Texas hill country eateries

04.19.15

So let it begin, I love weekends ♥♥♥! And I love when I have a weekend where I will have not only time to spend with the peeps I love but get to lounge or getting caught up on things at home!  My weekend started with our usual Friday date night.  Dinner in San Marcos (Herbert’s Taco Hut) and a movie.  Let me tell you about Texas hill country eateries y’all!

But first…if you haven’t seen the Woman in Gold, you should. I loved it and am so sad that while we know some of history we don’t know the whole truth because our stupid history books in school never-ever told the whole story.  That’s a whole other post!  But you should see it.

Got to spend my Saturday with my niece Jacq as I took her on a trip to Wimberely for lunch @ the Leaning Pear (one of my faves) and some window shopping.

The rest of the weekend haps went like this…


 the haps~

  • dinner at Herbert’s Taco Hut in SM (delicious and authentic Mexi food- especially their tortillas)!
  • Woman in Gold movie (fab)
  • Saturday in Wimberely
  • the Leaning Pear for lunch with my niece Jacq
  • lunch was the leaning pear salad & black currant tuna salad (yum)!
  • Sunday – were lots of “to-do’s”

the pics~

Beautiful blue bonnets that creep out even in an old sidewalk-can brighten any day!

And why wouldn’t we have Texas shaped pavers? This goes in my “things I ♥  about Texas” memoirs!

the hap-happy’s~

Some of the other LOVES…well, if you know me, you know I can’t or choose not to drink without a straw. (I know I have issues.)  My daughter gave me “stainless steel” straws…(how awesome is that?) for Christmas.  Well I finally got to using them and I gotta tell you, I’ve had plastic and even glass straws but this is like the “cherry on top” kinda deal!  And they’ll last forever…

Got one in my office, at home, in my car and an extra on backup!  Thanks lovie doll!

Some of my other happy’s were being able to make a most difficult dessert and it turned out! YAY!

Hope y’all have an awesome week, we’ll be attending another one of our son’s shows this week and excited about my brother coming for a visit.  But don’t forget if you’re in Texas or better yet…in the Texas hill country, you must go out to eat!  It’s the BEST!

My little 3 year old grandson was upset with me ye My little 3 year old grandson was upset with me yesterday. 
.
All because he decided to take his blankie home 2 days before and when we layed down to take a nap yesterday he was upset.  Upset he didn’t have his blankie and upset at Mimzy for not getting it for him. I hate to see children unhappy and that little face of his with tears rolling down made me sadder than he was.  I gave him 3 other blankets that didn’t replace his #1 blankie.  When he woke up he was still mad at me! 
.
It was the 1st and hopefully last time he’s ever mad at me, cause I sure didn’t like that and I didn’t even cause the problem to begin with. All I know is that we got that blankie back over here to avoid this happening again. The clock may be ticking and he’s growing full speed ahead but I don’t want to see that little man mad at his Mimzy if I can help it!

It’s moments like these and when he lets me cudd It’s moments like these and when he lets me cuddle him that I wish time would stand still. So very thankful to be blessed with precious grands!

He likes working outdoors in the cold for a bit so he can come inside and have a “hot cocoa tea party” as he calls it!💋 He loves this tea set and so do I ❣️

Cloudy Friday and 28 degrees. . And I’ll take it Cloudy Friday and 28 degrees.
.
And I’ll take it! Yes, I could’ve easily stayed curled up in bed for a few more hours but it’s my favorite day of the week and there’s playing with the grands to be done!
.
Definitely more important than sleeping in! Or is it? 🤣😂
