We make a very weak attempt, but we’ve decided we can’t shop any more. The best thing about today was Jessie’s brisket sandwich “the best brisket I’ve ever had.” See pic of us the with the brisket man. I had ice cream instead. We were going to stay for the “prom” but we are not...

Night 3 at Zapp Hall. Last night we met Dave (or Armando), a singer songwriter who currently resides in San Miguel de Allende. He sang on stage between the bands and stole the show. We heard him sing “Blackbird” 4 different ways. Tonight he hung in the booth with us and was our personal jukebox...

Day 3 at Round Top antique fair. Today we ventured a bit further out, and drove down the road a mile. There are many different “fields” where dealers set up, and each has it’s own flavor. This was like an upscale shopping district in Dallas. You could find a farm table for $4000.00, a bergere...

One of the best things about this fair (we’ll call it Warrenton, since it’s technically different than Round Top) is twilight shopping. The different sections...

Still day 3… Did I mention how HOT it is? 100 degrees, and humid, like stepping out into a bathtub at 8am every morning. We set out to look for great things to buy. Amazing how everyone takes a check without asking for id. We found a wonderful space with the nicest dealers. I spent...

Day 3, cont..Jessie has a great friend (thanks, Alicia!) who somehow found all sorts of vacancies in the area. Susan (our savior) picks up the phone first and welcomes us with open arms and a hug. We are smack dab in the middle of the market, in a very clean and cool 2 bedroom. She...

Day 2 continued… at 2am, we arrive at the lovely Motel, the only hotel with availability (3 months ahead) and a bargain at $55 per night….. We are so tired we ignore the interior hollow core door that is our only protection from the outside elements in La Grange, Texas. As well as the janky...
