We spent another day Saturday in the DFW area browsing at antiques and searching for Gillette double edge safety razors to add to my husband’s collection. I’m so glad he’s taken an interest in such things – because I love traveling down memory lane this way. I don’t have to spend alot of money (and rarely do), but I sure enjoy looking at all the cool stuff and remember owning many of the things I see.
We are home now, but Saturday was a FULL DAY! I think we managed to go to 7 or 8 different shops, two or three were “antique malls” which meant we both got quite a bit of walking in. We broke up our day by enjoying lunch at the Macaroni Grill I behaved myself by choosing a salad and the “create your own pasta”. I had whole wheat linguini with an olive oil and garlic “sauce”. I added spinach, tomatoes and bell peppers to it. It was enjoyable and Macaroni Grill was a nice change of pace since our home town of Longview only has Olive Garden.
We were pretty well pooped by suppertime and ended up back in our motel room napping. Unfortunately, we both woke up an hour later hungry! We had heard that the “Twisted Root” had great burgers and since we hadn’t had a burger since we’d left home it sounded like just the right ticket! We traveled to Roanoke to check out They live up to their reputation! Guy Fieri was right! It’s always been my dream to take a road trip and try a bunch of roadside restaurants like he does on Diners, Drive Inns and Dives – so this was a sample of what it would be like. The line was long but it was worth the wait! I had a delicious burger and sweet potato chips at 8 pm Saturday night! ugh! I would post a pic (if I knew how to post another pic into this blog) but I’ve not quite figured out how to post multiple pics yet without losing what I’ve already typed. Feel free to send me instructions for the next time.
Sunday morning we packed up and made the 2 1/2 hour trip home so we could attend evening church services lastnight. Glad we did! Today is our actual anniversay so stay tuned for more in the coming days…cause we aren’t quite done celebrating. We are fixin to enjoy our last day of “freedom” LOL since Granny will arrive home by ambulance at 5 pm tonight. God love her. Then, Thursday my grandchildren will be back at Maw Maw and Paw Paw’s house until school begins in the fall. Once school starts, I will only have the two year old, Kash to care for. Lord, give me strength! 🙂
