My Weekend

'Mornin' to ya'll.  I woke up too early with a sinus headache & couldn't go back to sleep so's I thought I'd just tell ya a little about my weekend. Went to see darling daughter off on her spring break mission trip. We had a fun afternoon in Fort Worth, went to a Super Target (wish we had one) and scooped up all her little last minute items for her trip to Canada, went to dinner downtown and then crashed at her apartment.  We had a wonderful visit and it's always fun to get all snuggly in bed and talk and catch up and visit until we fall asleep. I LOVE those times!

(This'll have to be the first of a two-part post...)

I left early as she had to get to her van ride to DFW and decided to spend some time in Granbury. I LOVE Granbury - it's full of antique shops, foo-foo shops, bed/breakfasts, a beautiful lake with gorgeous homes and good places to eat.  I was going to stay only a couple of hours, but after talking to hubby I decided to linger and just ENJOY! The weather was absolutely perfect and there were alot of people there. Downtown is wonderful. If you've never been there, it's a great little weekend getaway with plenty to do!  Following are photos I took of several local funspots and a few of the neighborhoods. There are TONS of little old cottage type homes there!
And some fine old German architecture right here in town! Lotsa Germans down in the central parts of Texas. Texas is such a BIG STATE, as you know... (puffing up chest...)
Next I have a shot of the Hood County courthouse on the square... Granbury is the county seat...

The streets around the courthouse itself were being re-done, so the fence draws away from its beauty - there again - a little German architecture.  And last but certainly not least, a shot of a beautiful quince bush that was busting at the seams showing off its color ~
Tomorrow I'll have a few pics of the downtown Granbury area. I gotta git ready for work. Ugh...at least my head feels better - I think it feels better just looking at these pictures again and remembering what a nice I had all to myself ~ no husband telling me to hurry up and sighing deep sighs of boredom while waiting on me to amuse myself in the shops!!!
