A quick trip to Waco to meet my mom cleared any doubt in my mind that whatever navigation skills I have are from my paternal side.
It was a lovely day for a drive through the hill country and an opportunity to meet up with my mom is always welcome. Waco is halfway for us, but oddly enough I arrived 30 minutes before her so I checked out a cute boutique full of mini stores called Spice Village – located downtown next to Ninfa’s.
I usually opt for Ninfa’s or Rudy’s when in Waco, but Collins Street Bakery has been on my list of places to try so I was happy to have my mom along to check out this little deli. We didn’t try their famous fruitcake, but I can report they have a nice little soup/sandwich combo and they will give you a free cookie if you ask to try one.
Since my last trip to Salado was on a Sunday some of the stores were closed and I have intended to go back. Today was a good reason to do just that. If you need a break from I-35, Salado is a wonderful place to stop for a breather (Mom).
There are quite a few stores to check out on the main drag – Magnolia’s, Side by Side, Southern Comforts, etc etc
This looks like a place my mom and I would like
Horsefeathers was my favorite new find – they have a great shop located in a cute, little house with gifts and decor at very reasonable prices.
It’s been about 15 years ago that my friend Jessica’s mom told us chickens were in and I think they are back (or maybe they never left)- I see them everywhere
I’d love to show you what I bought, but it is a gift for a friend with an upcoming birthday who I think may actually read this. The picture of the sparrow is from Taylors.
I usually try to avoid I-35, but there are some really great places to stop along the way, if you have the time.
Can I also say, what is with wordpress changing their format constantly? Is there a trick I don’t know to keep it from changing?
