Fathers Day!

What? Father's day was well over a month ago?
Be that as it may, we had a really great day. And it's worth sharing.


We met our friends in Elgin for a delicious Mexican breakfast, and sweet, sweet Nutty gave the Fluff this withering look:


She's from Brooklyn, y'all. This is how we know she likes him.

The two of them are too much - they're definitely on the same wavelength, and it's hillarious.

'Brito was the perfect bandit, and charmed us all senseless while we waited for our food. Nutty thought it was hillarious that I kept calling it breakfast. We met just before 11:00 on a Saturday. Lunch for the non-farmers who rise with dawn. Breakfast for those of us just beginning our weekend adventure. Delicious, and a really good time, for all.

After our visit with the country mice from the Big City, we headed out to this place. If you haven't been, I highly recommend it. I also recommend waiting until October or later. It was HOT. But, in early summer, they do have some adorable young'uns. And what's cuter than a miniature miniature? Exactly! After visiting the tiny little horses in Brenhan, and asking the nuns there to pray for our immortal souls (actually, I'm pretty sure the ancient nun who was stunned out of her meditative prayer by Guthrie running up in the chapel and yelling "HI!" starting praying for his little soul without any additional prompting) we headed to Fayetteville. What's in Fayetteville? Durn near nuthin'. We stayed in a tiny little white cottage right on the main square and listened to the trains. It was quiet and peaceful and close to the best pie in Texas, and the reason for our trip. Yep, the whole weekend is Washington county was built around the need to have pie here. If you've never been, I highly recommend it as a day trip. Short drive, and a great meal.

Sunday morning we ate at a little cafe right on the square in Fayetteville. The place was mentioned as one of the best small town cafe's in TX, in a Texas Monthly article recently, but the charm eluded me. Of course, they were out of what I wanted, and I ended up with a big ol' plate of bagged ice-berg lettuce. Brit ended up with fried catfish, and homemade father's day cards.

Good weekend. Cute family. And a handful of small towns in central TX that we can say we roamed around.
