Memorial Day events

Well its been a nice relaxing Memorial Day around Casa de Blundell.
I do believe this is the first time Laurie and I have had the holiday off since we finished school.
We slept in till around 10ish.
Lazied around the house till around 1ish, watching the “Little People, Big World” marathon.
Then around 1 we made our way over to Ennis where Laurie’s great-grandparents and grandparents lived.
We found the spot where her great-grandfather Charles Mosshart had his men’s clothing store.
It’s now a taxidermist and what looks like a variety/antique/women’s/tourist trap store. Neither were open so we didn’t get to go in and have a look around. Outside there’s not much left of the Mosshart clothing store other than a large “M” that’s still carved in the stone above the doors of each store.

The taxidermist left the M there and the women’s store had it painted over with bluebonnets.


After our stop in downtown Ennis we visited the Crape Myrtle cemetery where both her grandparents and great-grandparents are buried.
We then made our way to Chick-fil-A. Mmmm. Always a good stop, anytime of day – especially when you haven’t been there in over a month (what’s going on!?).
We wrapped up our errands with a trip to HEB to fill our weekly shopping list and then did a quick park-and-grab geocache by the local Boy Scout Cabin.
Now we’re back home, Presley’s cuddled up on her blanket next to Laurie and her iBook. I’m across the coffee table with my Gateway laptop and we’re settling in.
We’re watching more of the “Little People, Big World” marathon that we TiVo’d. And before the night’s end I’m sure we’ll try out our bottle of homemade cream soda.

*EDIT* – oh and yes…. it was our first one month anniversary 😉
