Over and over, as my posts from the past when I was visiting Houston show, my car loves to go out into the country. And if time allows I end up, over and over, at the same places. (Drat - it is thundering, and lightening I may have to shut down AGAIN)
For a different type of day I can drive West on HWY 90 for about 25 minutes and there is what used to be the small town of Richmond. Now we say Richmond – Rosenberg because these two small towns have grown so they meet making one big, no personality city. But there is a small area of ‘old town Richmond’ right off 90 that the locals have tried to preserve and make into a small but pleasant place to walk, shop for antiques and local crafts, and have a good old fashioned drugstore hamburger for lunch.
The hamburger is okay but the shops are a lot of fun, a stroll down memory lane for me. Old glass and other collectables line the walls and windows.
Just one way that my car, camera and I spend a pleasant Sunday afternoon.
When I arrive, I hope I can get a tour with you! Looks like a lovely place to spend an afternoon and what a perfect spot for a break away from the boys. Beautiful photos as always -- I LOVE the current header photo, the B&W rose (rose?). Gorgeous!!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to meet you all in the 'real' world. Seems I've known you forever, watching the boys grow in photo. And yes I love antiquing and am searching for a partner in crime. Many of these small country towns west of Houston/ Sugarland and Katy. Even Galveston is a nice day trip.
ReplyDeleteThe flower is a rose, a bright orange rose that I converted last week for our B&W prompt.
ReplyDeleteLove, love your new header, that is beautiful! I share your weakness for a country road to nowhere. I like the place you visited for this post, love old glass, the pure, bold colours.
ReplyDeleteThat drugstore/diner looks so inviting.

I like to have that hamburger with you, but I prefer to go to the parks like you always went.
ReplyDeleteWe will make a date of it, for sure! :)
