Fridays Feel Like Saturdays at the Ranch!

 Sherry is off on Fridays so it feels like we get two Saturdays every weekend we are here at the ranch! 


Sherry's parents were taking her and Dean out to celebrate Sherry's birthday and invited us to join them.
This is one of their very favorite restaurants!


Ichiban recently relocated and this is really nice!!
All brand new and beautifully decorated.


It's fun watching our meal being prepared!


Dinner and entertainment at the same time!


A young couple was at the same table and we all enjoyed watching this little boy!
He didn't like loud noises but he loved the fire flames!


I wish I could duplicate the dressing on their salads......


So much fun!





I ordered rice and veggies....
Louis Dean had shrimp but shared them with me. He prefers FRIED shrimp - not grilled.


We had followed Dean and Sherry so we all parted ways after lunch - Les and Jeanie back to Hamilton, Dean and Sherry to do errands and Louis Dean and I were on our own in Waco for the afternoon.


Our first stop was Orscheln Farm and Home Store.
I bought this t-shirt and wrap on clearance for $12!


Roses were in short supply last year here in Texas so when I spied all these rose bushes - I filled my buggy up! We have a rose garden here at the ranch with 3 rose bushes from last year and now we will love 9 more!


Second stop - Hobby Lobby! 
I went up and down every isle and this is all I bought - a bee sign for the bathroom and three artists brushes at 50% off!

Trips to Aldi and HEB followed before we headed back to the ranch.


Thousands of acres are now solar farms......changing the landscape of the country.


I love this beautifull tree on back road to the ranch.


We came in to find the cats asleep on the couch.
They have been playing hard ever since we arrived here on Tuesday.


While the solar  farms are under construction,
 the red lights of the wind farms have further changed the landscape.
This is what we see at night off to the north of us.


This was a perfect ending to such a good day!
