An Unusual Saturday....

Our days have been packed full. Yesterday, however, we woke up to an empty house and nothing to do. Kent rushed to get ready and said we were off on a road trip. Ugggh....I wanted to just sit home and relax all day! After not much input from me he finally decided to go to Tyler.

I slept most of the 3.5 hr trip. I did wake up in Madisonville when we stopped at Buc-ees. If you have never stopped at one of their stores you owe it to yourself. They have lots of yummy goodies. We bought cheese, summer sausage, bottles of water, fudge, and were given 2 sample bags of Buc-ee's Beaver Nuggets. The Beaver Nuggets are DELISH!!!

I had some money left from Mother's Day and spent all plus about $50 more. We went to Dressin' Gaudy, Steinmart (of course!), the mall, Ross, and Marshalls. The funny thing is Tyler is small compared to the shopping mecca we live in. We didn't really go to shop just went to 'get away'. After shopping we met our long time friends, Kevin & Jackie Prince at Johnny Carinos for dinner.

Kevin and Jackie have done some remodeling to their church and wanted us to stop by and see the improvements. Wow just a little work made a HUGE difference! We then went to their home for coffee before heading home. It was fun visiting with them and Ashley. Of course spending time with friends is always enjoyable.

We didn't leave Tyler until about 8:45 putting us back in Conroe after midnight. Of course I slept most of the way home, too! We stopped at Buc-ee's for fuel on the way home. Kent went in and bought two bags of the Beaver Nuggets! They taste like Kellogg's Corn Pop cereal but with a maple syrup coating. yummmy!!!

Although we were up late last night, I feel rested today. It's amazing what a little different scenery does to reprogram the brain! lol I hope each of you are enjoying a blessed weekend...
