In this photo it is 6:00 am- I am in the driveway at my daughter Heather’s house, getting ready for my second trip to Round Top- this time to shop. We (Heather , Lauren, and I) have a two hour drive, and once we arrive, we will meet Katherine who is driving in from Dallas.
Some people may want to go to the moon, or travel to exotic locales, but my needs are simple: meeting my daughters at Round Top- specifically Warrenton-floats my boat.
By Brenham, I need coffee. We always stop here. Why? McDonald’s has the best to go coffee. I know opinions differ (Heather pulled into Starbucks- we were in separate cars for more storage space).
Our next stop was Burton as we looked for garage sales.
I had just rolled my window down to ask about one I saw, when Daughter #1, Heather shook her head- from her car- and said NO.
By this point, Daughter # 3, Katherine has called and said she is in Warrenton and will wait for us there.
Then the sibling ‘discussion’ began because Daughters #1 and #2 (Heather and Lauren) felt she needed to meet us at La Bahia to start shopping.
Conclusion? Katherine stayed in Warrenton to wait for us and Heather said:
“Mother she is doing this because you let her do what she wanted as a baby and you still do.”
My response?
I laughed. She’s right. 
Katherine, Heather, Lauren
(note: they are going to kill me –every time I took out my camera they said ”No!” I just laughed)
Once we arrived at Bar W field, which we refer to as the desert (because at the October show it feels like it is 100 degrees), Katherine found these treasures.
She plans to spray paint the antler plaque white (White Spray Paint- it’s genetic) and use it in her bedroom for her jewelry.
After our favorite , traditional lunch at a local church food booth, we shopped some more. I took them by Debbie’s booth (Talking Trash) and introduced them, and then as we rounded another corner I ran into my dear , dear friend Mary Jo. She was shopping with her family. That was a real treat for me.
It was wonderful . My feet were numb, and I was walking with a strange limp, and my cart weighed 600 pounds and had frozen wheels, but I was in heaven.

Oh, Laura. You are so blessed. I've watched the girls grow from cute little girls into beautiful women. Each with a mind of their own and their own style. You taught them to be fearless... and that they are... even of their own mom!! lol Now you weren't supposed to teach them that. LOL

Love,

I can't wait for my girls to be big enought to do things like this. My mother does not like to do girl's days like this so I am jealous of your time together. Where is this place that yall went? Sounds like fun.
Hey Laura, your girls are beautiful, I'm so glad I finally got to see pictures of them. Nothin' like shoppin' with the girls. Oh to live close to the fun! And you were able to go twice!
Thank you dear friend for the sweet card, what a blessing!

Oh, I wish I could have been there with you! Sounds like tons of fun. I spent the weekend slaving in the yard. Pulling up the most stubborn tree roots and laying stone paths.

What a fun day! What did you find? You said your cart weighed 600 pounds, you must have scored big! Can't wait to see your treasures.
I am so envious! I haven't been for years but you've really made me want to try again! I have no more space for fabulous finds- but I love the experience.

All of y'all look like sisters!! Love the comment about the baby. What is it about the older sibs? They always say that, including me who said it about my baby brother who my mother did like better and that's my story and I'm sticking to it. My son's favorite comment was always "You're gonna let her do WHAT?" or "She got to go WHERE?" or "You bought her WHAT?" Nothing more fun that raising children in my opinion, and then getting to be best friends with them later! xoxo
Nothing, in my view is as fun as spending time with daughters...yours are beautiful! I have 5 and oh boy do we have fun! Come say hi :D
Oh Laura, what an awesome trip with your girls, to do what you dearly love to do and to have them enjoy your passion too! I am sure it's a pinch me moment for you dear friend. Heather, Lauren and Katherine are just so beautiful girls, like their wonderful mother!
My kind of trip!!! For sure!
Your trip got me all excited about our yard sale season coming up - wish we had a good flea market up here!
I SO enjoy spending a day with my daughter, I can only imagine that wonderful time x3. Its so wonderful to enjoy your kids as adults. Your day looks fabulous. All your outside parts all achy and sore and all your inside parts all warm, fuzzy and loved.
I am so glad you had such a great time with your beautiful daughters!! I wish I lived closer cos' I would LOVE to go!!
And I agree ~ McDonalds has the BEST coffee!!

Laura, That's such a great way to spend a day - shopping with your daughters. I have two daughters and we just love having a day out like that- shopping, lunch, shopping, coffee, shopping... you get the picture.

I've read several bloggers posting about Warrenton, so now it's on my bucket list; hopefully next year!
I agree with you, McD's coffee beats Sbucks by a country mile, and several dollars!
Oh you are such a delight! I love reading your posts and your girls are beauties. I know you have so much fun with them. And whoa nellie...what a haul. Mollye
