Hubby and I went to Mexico today to browse around, scout it out, get some booze for my upcoming Wild Women's Weekend.... eleven days and counting! Brought my camera because Mexico must be another word for
color! The dresses in the the top picture show the deep colors and rich lace. The bottom pictures shows the colors of a lively funny bunch of frogs. (I wonder how many other people bring their cameras into stores and take pictures of the merchandise?)
When we go to Mexico, we're wimps! We park on the Texas side and walk into Nuevo Progresso. So for saying we've been to Mexico, it's only about 1/2 mile from the border. Many of the signs are in English, yet the bartering and begging is totally unlike the states. Yes, in some cases, a half mile can make quite a difference.
We didn't buy too much, but we went to a restaurant that was suggested by neighbors. We were the first ones there for lunch and had the place to ourselves for some time. We treated ourselves to "two-fer-one" priced margaritas. Neither hubby or I are big margarita fans, but thought we best check it out for #2 sister who likes them. There were OK and then shortly after lunch was brought, the waiter brought two more. We kindly told him, "No, we didn't order another one." He says, "On the house." On the house, alright! The second one must have had a kick to it, more than the first because I felt it kick-in! Anyway, since the place was basically deserted, I was not sure what the atmosphere was like on a daily basis. Was it rowdy, noisy? Or was it a quiet, subdued place for lunch? So I asked the waiter, "If I bring my six sisters in here, is it OK if we laugh and be loud (which is quite typical of us) or do we need to be quiet?" He said, "Let me ask manager." Not a good sign, I think.
Well, he came back to our table and said, "Fine, fine, you bring your sisters here" or something to that effect. I had two margaritas under my belt so I think that's what he said. :) Anyway, I am really getting excited about my sister's trip down here to Texas for WWW X! Whoo-hoo! We will make our own "margarita-ville" in the southern tip of Texas! Come on down, sisters!
Well, tomorrow the girls come to Texas! Yup! My six sisters are coming to Texas for our tenth annual Wild Women's Weekend. I don't think we will be dressed like the bottom picture and wearing cowboy hats, but then you never know what might happen. Last month or so, I shared a picture I had taken of seven beach beauties. That picture was hanging outside the ladies room in a marina in Wisconsin. This picture of seven cow girls was hanging outside the ladies room in a hotel in western Texas. The top picture is of my sisters and I taken four years ago at My Sister's Place, a restaurant in northern Minnesota, on our sixth annual WWW. We always make sure that we get pictures of the seven of us and I'm sure this weekend will be no exception. Well, until the festivities are over (which will be too soon), I will be ignoring this blog as I party hardy and celebrate Wild Women's Weekend Ten!
