Still in Waco!!

Thursday April 4, 2019

Thursday morning we got up had a quick breakfast and were off and running again.  First we drove

One of the homes

that were redone!!

past a couple of the homes that were on the Fixer Upper show, we both were surprised about the area of town they were in, not the nicest.  Next stop was the Harp Design Company, I did have to get myself a long sleeved t-shirt from there.  After that a quick bite to eat then off to find a couple of junk shops to hit and then another house or two from the show, much nicer areas.  Lastly we drove past an old restored 1929 Gulf station that was pretty neat to see.  We headed home about 4:00 pm, rescued Rudy with a couple of walks around the park then left overs for dinner.

 

This is the Harp Design Co. Shop

We got up to a gray overcast day, so we took our time getting ready to head out and Brad even made

Great Shop!

breakfast on the grill.  We didn't head out until about 11:00 and headed to the Magnolia Market just to see if it was any busier on a Friday then Wednesday... oh my there were just throngs of people and the line for the bakery was around the corner and almost a block long.  Brad had dropped me off at the market then headed out to find a place to park....not an easy task.  We meet up at a store just down from the market called 'The Findery', it took us almost an hour to walk through there.  We went next door to 'The Backyard Bar and Grill' for lunch, I can't even say it was OK.  I think that was the worst meal we have had since we started traveling.  We were heading back to the car when we passed a familiar name, Jimmy Don, he was the Metal sign guy on the Fixer Upper show and he was actually

Jimmy Don heading

into his little

store area!

at his little store front, I got a quick picture and off we go to the car.  It is still rather gray day, but we decided to head out to Lake Waco just to check out the CG's and see what they looked like.  The CG's weren't to bad, but the haze over the lake made it a bit eerie.  After that trip, it's about 2:30 so we decided to head home early, but did a detour to the Cheese Shop that was actually in the 'Homestead Village', and didn't leave there until 4:30.  We hurried home, walked Rudy and sat outside with the computers, looking up stuff and planning our next trip until it was time for dinner.  We had burgers on the grill and coleslaw and a relaxing evening at home.

Saturday April 6, 2019

Not much to say about today.  We woke up to rain, that turned into a thunder storm that turned into a tornado watch for our county.  We had the radio on most of the time, but did have to switch to the TV just to figure out how close or far away anything was.  Finally about 1:30 it seemed to get a little brighter so we headed out to do our grocery shopping for our next trip.  Back home, two walks for Rudy while the rain held out then Crawfish Etoufee from the freezer for dinner tonight.  Hopefully Rudy will get another walk or two before bed.
