For Fixer Upper fans, Chip and Joanna Gaines recently opened their new store at a renovated silo property in Waco, TX. Lines on Saturday to get in the store extended around the block despite rain. Sunday was beautiful but the store was closed. The wonderful Baylor campus is just a few blocks away.
Magnolia silos
Pictured here in front of the Silos at the Magnolia Market, with a cupcake from the Silos Bakery. Every time I come here, it’s always a joy.

Our room was beautiful and we loved the hotel. The staff was very friendly and helpful. There is not a coffee maker in the room, only a hot water kettle and instant coffee and tea. The grout in the bathroom and entry way of our room was dirty.

#windowseat   Not really sure exactly WHERE this is, but it was on the way into Houston, so I'm guessing we were around Waco, Texas.  Window seat strategies take into consideration time of day.  Having a seat on the left-hand side of the plane allowed me some views that were illuminated by the late afternoon sun AND
