A Peachy Keen Weekend

This weekend was the anniversary of our Houston trip. You know, the one where everything went wrong. Lol. So J wanted to celebrate. We ended up deciding to stay the night in the town we first stopped at on the trip. The first stop was Cooper Farms and the town was Fairfield.

Cooper Farms is a cute store with a little bit of everything but the thing we were looking forward to was the fruit wines. J decided we should both also choose a weird flavored soda to drink, and we got a couple fried pies since I've never had one and they had his favorite. 

We went to dinner at El Jimador and apparently chose VERY well as the place was HOPPIN when we left. Apparently it's also the only place to get a drink around town, but we didn't know that at the time. 

It was amazing.

All the shops we wanted to check out were closed at 6, so we got some peach sangria and went back to the hotel. We tried our weird sodas (sweet, but good) and watched some TV movies until sleepy time.

Day 2 we decided on breakfast at Bobby Jo's donuts before heading downtown to check out the Armadillo Emporium.

Good ham, egg, and cheese croissant and cappuccino (from a machine, with the powder, old school style).

Cute store. The proprietor told us to stop in Corsicana and check out the bakery there, so we did.

Then we wandered around downtown a bit.

Apparently this is where Wolf Brand Chili got started.

nice murals

After checking out some thrift stores and kitchen shops, we decided to go to lunch at the Italian place in town.

stuffed mushrooms and garlic knots. Yes, that's a lemon in the middle and they were AMAZING.

a peach bellini for me, to keep with the theme

I don't remember the name of my pasta, but it had chicken, mushrooms, and artichoke hearts. I was in Heaven. 

We headed home via a game exchange place where I found a Mel Brooks movie collection of 8 movies for $10. You can bet we left with that! Hehe. Now its Sunday and I'm gonna head out west to see my friend who needs help cleaning out her closet. 😁 I'm good at the thrift store runs, whether shopping or dropping off!! Hehe. We've been having stuff from the registry delivered, so that's been fun too. Gotta find the places for all the things! Working on the thank you notes as I get addresses for them, so please be patient, they are coming. Now I need stamps... it never ends!! 

Much love, MUAH! 😘
