We had a lovely day with Travis and Sharon, cousins who live in Central Texas.We visited a quaint little town not too far from their home.
Found neat little houses with tin roofs and flowers planted everywhere~
We enjoyed exploring around this little Texas town. !!!
Lunch was fun; only two choices in the tiny town..Both were crowded~ where did all the people come from?
Inside we settled in for a Texas cafe experience.
I was the only one not ordering steak. I went for the catfish...
When our lunch arrived...I had hit the jackpot~
five large catfish filet's topped fries and rings~ on a
Texas size platter. Another Texas size bowl of coleslaw came with it. DON'T MESS WITH TEXAS!
Around the corner was parked THE CAR...seen before in my joke page.
Think it belonged to the owner of the other restaurant. I couldn't resist going in to just to check it out.
There I met the owner who was seated holding his 6 wk old baby ~ his young wife joined for the photo. ~ The place was packed with happy, happy people.
Made me want to sample their food too. .
This nice, neat sandwich and tea room had no customers at all. Back home in Virginia, this room would be packed...those Texans seemingly love being surrounded with lots of stimulation and real man food !!
Leaving the little town, along the roadwe stopped for a few photos.
Large and wild Jack Rabbits are very abundant in West Texas
We stopped for a close look at
what was still in bloom of the famous and prolific Wild Texas Blue Bonnets ~

As you can see...we were a little late in the season to see them at their best.
Have you ever seen Thistle in Bloom?
Neat little wildflowers ... worth a stop and photo to share.
Have you ever seen Thistle in Bloom? Wild and considered a weed in Texas.
One guy out there decided to gather, package and sell the seeds.

Word is that he made millions in the seed business.
I think I have actually bought some.
They didn't grow in Virginia.

They are growing wild along the roadside and in the fields of Central Texas;

June, I agree with you about the tea room. We had a lovely one in Buda. Great food and atmosphere. I took two of my grandaughters there. They had to try on the hats displayed in the tea room. It was great. It closed and I think there is an antique store there now.
