Dallas Trip!!

Thank you for your sweet prayers yesterday for Trista and me.  We made it to the big city and back home with no issues.  We arrived at the medical facility early, and they were able to get her right in.  We Should have her liver MRI results back early next week.  The reason we had to travel to Dallas for the test is because in our area they do not have this special type of machine that gives the best MRI results of the liver.  


 After Trista finished the MRI, we went to a "New" Mexican restaurant for lunch.  I can not even remember the name of the place, but what I do know is that they serve huge portions.  


Trista ordered sour cream stacked enchiladas, and I ordered shrimp enchiladas.  This place serves HUGE portions which meant we brought over half of our meal home.  Sam ate my leftovers for dinner last evening. 



We then visited the "Kate Weiser" Chocolate store.  

Kate Weiser Chocolate is a Dallas-based artisan chocolate company known for its intricate, hand-painted confections

The work of her hand painted chocolates is so pretty and as a chocolatier she knows how to make smooth chocolates.  


I am not a big chocolate lover, but I did purchase one and I will say, it was very smooth.  
The pricing is a bit out of my range, but for someone who loves chocolates (like Trista) this makes for a perfect treat after having had an MRI.  

On the way home, we ended up stopping at an Antique shop a little closer to home.  Trista found a few items and as for me.....I made no purchase!  


We both were tired by the time we made it home, but we really had a wonderful day.......

Again last evening, we received a LOT of rain.  I'm anxious to see how many inches of rain we have had.  
We are receiving all this rain from the short lived tropical storm "Barry."  This just might mean more mushrooms!!  lol

This morning, we will be waiting on a delivery of the new mattresses we purchased just before Labor Day... Yay!! a discount!!  Wow, mattresses are HIGH but we really need to make this purchase.  Hopefully we will have a good nights rest tonight..  

Other news?  I finally found a dress for our grandson's (Trey) and (Savannah's) wedding.  The wedding is only 14 days away....September 20th.  

Hoping you all have a very SWEET Saturday...

Shug....

  1. Ohh pretty chocolates! Almost too pretty to eat. The enchiladas sound delicious. Wow good thing you found a dress with only 14 days before. I remember that stressing me out when my son married. I had ordered a dress and it didn’t work out so I had to scramble to buy something: it ended up, I wasn’t pleased with what I bought but I kept mumbling to myself in the dressing room, “ it’s not about me or my dress and no one will even notice.” And it all worked out! I actually like the dress now just not for my son’s wedding.
    I hope all is well with Trista’s test and congratulations on the new mattress. We could use a new one as well. Take care.

    Praying for good results on the MRI and glad you made it there and back safely.
    We had mexican food last night and I'm eating leftovers right now. :)
    I'm worried about you - you aren't a big chocolate fan? Shug!!!
