This past weekend, fall came to visit Austin for the first time all year. And with it, it brought many friends in the form of much-needed rain, impromtu family and friend gatherings, and house showings.
Anyone that is not from here would probably think that we were all a bit off our rockers because of how excited we were to see rain. You would have thought that we got snow. Everyone was outside just staring at it with huge smiles on their faces. Women walked proudly with frizzy hair and puddle stained shoes.
Our house officially went on the market on Friday. You would have thought the rain would deter any home buyers but that was not the case.
After I primped and poufed my house on Saturday morning in order for it to look its best, we headed down to my parents' house. 2 of my 3 brothers ended up there too due to a rained out camping trip. Then even more family unexpectedly dropped by. As Little B played with her cousins, the adults had a great time drinking wine, eating steaks, and watching the dark rain clouds roll by. It is funny that something as simple as rain clouds can get adults so worked up. And of course, the A&M game was on TV. My lone Texas Tech brother was outnumbered by Aggies. Whoop!
Sunday brought more house showings. So we spent the day with my friend, Pansy, and her little girl. And with the temperature in the lows 70s, it was down right chilly. Nothing better to celebrate the chill in the air than open windows and the best chicken fried chicken and fried okra in town. I love me some Hoover's Cooking!
Seriously, if you are ever in Austin and need some good southern soul food, Hoover's is your place. They don't mess around. Just be sure to wear your stretchy pants.
And while the babies slept, Pansy and I kicked back for a Pioneer Woman cooking show marathon.
That may have been the best weekend I have had all year.
