Great Wolf Blog #2

YEA!!! Just had Mommy time in Grapevine. Main Street is somewhat like Main Street in the Hill Country towns like Fredericksburg. The weather was too dawg gone hot to stay long, but I visited a few boutiques just to get out of the hotel. Anticipating the hot weather, my plans were to at least stop by Holy Grounds - Christian Bookstore & Gifts. It was advertised in our room's Guest Service Directory, under the recommended businesses. Adorable and welcoming place to visit. There was some coffee cake coffee to sample. As steamy as I was from the summer heat, I couldn't resist. Delish! Found some unique bookmarks from www.RememberMEjewelry.com. Perfect for my season of life, the titles are "Overcomer" and "Surrender". I had forgotten the advertisment mentioned going to visit Barbee & Ken. It wasn't until I got ready to make my purchase that I saw an adorable, black lab laying so quietly on the floor. In a kennel, close to the register was a schnauzer who wasn't too happy about the hat I was wearing. I can't remember who was which, but they were very cute! Nancy was the lady who greeted me and helped me with my purchase. After a brief chat with her about Sam Moon purses and chlorine that stings your eyes just by being in the area, I was on my way back to Great Wolf. Ahhhh! I so needed that Mommy time. Oh yeah! I also drove around a little bit and took some photos of some beautifully unique homes. Just wish that I could have taken pictures on Main St.

God moment: Listening to Francesca Battistelli in the car, I was calmed with the reality that as awkward as it may seem to others, it's okay to spend time exploring new things alone. I may not have had my family or a friend with me to visit historic downtown Grapevine, BUT . . . there was a peaceful excitement knowing that God was with me. He's always willing to spend time with you, and it doesn't have to be such serious moments. He'll even join you for some browsing and shopping time! I love You Father God!
