S.A. para me' no more:(

I did it! I officially (probably the one and only EVER) had a great day with a 5 A.M. wakeup, believe it or not I had a chipper day, I did!

After popping out of bed at 5 (well maybe that is an overstatement, the rest of this is 100% legitimate though), bit determined not to be caught in the last minute 6:30 rush, I was rip (thanks to a trip to the club yesterday:)), roaring (maybe a cheerful growl) and READY to go!
Dad and I hit the road, destination San Antonio (mom was off to Robstown as a judge for a 4H competition all day… she has so many skills it floors my mind!).


Dad took the first shift, I took the wheel with the help of the curse control for the second, and he sped in (well into traffic) for the last... a little tardy for the Dr., but there none the less. Our only wrinkle was missing one another in the weighting room. I ran to use the restroom and for some tea (a.k.a. caffeine) upon arrival and we vowed to meet in the weighting room at the end of his appointment. As it turned out, we both over looked one another and sat in the same area, although separated by the nurses station (so totally legitimate!), for about an hour. His gentle cough was my wake-up call to recognition…

After the Dr., we jetted over to Whole Foods for a quick tour. Just being in the building felt so good; we left with delightful TREATS - dairy free ginger cookie my all time most favorite thing ever and dairy-free truffles, so great!

After our tour of organics, we visited one of his dear and so sweet friends. All tucked in the truck; we cruised into a true Soul Food restaurant: full on with, "you buy it we fry it" painted across the front. It was a great place, like walking straight into the Deep South, server was awesome. The menu touted items such as pig, pork chops (I know piggy too), fried okra trout and yep, CRISPY fries! So, comfy and good company made for a first-class time!

Don’t even think the fruit and gas run out of the city would conclude a trip, but nope!
We went Rural with a trip to DQ - didn’t even know they had a ton of yummy slush choices. We then took a slight parallel detour through Whitsett to visit Cecil Wilson's, a porch that contains seasonal produce and honey with a system as simple as: grab the goods and deposit the danaro in the drop (a whole cut into the side of the house). Unfortunately, the porch was empty and although one sign tempted with prices another stated goods won't return until may:(… we sadly settled for pictures and the path…

That is all for now as you can tell I am overflowing with details, so maybe a bit of sleep is best. Gospel of John class in the AM, email any questions you would like me to ask this evening!

back to my biscotti and tea:)…

Love and prayers!
