When my family first moved to south Texas in 1951, we lived in a small adobe house.

Looked a little like this..

I think it must have been built in the early 1900s (or before),
The walls were really thick, and I remember it was it was pretty warm in the winter.

The adobe turned out to be too small and we soon moved into a large wooden house that really drafty..

But, back in those days, it cost peanuts to heat a leaky home.
