Hills and stars over Fredericksburg memory hike
Stacy Parent, a lifelong Baytown resident, recalls a Texas trip to Fredericksburg and Willow City Loop. She describes night skies with Mars, Saturn, and Jupiter, roadside flowers and oaks, shop visits, a closed bakery, and a humorous car door jam during a cozy family retreat. The piece ends with peaceful imagery and a vow to return to nature and faith.
