I Wish…

Another bit from Texas…

I wish my Downtown was like McKinney’s.

Their courthouse is in the center square.

Lots of cute shops surround it.

 

 

 

 

Isn’t this a beautiful storefront?

 

This shop was my favorite.

Everything was Restoration Hardware-ish.

Except they were one of a kind finds.

Joe thought he was looking at the price of an entire lamp when he was ONLY looking at the cost of it’s shade.

And he thought the shade was expensive!

YIKES!

Yes, it was that kind of “cool” store.

Where you love everything in the place but can’t afford to even work there.

 

Downtown McKinney has really nice restaurants, too.

Actually, my Downtown has good restaurants too.

However,

I just wish it had fun shops… I couldn’t afford.

The chef at this restaurant trained with Wolfgang Puck.

Nobody was here because it was around 3pm.

Their menu sounded delicious.

They had tons of beer on tap.

We ordered an iced cold beer and their gourmet Mac n’ Cheese appetizer.

Yes, it was as good as it sounds.

Landry spent his time checking out my diamond ring.

See his sense of concentration? accompanied by some drool?

He likes jewelry so much these days…

I  call him my “Little Michael Eller”

(you Findlay friends laugh because you understand…to those outside the area…Michael Eller has the nicest jewelry store here)

Pretty much the only jewelry store here.

Just another reason why…

I wish my Downtown was like McKinney’s.

Shhh, I can’t complain too loudly…the gemologist is sleeping.

However you spend your weekend…

Enjoy it!!

Tomorrow would have been Hannah’s June 11th wedding.

I would have been spending today dolling up The Pits.

Quietly, I thank the Lord… as it is cool and rainy here.

God certainly blessed us in December.

Great is His faithfulness :)
