Still in TX

We can't seem to get away from this state lately! We've been up and down the interstate within TX and even out to a couple other states, but then we get sent right back here! Oh well, I can't complain...at least we're getting miles. :)

I am often asked if we get bored sitting in the truck all the time. The answer would be a resounding YES if all we did was sit in here! But, thankfully I have a patient, kind, and understanding husband. He lets me find places to go and things to do nearby and we get out and wander around.



Recently, we found an outlet mall. I really WAS planning to just walk around, enjoy the pretty weather and window shop. I'm not all that impressed with name brand items...I look for quality not particularly labels. Anywho....we came across a Christian book outlet of sorts. Every book in the store was $5.00. Oh boy, oh boy. Poor Tim! I was like a kid let loose in a candy store. I did try to hold myself back, really I did! I was very selective. I decided I would just make a note of this location and plan to come back when I haven't already spent all my allowance. I finally managed to drag myself from the store with minimal damage to my pocketbook and lo and behold at the other end of the shopping center there was a Christian bookstore going out of business! I had to step in for at least a few minutes so I could "save some more money". :) I'm glad Tim is patient! It doesn't hurt that he loves to read almost as much as I do.

This weekend we are in San Antonio. I'm not sure what we'll do this evening (besides laundry). Tomorrow, I'm hoping to get a chance to visit the same church we went to last time we were here. It is a small United Methodist Church. They were very friendly and we really enjoyed the preaching and singing last time we were there.
