Life isn’t about waiting for the storm to pass, it’s about learning how to dance in the rain.

Estrogen Therapy

Do you like this post?

Karen, an old friend invited me to join her, and some other gals for a weekend of antiquing, shopping, and a stay in Brenham at the Ingelside Bed and Breakfast. I picked up Karen in town and we headed North for a "Girl's Weekend". We decided to stop in La Grange and try a restaurant I heard about called Bistro 108. Our lunch was great, the food was amazing and we even split a piece of Buttermilk Pie, low calorie, of course!! Soon it was time to hit the road again and we headed to Warrenton for some serious shopping. We parked the car and began looking at most all of the booths for that special "thing". The weather was warm, with a good breeze, fall was in the air, but the crowds seemed much smaller than in the past. Later we drove to Brenham to meet the group, unpack at our B&B and enjoy some wine, fruit and cheese. We enjoyed dinner that evening with the group and then turned in pretty early.
The following morning we enjoyed breakfast before hitting the road to Round Top. We decided to investigate the booths around the square and made a few purchases before lunch. The crowds were heavier today, the last day of the event and traffic was creeping along. We inched our way back to Warrenton to grab some cute birdhouse garden ornaments we had seen the day before. After a couple more hours of serious shopping we drove back to Brenham, the wine and cheese were waiting. Sitting around the formal living room we shared our war stories, showed off our purchases from the day, had lots of laughs, especially about the guy that would read your face in Round Top. Dinner was at a local steakhouse and we were lucky to get a table for our big group.
Sunday morning we packed, enjoyed a yummy breakfast, took group photos, said our good-byes and drove to Round Top for one last sweep of the booths before heading home. We arrived back home after a very enjoyable weekend of antique shopping and estrogen therapy.
