WOW.....I woke up at the same time as usual.....came "downstairs" quietly, made my dark, rich French Roast coffee...and then quietly turned on the fireplace and then....looked outside. UGH!!!! Foggy, misty, windy, very damp and cool. And.......it just didn't get any better than that first visual that I had of today......NASTY!!!
We kind of just puttered around TheHowserHouse this morning......and then left at 11AM for Palm Shadows RV Park where we were to pick up Bob and Beverly....members of our Cedar Creek RV Owners Club. Bob and I set up this little meeting after talking on the phone a couple of times and a couple of emails back forth through the CCRVOC website forum. And so......after getting a tour of their new and really, really nice new Cedar Creek rig, we drove back over to Weslaco for lunch.
The 1st Lady and I had heard many good comments about a little BBQ place......"Fat Daddy's"......and....yep, it IS a good place to eat!!!! Finding it was a bit difficult because I didn't have the EXACT directions....just knew that it was on International Blvd that leads to Progreso, Mexico. Well, we drove to far south...and after getting some better verbal instructions, we turned around and went back towards Bus. 83. Again....we didn't see it, but then I turned again and started south...and VOILA!!!! There it was, the sign being hidden by the large number of cars and trucks in their parking lot!!!! It is on the right hand side....as you head south from Bus. 83 and International......less than one block from the junction.
Food???? Well, I had the BBQ pulled pork sandwich....and it was VERY good!!!! The Fr. Fries were nothing special, but they were not greasy, as sometimes happens in other small cafes. Well.....this is not a small place as it seats quite a few people in several different rooms......and when we arrived, we had to wait for a few minutes for a table for four.
The 1st Lady also had the pork sandwich....and Bob and Beverly had the pork lunch plate. The prices were not too bad, but I believe the sandwiches were a bit higher than other places around this area for no more than is served. The fries are extra....., but.......we will certainly return to eat here again!!!! Should you go to eat there?? BY ALL MEANS!!!!! Well worth a visit there.
After returning Bob and Beverly to their Cedar Creek, the 1st Lady and I ran out to east Mercedes to look around at the Outlet Mall. We didn't purchase anything of any significance, but we enjoyed walking around, albeit a cold and damp walk from store to store. I did get to pick up a Starbucks Cappuccino....dry. As always.....it is a great cup of strong, rich coffee with just the right amount of espresso, steamed milk(very little), and the frothed milk on top. WONDERFUL!
Returning to TheHowserHouse......we settled in for the the damn and chilly evening. Turned on the fireplace, made a pot of Earl Grey tea, had a few of Hersey's Dark Chocolate Kisses.....and watched some dumb tellie shows!!!
It has been a really great day, despite the weather!!!! We really enjoyed our lunch with Bob and Beverly......and I am certain that the warmth from their friendship and the good food made sure that for me........
LIFE IS REALLY GREAT!!!!!!.....And, I hope it is for all of you, also!!!!
