And Poof!, Now It’s Gone . . .
or The Wait Is Over.
Catching up on last night:
We got to the Alvin Opry about 6:15pm, luckily just ahead of the big crowd, so we only had to wait in line a few minutes to get our included jumbo BBQ sandwich, chips, and drink, as well as a dessert we bought extra.
The sandwich was really good, as well as the homemade dessert.
And by the time we were finished with our meal, the BBQ line was wrapping around the dance floor.
Turns out that the line was so long that by the time everyone was served and seated, it was finally about 7:15 before the show started.
And this was the reason for the slowdown.
The largest crowd we’ve ever seen here.
And as usual, Shalane Colston, the Event Coordinator, and long-time friend, always goes all out on the table decorations.
A great show, with both old and new talent.
And because it started late, it was after 11:30 when we got home.
And now for today:
Leaving the rig about 12:30, we had planned to check out the Three Acre Food Park out on FM 1764 where they were having a Market Fair with about 30 vendors as well as a number of food trucks for lunch. BUT . . .
There’s always a BUT.
We decided to double-check to see if the new Pho Barr down in our area had opened by any chance.
It was suppose to open last Saturday, but ended up having to wait for their final inspection. And they weren’t open yesterday afternoon either.
BUT . . . there’s that word again.
They were open this afternoon, and so that’s where we had lunch, of course.
Just as good as the one up in Webster, and very nicely remodeled.
We used to eat here a lot when it was Pho20. But it didn’t survive the WuFlu shutdowns.
So it’s nice to have a good Pho place in our area again.
So The Wait Is Over.
Finishing it up it was right down the road for a few things from the nearby HEB.
And Poof!, Now It’s Gone.
i mentioned a few days about the faux Buc-ee’s that appeared out in Marathon, TX in the Big Bend area.
I also found out that a while back, there was a Target for a while in this same location.
Who knows what will be next?
Tomorrow we’re heading to the Katy area to meet up for lunch with Brandi, Lowell, and Landon at their favorite place, Pho Barr, of course. And yes, that means we’ll be having Pho Barr two days in a row.
What’s your point?
Thought For The Day:
The best revenge is to just happily move on and let Karma do the rest.
