What's the difference between a Texan armadillo and a regular armadillo? The Texan has a gun holstered around his waste ... duh!
Turns out we don't have to venture all the way to San Antonio to see the Alamo. We've got our own version in these here parts!!! So check that off the to-do list;)
Sure it's a little smaller and not it at all but ..... it has it's own charm to it, don't you think?
They hosted a community event with a chili cook-off for lunch and some red neck games for the kiddos.
I joke but really it was a beautiful day and a fun way to meet some locals. Things are just a bit more laid back around here and there's something to be said for that!
My parents came for a visit in November. We enjoyed showing them around and introducing them at church. Mom did a presentation for her Comforter Ministry there on Sunday and our sewers really took an interest!
Mom, Z, and I headed down to Canton for the First Monday Trade Days which is truly a Texas sized flea market!! It was crazy and we only saw a part of it but it was lots of fun and I look forward to going back.
We all took a day trip over to Jefferson, TX on the Bayou. We took a trolley tour of the city and walked the downtown, dropping in on the stores and eating ice cream for lunch!
We opted out of the gator feedings, btw.
We also showed them nearby Mt Pleasant, shopped the antique stores in Winnsboro, and cheered Z on at her basketball game!
We are looking forward to venturing a little farther out from East Texas and exploring other parts of the state when we can get away for a little longer. Any suggestions?
