It's been a very long day, so I'm going to make this short and sweet to give the freepers who attended lunch today a place to post.
My day started out at 5 a.m. when I headed down the North Dallas Tollway to meet Slyfox and SWake at the Galleria. When I arrived late, (my bad) Slyfox and SWake were waiting with Slyfox's husband. They quickly hopped in the car and we headed straight south - for San Antonio!
We stopped briefly in Waco at an IHOP next to Baylor campus and ate before making the rest of the long journey. It's been 20+ years since I was there and that place still makes me queasy. (Baylor, not the IHOP!)
We made great time and arrived almost an hour early at Mamacitas, a very fine Mexican food restaurant! Shortly after we arrived, Gracey arrived and started getting things moving. After some disappointing discussion with the manager who denied the possibility that we had previously reserved a private room, we were finally seated at the VIP table with a few side tables if we needed them. As it turns out, we needed them and then some!
I had a wonderful time. It was such a pleasant day sharing stories and good Mexican food with great freeper friends. What else would someone want to be doing on a Sunday afternoon in Texas?

I hope I got everyone. My brain is tired right now. lol.
I love the Texas freepers and it was so great to meet some of you for the first time and to see the rest of you again.
Texas freepers are the best.
To all freepers...If you've never been to a freepmeet, just do it. Meeting online friends in person is such a great experience.
I knew I didn't have everyone. Thanks Gracey.
