First Time at Whataburger


Janet has never eaten at Whataburger in her life!! On several road trips we have had conversations regarding how yummy Whataburger ketchup is! Some people know this to be a fact, and you know who you are:) Janet thought we had lost our minds, being so excited about a fast food ketchup. Thursday we were on a road trip to Corsicana and saw this Whataburger sign. We decided this was the time for her to step up to doing her first Whataburger meal complete with ketchup! We had to back-track to get there through a less than desirable neighborhood but we made it. I think Janet found Whataburgers ketchup to be just as the sign said, she had 3 packets with her lunch.

Retreat in Milford Texas!

The 9 of us had such a fun time in Milford, Texas, at Our House Retreat. This is such a super place, food was great, rooms,crop room and 2 really super nice people. Of course the retreat would not be complete without some excitment and funny things!
We stopped in Corsicana to shop at Scrappin Good Time but our GPS,Jill, was not wanting to give us directions, so we detoured via a beautiful cemetery. We met Susie and did some shopping, then on the Milford, Texas. Milford is a tiny town and we even got lost there, so we stopped at the police station and got directions from a very handsome policeman. We arrived at Our House, unpacked, and headed for Wax. We had lunch at the 1879 cafe, shopped and visited with Carolyn at the Crafty Scrapper and then went to Just Scrap It, to finish out the day shopping. The rest of Friday night was spent scrapping and visiting, it was so much fun to catch up with people I don't see very often.Janet said that Debbie and I kept her awake all Friday night with our snoring, probably true, I am, sure so she was moving to another room. Saturday was a yummy breafast and off to more scrapping. That night around 11 Janet said she wasn't feeling well and as the night progressed she got worse. About 1:30 Debbie and I took her to Wax. to the ER, amazing how you can find a hospital in middle of the night in a strange town! They gave her an iv and meds for her upset stomach and soon it was 5:30 am. Debbie and I getting totally silly over a blue barf bag and it was a good thing the ER was not busy! We decided to go sleep in Janets SUV while she was getting another IV so we had to bump butts to keep warm. A side note, everyone was making fun of my socks with my Crocs but those socks kept my feet warm! We finally got back to Milford around 6:30 am and crashed for a few hours. Janet felt better after the meds but was still weak so we left around 1:30 Sunday. This was such a great retreat and I can't wait to do it again minus the ER visit.

Retreat Weekend


What a fun sleepless weekend in a town full of history! MD Resort is a beautiful bed and breakfast in Aurora Texas, 13 miles from the county seat, Decatur, Texas. This town is small, quaint and full of history! Janet and I took a quick walking tour of this county seat and these are some of the fun sights on our walk!
The retreat was great fun, lots of fun ladies and good food! Patsy of Scrappers Hideaway has great retreats for those of you in the central Texas area! We made 2 shopping stops, the Scrap Pad in Colleyville, lots of fun and a huge store, and the smaller but very friendly store in Decatur! We also walked the grounds of the resort, visting the buffalo, donkeys, and horses just waiting for our attention! Yes, in the picture of the resort there are people in the pool and it is October! Gotta love the Fall in Central Texas!
