Perfection
It is always a pleasure to stay at my grandmother‘s house that Charlie and Sherry have done such a fabulous job of restoring and maintaining! I always feel that I am going home when I get to stay and it will always be to me Big Mama’s House. We were able to view the eclipse from the front yard. Everything that you could possibly need is there. Dripping Springs has even grown in size and there are many more things to do which I find makes it very enjoyable. We were actually lucky to have the National Guard in town to oversee the celebration. I was able to give several a tour of the house and reminisce about times that I spent there as a kid. I look forward to returning again soon. Thanks again Charlie and Cheri for all that you do to make it always feel like home , I remember all of the great Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners that Big Mama was able to prepare in the kitchen. She could’ve fed half the town at that time. We never thought of it as being too small.
