This week's Find!

We went on a road trip this week...Stayed overnight in a motel. Wasn't that such a big deal when you were a kid??? Swimming the pool and eating out?? Sleeping in a strange bed, the smells, the feeling of the sheets and such...

We had a fun time at IHOP one night at 9pm..eating crepes and getting a nice sugar high after swimming in the Motel Pool, then watching bad TV until late at night..

We popped into a thrift store in Tulsa while out on the road, and this is what we found:


Priced just right, cauz, I only had 5 dollars in my wallet..

We have had much discussing about the President using one of these. She even asked me,

if this is what you used BEFORE the computer..I thought that was a pretty thoughtful question for a 6 year old... Now I hear the tap-tap-tap of the keys.. It's even my fav color at the moment..toruquoise...love it..

You can be you will see some of my charm words come out of this little baby..

Thanks for all the recent Etsy orders!! You people ROCK!!

Thanks for all the comments too, you make me smile :)

Have a great weekend!!

Road Trippin'

What better way to bring in Spring time than with a Motorcycle trip???

That's what we did..4 bikes total..we hit the road on Thursday and came home on Sunday...



Here is our first night's stay:



This old Rail Road Hotel is one of the last ones in the state..In Llano Texas. We had a great time with the caretaker, but the other guests were a bit rude about 4am, slammin' doors and yelling at each other in the hall after having a few toddys on the porch..we were about ready to bite off their heads..but they seemed to duck into their rooms when Hub would put his head out...What's with people now a days?? No one has any respect for others..We had one lady gripe at us for taking up 2 parking places at another motel, on another night. We legally can take a spot of each bike if we want to..If she'd been nice about it, we might have squeezed them all into one. But she was rude and demanding. Needless to say we didn't budge and she complained but they couldn't do anything about it..so she had to park and WALK a few more feet to her room...tuffstuff...







We rode in and out of rain the whole day on Friday...as we headed to Camp Wood.







This stop is at Enchanted Rock. A ginormous piece of pink granite. The Indians used it as a scared place where the earth would tell them secrets. We stopped closer to the entrance, but had to stop here and get the full aspect of the size of this stone upheaval...



What's a Hill Country trip without stopping at Luckenbauch??

No Willie or Waylon ghost just a bunch of tourist on Harleys and other assorted modes of transportation...





That me at #2 Spot..hub took this photo..He's the Road Captain~ We were outside of Bracketteville Texas on some FM that is an amazing ride, hills, twisties, curves, cattle guards and wildlife..

Road Warriors!!

We saw bluebonnets, but it was not as full as I've seen it in the past. The rains were not enough this year to yield an great showing..

We'll end this story here..at the potties in Luckenbauch...We logged in almost 1,100 miles those 4 days..that's just a drop in the bucket for the rest of the riding season...Hope you enjoyed the trip!!

This is just what I had in mind when I was taking these...getting the colors darker and the greens more acid...I love it..He did good~ He's been learning things and reading magazines on what to do and such..I just don't have the 'room' on this old puter to add a new program like that..so for now I'll just have to ask favors and hope he dotes on his dear old mom..

I'm currently working on a commissioned charm for a good friend..she has an awesome photo of her mom and dad 'back in the day' ..all yummy and vintage, just what I love~ I'll show you when it's all done and delivered.. I have acquired some most awesome Frozen Charlotte dolls, I'm making up shrines for..the first one I've finished, went to a friend 'down South'..and the second one, I had to keep for myself..and now I'm ready to finish some up for Etsy..so be on the look out for their debut soon..Big, Chunky, Vintage!!!

Next week at the Paper Cowgirl blog we will start a give away "trail ride"...don't forget~

Happy Trails!

Road Trippin'

Hub and I traveled alot this weekend..I drove to the Metroplex on Saturday, while he took the girls back home..we met that night at HOME.

Sunday we got up and headed down to the Austin area, he had some biz to do in that country..I go along to do the paperwork..


We ended up in this tiny tiny town, Granger. I was happy I had the point and shoot in my purse, for look what I found:



Wonderful old peely paint with crackles and rust!! What a texture find...lol..

Look at this place~ we think someone lived there..for a light was on upstairs and a stove pipe was out of one of the windows up there too...

I think I'm going to get Son to do his photoshop magic on these chairs, aren't they great?? I loved them all lined up like that and the colors and rust and textures..

Is it Mater???? I had to get this old fellow's photo..

Hope you enjoyed the trip to little townTexas..
