Time in Fred

We've spent another fabulous weekend if Fredericksburg! It's so fun to have our very own house there -- we are loving it!

We left Friday after work and after Chris finished his swim...the three of us enjoyed a nice car ride together, and stopped at McDonalds for dinner. With Poppy, we had to eat in the car, but it all worked out. She did great again, and we love it!

When we got into town, Poppy had fun playing in the backyard and running through the house! It was good to see! We worked on getting our two new shelves put together. Well, mainly Chris did :) We got a wooden shelf unit for a little nook in the hall bathroom, and a metal over-the-toilet rack for the master bathroom. The master bath, especially, has very little storage or counter space. Both fit the spaces well and I was able to get the towels put up.

After a good night of sleep, we woke up and started our day in Fred! Chris did his run and I went to Hilda's for breakfast burritos. Then we got cleaned up headed to Trade Days. Trade Days happens every 3rd weekend of the month, and is a very large flea market. They have a very wide variety of things -- old, new, furniture, clothes, jewelry, decorations, you name it.

Since it was about 105 degrees, it was a tad miserable...we went through as quickly as possible. We found a few cute things for the house...a neat retro lamp, a funky yellow spring, and a few homemade pottery pieces. When I found out a teenage girl had made the pottery, I was very impressed!

Afterwards, we stopped at a new winery to check it out. Signor Vineyards was a very beautiful place, we really loved it! We'll definitely be going back. Then we stopped at Grape Creek for our free glass of wine and a cheese board, and the lovely music of our favorite guy Jeff Wood. A very nice afternoon.

After a stop to Walmart, we came home to Poppy for awhile. Then tried a new place for dinner - La Tequila Jalisco. It was a hopping place and very tasty! Then we settled in and watched a movie while looking at furniture options online. Still trying to figure out what we want to get -- it's a big decision, furnishing a whole house! We made some good progress in narrowing things down, so we are on our way.

Sunday, we had a lazy morning. Did a few house things. We will go to a few stores in town before we leave to pick up a few things, and then we'll travel back to Abilene to get ready for our work week.

Hope you all had a great weekend, too!

The week ahead...I'm not entirely sure what all it holds since I haven't looked at my calendar yet, but we are going to celebrate Aspen's 22nd birthday on Monday evening. She is going to cook for us. More on that to come!
