one at the studio for a small fee.
- Prepare your body. Most yoga experts recommend not eating large meals for up to three hours before class. To avoid low blood sugar, have a small snack right before class.
- Research. If you’re feeling nervous about your practice, look up basic poses like downward facing dog, child’s pose, and the sequence of warrior poses.
- Have the right attitude. Your instructor may adjust you during class, but it doesn’t mean that you’re doing a bad job. Stay positive, stay focused, and stay open to advice!

Buc-ee’s: Refuel Your Car— and Your Snack Supply!
March 26, 2015 by
Although it may seem strange to get excited about a gas station, Buc-ee’s is a much different type of gas station than anything you’ve seen before. This combination gas station and convenience store is much larger than most similar establishments, and its interior resembles a grocery store more than a convenience store. Large aisles dedicated to beef jerky, pulled pork, seasoned nuts, and other Texan favorites offer an almost endless assortment of road trip snacks, and there are ICEE machines on the end caps of every aisle.
Just about everything at Buc-ee’s is made by the store’s own in-house brand, including the wide variety of candies that includes the Beaver Hut and multi-flavored taffies. If you’re looking for a more filling meal, Buc-ee’s also offers a hot food bar filled with sausage kolaches, barbecue brisket sandwiches, and even New York-style Reubens. Outside, Buc-ee’s offers some of the most affordable gas in the state!

Today is Waffle Day!
March 25, 2015 by
The Belgian waffle made its first American appearance at the 1962 World’s Fair in Seattle. Originally known as the Brussels waffle, named for the capital city from which it comes, the crisp-on-the-outside, airy-on-the-inside waffle was served two ways: the traditional fashion (plain) and with a slight embellishment of freshly whipped cream and just-sliced strawberries. However you enjoy your waffles, today is a great day to do so!
