The Corbetts spent the last 24 hours in Texas, a new favorite weekend jaunt for us. We revisited Marshall, the place we took my parents while they were in town the first week of August. We stayed in Rosemont Cottage, a historic structure on the grounds of the Starr Family Home just a stone's throw from the famous Whetstone Square
that people travel for miles to see all lit up at Christmas time. We drove in around 4 yesterday afternoon and had the place to ourselves since Rosemont Cottage is basically the sole remaining wing of an antebellum home built by the Starr family and has only one bed--a queen-sized vintage Mallard crowned with the signature "egg" in the headboard.
Ah, the classic oil field "rocking horse," none of which we saw when trying to show my mother what one looked like!
We tried a local spot for dinner and lucked out with the oyster carousel (delicious), though we still haven't found the steak we're looking for.
