Another Glen Rose trip

My husband and I made a trip down the road to Glen Rose Texas... one of our fave places to go. It's a charming little town about 25 minutes away. (I've blogged about it before...several times.)



First things first.... PIE!






Buttermilk.
YUM-O!






Is your mouth watering? Mine is!





We shared a piece and it was gone in a matter of minutes.








After we got our sugar rush we walked around the square.







My favorite building. The Talley Building. When I spent half my life on Flickr a few years ago I became friends with the owner of a cute little store in this building. Her father owns it and she lived upstairs. That's always been a dream of mine. To have a business in a cool, old building and live upstairs. Her store is no longer there and I'm not sure what has become of her. Wherever she is and whatever she's doing ... I hope she's happy.







Now my favorite store is Angels with Attitude. It's really small and smells really good.




 It has the prettiest things too. My husband bought me a candle called Snickerdoodle. Yep, it smells REALLY good. I love this little bottle mobile. I think I need to make one.






Beautiful, colorful bottles outside another store.











Now we head to our favorite place to eat. We've been several times, but always at night so it was a little hot during the day, but it was still nice. It's got a Jimmy Buffet, Florida Keys kinda vibe.





It's really nice in the evening on the weekend when there's a band playing and the candles and lights are lit up.... it almost feels like we're not in Texas, but on a beachy vaca.


 And now..... more food and drink.
Nuthin' better than iced tea on a hot, Texas, summer day..








A de-lish chicken sandwich. Once again, we shared our sandwich. We do that a lot. I'm pretty sure if we get another buttermilk piece of pie again, I'm not sharing it!!




CLOSE UP!

 Is your mouth watering again? :)






"Thank ya. Thank ya vury much."
Ha.... Elvis serenaded us while we ate.
Yep, he's alive and living in Glen Rose Texas.

Texas....

Good old Texas...where the tea is sweet and accents are sweeter, summer starts in April, front porches are wide and words are long, macaroni & cheese is a vegetable, BBQ is the state food, y'all is a proper pronoun, chicken is fried, biscuits come with gravy, everyone is honey, someone is always getting their heart blessed, and we are all "fixin" to do something.

It Snowed in Texas!


It snowed!



In Texas!

10-12 inches!!
A record since 1965 (a year after I was born)

From my kitchen window










.... into the woods
Isn't it gorgeous?








Our creek... it's seasonal so most of the time it doesn't even have water.






Bench and firepit in the woods







Hmmmm..... cactus and snow!?








"I can't move"

















.... The animals
























I wish it would snow like this every winter!
{Most of the pictures were taken by my daughter... I was sickly... she's quite the photographer!}
