Yee haw!


My inner Texan has been unleashed! I've been enjoying a "girls weekend" in Texas with three very good friends and the kind husband of one who tolerates all of us invading their house. I'm so thankful to God for these weekends with them, although I do miss my sweet husband very much.

...But even though I love my New Mexico home, it does this Texas girl's heart good to see the Lone Star flag flying lots of places. My only disappointment has been the absence of the famous Cinnamon Roll cappuccino at the Chevron in Colorado City. (sigh--What happened, Chevron? It was just there a year ago!)

So life is pretty good when you get to have new adventures with wonderful friends and your biggest worry at the moment is where to get a tasty caffeine fix. These are times to treasure.

LOL! I am guessing that your once-a-year visit wasn't enough to sustain the cinnamon roll cappuccino business...

So glad that you had a fun weekend!

Love to see the Texas spirit still alive and well.

By the way, Die Hard is the best Christmas movie ever.

We here in TX have had to adjust the coffee choices to satisfy people who come to visit and like "fruity" coffee drinks. If we could find a way to have a whipped cream dispenser attached to the machine as well...well some would just consider that to be the cat's pajams. Right Dave? (I'd drink one with ya)

ummmm...dan, your making fun of me has inspired me. I'm now drinking a chai with whipped cream.

Tsk, tsk - When will all you coffeeheads learn the delicious virtues of the many flavored hot teas!

Christi said...

not to disrespect an elder, but actually chai is a tea...

and after living in England for 2 years, I do at times fancy a spot of cream Lady Grey...

Right now it looks like I only have earl grey and some bavarian berry tea. Yep, I have bavarian berry tea, and I like it! And the fact that I think Die Hard is a Christmas movie proves that I'm still a man!

...So if I ever decide that Die Hard is a Christmas movie (which won't happen), would that make me a man, too?

Well, it would be a step in the right direction. You'd probably be manlier in spirit than a certain womanly twin brother of mine.

Die Hard NOT a Christmas movie?! What you are you thinking, man?!

How did things go at the airfield? Are you now out of excuses for not writing a book?

Alison Bryant said...

I was expecting that second question and wondering when it would come.
My visit there was great and I got lots of info. I want to go back.
Maybe I'd have more time for my story if I didn't have another person's sequel I'm working through.

Daniel...any comeback for your bro? (Although I hope you don't have a Bro, for those of you who know what I'm talking about.)

Late in comeback...Kara does not let me near the computer much. I do not need to clarify that Die Hard is NOT a Christmas movie. Might as well say that rasberry mocha is "manly". I am a big enough man not to have to prove that I am a man. And any man that can do that can admit he does not need an excuse to see "John McLain" save the day...and admit that day is not Christmas.

I don't need Die Hard to prove I'm a man; I've got a beard to do that. Although, that could just prove that I'm a woman who escaped from the circus. Hmmmm....my beard plan may be backfiring....

Or people will think you escape from Amish country.

Well, maybe that too. I'm just not as good as making furniture as them.

Ye-up. It's pretty nice, too, Sissy.

maybe I should take a picture of my beard while wearing my knockoff starbucks shirt (says fivebucks instead of starbucks)

Well, I did request a current family picture for Christmas. Might as well be with facial hair and a fivebucks shirt!
