Fredericksburg, Tx

As promised my adventures in Peach land:

Four of my friends, my boyfriend, and myself all decided that we were not going to let this summer go to waste. We all had different ideas about what we wanted to do so yesterday we merged a few of them together. I woke up at an ungodly hour to go meet my friends at school at 7:30. We then, for some unknown reason, decided to pile into the most reckless drives car and drive to The Mongolian Pancake Haus. It was amazing!!! I had never been before but it was one of the best breakfasts I have ever had.
Tips when you go to the MPH:
-order the Waffles with Bacon in them, to die for
-go with friends and be the youngest loudest group there.
- don't get freaked out by the rotating toilet seat covers in the bathroom, I was told they are completely sanitary.
We then drove to Fredericksburg. It usually takes a little over and hour to get there. But Sarah drove. We made it in under an hour. So scary.

Tips for Fredericksburg:
-go to the visitors center, they will help you so much
-pick your own peaches, its way more fun
-skip lunch and binge eat peaches in a local park
-leave peaches that are not as ripe as you would like them to be in a brown paper bag in the hot car while you go shopping, they will be perfectly ripe when you get back.

I love antiquing and was super surprised that my friends did too. The first store that we walked into had two comb and brush sets for my vanity set. Two!!! I walked around for two days at one of Texas's  largest antique shows looking for that set and as soon as I walked in to a little shop in Fredericksburg I found them!! (P.S the Round Top antique show is still super amazing, highly recommended)
Tips for Antiquing in Fredericksburg:
-smile and say hi to the lady working the cash register, this will come in handy latter
-try on all the hats
-take pictures of your boyfriend in vintage cowboy gear.
-marvel over the old taxidermy
-drool over vintage dresses
-find cool objects to make terrariums in
-be super nice to the lady at the cash register, strike up a conversation, haggle over the price and Bam! great deal on a antique find.
-ask the nice lady where other antique and thrifts shops are, continue your amazing journey
We found some pretty great stuff, on of my friends bought a glass dome thing to build a succulent garden under, I found my comb and brush set, another friend found a jar of shells for her room and a really cool umbrella. We went shopping in the "foo foo" stores on the main street and my boyfriend bought a hunting knife at a store called Something for the Men. We also got FroYo. Its not outing unless you get FroYo. On our way out of Fredericksburg Sarah drove again. Somehow the minivan full of teenagers ended up racing a Honda Civic driven by a thirty year old man. Thrilling yet terrifying, kids don't try this at home, or ever for that matter.
I had an amazing time. the group that I went with is super drama free and we just got to hang out and have fun and enjoy each others company. I am so blessed to have such group of people in my life.

My house in a Looney Tunes Cartoon.

I live in the country and there is a population of feral cats that wains and waxes, mostly in congruency with the coyote population. This being said we were not too surprised when we began hearing meowing coming from our ceiling.  Long story short we managed to get two adorable tabby kittens down from our attic.

One has already gone to a new home where he is being loved and we get weekly updates on his adjustment to his new life. The other one, that we call King David or just David for short, is slotted to go to a new home as well. The family he is intended for didn't realize they were such small kittens that needed to be feed every three hours so we are holding on to him until he needs less maintenance. He and his brother whom we called Prince Harry are the cutes things in the world. David plays with my little sisters miniature yorkie and will hid under the couch and then spring out and attack him.

He also loves bitting toes and playing with the shoelaces of our shoes that we leave laying around. David also really loves my dog Cody. Cody is pretty much cool with anything, which is why he works with children. He is okay with fingers in his mouth and ears, and things over his eyes and shoes being put on his feet. Cody is the most laid back dog in the history of existence.

David loves Cody for this particular attribute as well as the fact that Cody is super furry and puts off a lot of heat. Have y'all ever seen the Looney Tunes cartoon with Marc Anthony the bulldog and Pussyfoot the kitten. You need to watch it because the real life cartoon is happening in my house right now.
Including David kneading Cody's fur and Cody being just a bit over protective when he is left in charge of David. I really want to keep David but I know that he will be happy in his new home where they also have a very large dog. Hopeful he will be able to stay for most of the summer. 

Thanks for being a temporary part of our family David, you have brought us much joy and we will miss you and remember you when you are gone. 



As always like, leave comments, and thank you to the unknown person that always g+'s my posts. You are the real MVP.
