Last Part of the Texas Trip

Once we got home, we came right over to Popo & Moma Jo's to celebrate Jack's birthday, again! Aunt Kelly & Abbott came over and we partied all over again. Needless to say, I'm just now getting the last few pictures up from our trip to Athens. I'll post pictures from the weekend later.

Dad took this artsy photo of the windmill at Shirley's.

Jack's running back to Wannie's from Shirley's.

Wednesday afternoon we went to Edom, TX for lunch at the Edom Bakery. Dad met the chef at an Athens chamber meeting so we decided to check it out. This town is so tiny but it has 2 restaurants featured in Texas Monthly or Texas Highways, a blueberry farm and some very cool little shops. I bought a handmade rain gauge and could have bought several of the handmade bird houses. I also bought a candle that was made there and a truck for Jack & Abbott that was made by a local man who supplements his social security income. Those trucks have been a hit!

Here's Jack & Wannie waiting for lunch at the bakery.

I just love this picture of Wannie & Poppa. They are about to celebrate their 61st wedding anniversary!

Popo & Moma Jo.

Me & Jack.

Here's "The Shed". It was featured in one of the Texas magazines. I'm really sad we had to come home, they have "pickin' and grinnin'" every Tuesday.

2 little shops in town.

The bakery where we ate.

The museum in town.

Just a cool old building, I thought.

We had a great trip, and we're looking forward to the next time we get to visit. It's always good to come home, but sad to leave!
