Well butter my bun's & call me a biscuit...

I was very blessed with a girls weekend in Canyon Lake! My wonderful SIL, Amy, mentioned that she and her Momma were going to the Round Top Antique weekend and I asked if I could go with them. There is no feeling quite like inviting yourself to tag along on someone else's weekend away but I couldn't help myself...I needed to get away. Plus, I love Round Top and had gotten some pretty cool antiques there ages ago when we lived in neighboring Burton, TX. Plus, plus, it was free since Amy's boss loaned her the use of her time share and they happened to have an extra room. So I packed up the kids, dropped Hunter off at my brother's, and Morgan and I hit the road. Hunter was excited to spend time with the boys....I was excited to get away from boys. With only a few rounds of 'You are my Sunshine', Morgan was a content passenger in the truck. After zooming along for a handful of hours we happily arrived with notes of "Take me down to the River, Comal County Blues, and Southbound 35" still lingering in my head. It was pretty late Friday and were welcomed by the girls into our suite...IT WAS GREAT! We were in a"Presidential Suite" which was pretty cool. This place had two full kitchens, two full baths (one with a jacuzzi tub & laundry room), a living room, two king bedrooms, and a great view from the patio. Thinking back, I think my favorite thing was that I didn't have to clean, find, or organize anything there and we watched HGTV the whole time!!!!
Saturday morning we woke and had a fresh fruit breakfast together and then headed out for an adventure. We decided Round Top was too far and taking it easy seemed really appealing. None of us were in a hurry or had a preplanned agenda. We just headed out and decided on Historic Gruene, Texas. The weather was absolutely gorgeous! We shopped the antique stores and such, had wonderful food, walked and walked, and had great conversations. Later in the day we sat and swung in a storefront porch swing and chatted while I nursed Morgan. I didn't even know how much needed this time surrounded by women who are so loving and supportive and just fun in general. Thank you so much Amy. I pray this is the beginning of a wonderful tradition.
