Our adopted home town of Gholson, Texas has a population of 922. We're in the greater Waco area, so for all of our mail-related stuff we have the option of having either Gholson or Waco as our home city. We still choose Waco because, well, Waco is still our home too. But we love living out in the boonies, on the fringe of McLennan County.

Yesterday Brandi and I paid a visit to Gholson's only restaurant. It's a small barbecue joint, and, thankfully, it was delicious. The waitress said her aunt and uncle (who live in Gholson) run the place, and she lives in an adjacent town that's similar to Gholson. "It's another one-horse town," she said.

We're not talking about one-stoplight towns here. (Heck, Gholson doesn't even have one of those!) These are "one-horse" towns! (Certainly there's a bit of hyperbole there. There are probably two dozen horses or more within 400 feet of our home.) Incidentally, Brandi recently talked about maybe wanting to get a pony one day, maybe next year. That would be fun. We're still dead set on getting a cow.
