My husband and I took a quick run down to Texas over the weekend and had a great time (when we weren’t getting lost on the highways in and around Dallas)!
One of our favorite places to go is the Stockyards in Fort Worth. After we enjoyed a steak dinner we strolled around for a while in the cool evening air.

Great painted sign in the Fort Worth Stockyards featuring trick ridin’ cowgirls and long horn cattle.
But – all too soon the weekend was over and it was time to head home. On our way out of Dallas we stopped at Bally Bead Co. in Rockwall where I spent a couple of heavenly hours shopping at one of my very favorite bead stores. Here’s a picture of just part of my haul – great stuff!
