Hello Loves!
How did your weekend go?
We were down in Austin and College Station
celebrating a birthday and an Anniversary!
We planned this special weekend way back in the summer
and it turned out to be just PERFECT!
Our first stop was at Bucc-ee's....we received a special
request from our youngest to please stop and take a photo
with Bucc-ee Beaver....which we did....reluctantly!
For those of you who are not familiar with Bucc-ee's....it
is a huge gas station, outside and inside...
it's similar to a huge and crazy busy convenience store!
We love being back in Austin and decided to
enjoyed the cocktail hour at one of our favorite places!
Fresh oysters for the boys......
We then walked over to another one of our favorite pizza places....
it was SO fun and absolutely delicious!!!!
We had so much fun on this Friday night!
Austin is indeed a bit weird and great for people watching!
Plus, we were celebrating with one of our children....
We were lucky enough to catch .....
We left Austin early Saturday morning to drive
down to College Station and y'all....
it was a beautiful drive...the Texas
countryside was full of cattle ranches and
lovely cotton fields.
We had to snap a photo with our youngest Aggie!
It brought back all the memories of their college days!
Happy happy days!!!!
Perfect football weather too!
Thank goodness the rain held off for the game!
Of course, as you know, the darling
and I went to Ole Miss and love the Rebels....
however....our money and our children are Aggies
and the Aggies are in our hearts!
AGGIES WIN!!!!
It was WONDERFUL to be back at the hotel,
relax with hot cup of coffee and talk about the game.
College Station has really built up since we had been back
and it was so good to see old favorites!

You're a sweetheart Linda...thank you! Love those Aggies!!!! Give Mike a big hug from me! Honey....it is SO cold...maybe we are in for along winter!
DeleteThank you for sharing---it is so fun to see what other people do. By the way, your make=up is done beautifully, and you are glowing. What make-up are you using, if you don't mind my asking? I've also been wondering where the name Aggie comes from--I'm sorry I'm a Pennsylvania girl through and through!!!
ReplyDeleteHi Maureen..welcome to Estelle's! Thank you SO much for your kind comments. I love meeting new friends thru blogging. I use IT CC CREAM for my foundation. I use the shade light. I am so pleased with this too. I also enjoy using FLOWER foundation by Drew Barrymore. An Aggie is a student at Texas A&M. In the early 1900s, Texas A&M students were referred to as "Farmers." The term Aggie began to be used in the 1920s, and in 1949, when the yearbook changed its name from The Longhorn to Aggieland, Aggie became the official student body nickname. There is a specific YELL that the YELL LEADERS CHANT called FARMERS FIGHT! These are the male cheerleaders as TAMU was a military school. This school is long steeped in their traditions which in another reason we love this institution. If you ever visit, they will welcome you to campus with open arms! Warm hugs from me to you!
DeleteThank you for taking the time to reply. I thoroughly enjoyed learning about the term Aggie!! The world is such an interesting place with so much to learn about, but the most interesting thing is meeting people such as you. Your blog posts always bless me--thank you!
DeleteMaureen....you are a love! Your sweet comment warms my heart....thank you so much for taking your time to visit! Happy Thanksgiving from Texas!
