Yesterday we were moving rather slow I already shared the shower dilemma. We headed out and first stop was to see where they lived and the new house they are building.
But we passed this Salvation Army thrift store and pulled in to see what they had.....
They were rather expensive but we left with this cute $.79 cent jar
Where I purchased a cute little jar for $.79 cents......
After our big purchase we headed to see where they live now and where they are building their new house.
It's a very nice gated community.
Then off to lunch at Rudy's Barbecue....
We pulled in and went to order our food. They smoke all their barbecue right on site. So off we go to the counter where we are welcomed with a sample of their famous creamed corn. Very yummy.
Everything can be tasted. I chose the chopped barbecue which is turkey,pork and brisket in barbecue sauce. We also got coleslaw and they give you thick white bread. They pile everything into a blue handled crate no plates...you get pieces of butcher paper to eat off of....
While in line we met family who was from Pennsylvania they were traveling with
FLAT STANLEY
I had the chopped barbecue on the bread with some cole slaw and barbecue sauce.
You then go to the family seated tables where there are paper towels available to grab as needed.
We then had a visit from Marilyn's daughter Sheryl and granddaughter Adisson. When it was time to say goodbye Adisson started to cry...she wanted her "Granny". I told her that she has "Granny" all the time and I really appreciated that she was sharing her with me and I would give her back on Monday. After a few more tears, and a few sniffles,and a bribe to get her a "Frozen" surprise "Granny" got a smile and hug....
After we left lunch we Marylin initiated me to
It's a good thing I am flying...there was some amazing things I would have loved but did get a few amazing things....
The boxes are unfinished for some wool/cross stitch projects (Pat?). The green packages are small frames with glass that I am going to use to make a couple of necklaces and the rubber stamps are to add to my collection. I also got some crochet yarn to make some pinball pin cushions.
We then went to H.E.B. Which is truly a huge and unbelievable grocery store.
We went to grab some things to drink and for dinner....
I found this cup....yes for me...lol
We got out of H.E.B. just in time to sit in traffic which is 90% of the time...
That is one that made me cry so hard I was laughing. I DON'T DO STUPID!
We awoke this morning and lolly gagged around until we chose to move out the door....
We went to a quilt shop that I once again had a great time...I even scored some $3.95 - a yard toweling to stitch,wool appliqué or cross stitch on.
Oh and I played $20 on the lottery in scratch offs last night I never play but thought what the heck why not.....
Well I won.....
Wahoo $100.00
After the quilt shop we had some Chinese for lunch...
We then hit Wally World and I found some treasures for my son Austin
Then H.E.B.
A new one that was hard to believe it was a grocery store"........
Here's just a smidgen of what I saw. I think I gained 20 lbs just breathing when I walked in....
Made me think of Rachel and Justin
tiramisu. Austin and Mia
Caramel apples and pears
Then sushi/Asian
Breads
And couldn't resist this picture...Mia....
This too was in H.E.B.
We then went to Deli counter
Keith and the guys would have loved the meats and cheeses.
Allergies hAve been rough but with daily trips to
(It was 76 degrees here today so went iced....)
Great friend, shopping and food I'm pretty happy. Just heard weather bad for Monday so departure may be tricky. I am missing the trip to the venue that Justin and Rachel are thinking of tomorrow so I hope they take pics. I couldn't change this trip I had already done so last year and ticket would have been lost. It was also Marilyn's birthday.
Tomorrow we are planning on chilling and stitching.
On a separate note I need a few prayers please....
My dear sweet Savannah (Alec's) sister has had a bit of a hiccup. They are giving her steroids and goes back on Thursday and Friday for some more medical stuff)
And
Kim Miller who lives in Alabama now but worked for us for a while is fighting Hotchkins Lymphoma and could use as much in the prayer department we can give her.
I have always said I want this to be A happy place and I hope you will think happy thoughts for both.
Hugs tip tomorrow....I'm off to do some stitching. I've got to get SOMETHING done.
LOL
