My Favorite Weekend

This weekend is perhaps my most favorite weekend of the year. Mom and I make an annual trek to Chappell Hill, sans children, to the Scarecrow Festival. I love leaving early on Saturday morning. I love stopping by Starbucks for a Pumpkin Spice latte. I love seeing the Dutch Belted cows, aka oreo cookie cows, just outside Chappell Hill. I love wandering through downtown Chappell Hill and looking at all the vendors. Oh, the Texas Twister, the cheeseburger and real potato chips, the Frou Frou Ranch, the list goes on and on.

I so look forward to this because my friend, Suzanne, and her super hubby go each year and I'm able to catch up with her. My aunt and cousin go and we were able to meet up with them and have about half a lunch. Vickie goes each year as well. This time she and Ashley were scouring through for baby girl clothes.

The weekend kicked off Friday night. I met Sherreemurray, Jonesville, Sharon, Wags and some of my other VE buddies for the Haunted Houston Tour. It was great fun. We had a fabulous tour guide and hearing the history and legends surrounding our stops was so interesting. There was only one crazy thing that happened, and had I not been standing right behind Sherreemurry and know her as well as I do I would never believe it! I still thing there's an explanation, but it makes for a great story and the night all that more memorable!

And Tech (7) beat Nebraska 37 - 31 and remain UNDEFEATED! Go Graham Harrell and Michael Crabtree!

Now to top the weekend off, I'm waiting for JBox to return from one of his favorite weekends of the year -- pig hunting with the boys!
