Heritage Home Tour to highlight Wonder World cabin

The cabin called the Bevers House was named for Mark Bevers, the ex-cowboy who first discovered the cave. Most of its original bricks remain intact as does the cabin’s distinctive architectural design.

Lest anyone think that Wonder World Park is some sort of recent establishment with a slightly schmaltzy name, think again, because this is actually one of the most historic nature tourism destinations and oldest enduring business names in Texas.

One of my morning rituals is a cup of coffee. Talking with other people it seems that I am not alone drinking a morning cup of coffee to start the day. The primary reason given by people is that it “wakes them up.” For these coffee drinkers, the first cup of coffee in the morning acts as a stimulant to be wide awake and ready to meet the challenges of the day. The primary ingredient in coffee that seems to trigger this response is caffeine. There are some studies that promote coffee as a way to keep active over a longer period of time. For marathon runners that is exactly what they are looking for. It got to the point that too much coffee [caffeine] was a banned substance in the Olympic drug protocol restrictions.
