On the way to Wimberley, Texas (hill country) you see two "mountains" from the
road called the Twin Sisters.  My grandmother used to always say when we
passed by "See the Twin Sisters?  This morning I took off my shoes and jumped
over them!"  I never could figure out how such a thing was possible, but then
I was a rather thick-headed child.  I cannot look at the view without thinking
of her and her wonderful sense of humor.--Mary Ann
