Texas Time

Returned Wednesday

from a wonderful

extra-long weekend

trip.....

My mom's gift

to me ~

Each year we

meet somewhere

fun

and indulge

our whims

for a few 

precious days

together.

The Craig's Place Inn

This year, we

headed south....

South-WEST,

that is ~

San Antonio, Texas

was our base

for two day trips....

The first, to the

north-east, the little

town of New Braunfels,

where we 

meandered

through some great

antique malls.

I bought a pair

of well-loved

cowboy boots ~

**$16.50!!**

With some amour

from Bob the Shoe

Man, they will be

perfection!!

I also bought some

turquoise Fiesta Ware

for the collection

of this sweet blogging
 girl, who we had the

pleasure of whiling

away the afternoon

with over lunch.

Elizabeth was a breath

of fresh air ~ one

of my younger blog

simpaticos who I 

just love.  Beautiful

inside and out....

full of hopes and 

dreams for her future....

She was exactly as

I'd imagined her.

If only one could adopt

 a younger sister ~

she'd be mine : )


{Sending you hugs,

Biz!!}

Our other adventure

took us due-north

to that hallowed Texas

Hill Country town that

we'd read so much about...

{Cue harps here}:

Fredericksburg!

Not only home to the

cutest little houses and

shops, but one of my most-

admired bloggers, as well.

She just passed her

2000th {!!!} follower mark,

but Anne, aka Fiona & Twig, has 
her lovely cowboy boots 
firmly planted on the 

warm Texas soil : )

With a heart as big

as the Lone Star State,

Annie was our gracious

guide for the whole

afternoon and into the

evening, sharing her

favorite shops, her soon-

to-be {gorgeous} church

and giving us a tour of 

her new ranch....

So much charm
that it will have its
own dedicated post, soon!

She even treated us to

lunch and an excursion

to that wild west outpost,

Lukenbach, Texas!

{Thank you, girlie; you

are the best!}

I made her stand a step above me : )

As always when we are

together, my mom and

I enjoyed lengthy talks,

punctuated by

laughs

long walks

hugs

shopping

movies

and 'lots of good

Southern iced tea!

Time.  Texas style.

Thanks, Mom!
I miss you, already.

Left 88 degrees, sunshine

and some of my heart ~

Landed in 38 degrees

and melting traces of snow.

Eek!

But a warm welcome

awaited me from my

little family at home.

I feel so blessed.

This Luckenbach kitty has it down pat!

I hope that Y'all

can carve a little

Texas Time for

yourselves over the

weekend.....

I highly recommend it!

Sending you all
heaps of Easter love,
