Hubby and I had talked
earlier in the week
about taking a country drive
this weekend
Well the weekend is here
so after our morning coffee
and a few chores
we headed out to explore
 |
I love the Texas back roads
 |
| Even the cows were looking for a shady spot out of the Texas heat!! |
The first town our
farm to market road led us to
was Yoakum
This small town has
lots of Rustic Charm
 |
What's a Texas town without a Dance Hall!! |
Down Town Yoakum
Hubby let me pop in
Bluebonnet Treasures
for a look see
After meandering around
this tiny town we decided
to find a local spot to eat lunch
 |
| We had the blue plate special Chicken Fried Steak w/ cream gravy 3 sides, iced tea & spice cake Got to love a country cafe!! After lunch we hit the road again This FM Road led us to Cuero  |
My favorite place in Cuero is
Wagner's Hardware
 |
| This old Hardware store has been here for over 65 years, and is ozzing with country charm Upstairs above the Hardware Store you'll find Granny's Attic Upstairs or Downstairs you're sure to find that treasure you simply can't live without!!!!!  |
Across from Wagner's
you'll find one of the
many antique shops
in this cute town
Around the corner I found this great little shop
It's called
Off Broadway Antiques
 |
| While I was shopping hubby met this little assistant to the shop keeper  |
 |
| Cuero is a Texas Jewel and one of our best kept secrets!!
On the road again
As Willie says
We headed to Yorktown
  
Sorry Yorktown, but we just
couldn't feel your charm
so after a quick trip through downtown.......
We were ready for this country road
to take us home.....
Every Little Birdie says ....
a country drive
on a beautiful Saturday afternoon
with my favorite guy......
Life is Good!!

Thanks so much for becoming a follower!!!! I love new friends. Please visit me often and I'll pop over and see you too!
DeleteThat looks like a fun drive, I would love to visit Cuero now. I lived in Fredricksburg, which is another really cute town, for a short time back in the late 80's. However, we ended up back in the Pacific NW where I was born and raised. My hubby and I also love to go for drives through the country back roads. Thanks for sharing!
