Magnolia Market
On my home from Dallas, I decided to stop in Waco and visit the Magnolia Market, the retail shop from the Fixer Upper people on HGTV. I arrived at 9:20 a.m. and parked in their (free) parking lot. It’s a big parking lot, but it was almost full when I left just after 10:00 a.m. If you decide to visit, go early or be prepared to pay for parking. Several businesses around them charge a fee to park. Even at 9:20 a.m. on a weekday, it was very busy in the store. I didn’t photograph anything inside, as I was trying to check out all the doo-dads on the shelves. There are several food trucks along the rim of the courtyard. Some open early for those wanting coffee and such.
This green space is a big area for the kiddos, with some toys always available from a nearby bin.
You can relax in the striped bean bag chairs while your kids run amok.

A Muggle’s Troubles
Jeremy was going through a Harry Potter phase, taking up residence in the closet.
Sandra peeked inside. “Harry was never a slob. You couldn’t find anything in here, Jeremy, much less an invitation to Hogwarts. Clean it up or I will tell every single owl that comes by that you are not fit to be a wizard.”
Just like magic, Jeremy started straightening things up.
Retreating to the living room, Sandra looked at the clutter. On a whim she whispered, “Accio earring!” Nothing moved, no earring appeared. Sandra sighed. Things sure would be easier if I weren’t such a muggle.

Tiny House Doors
Hubby and I wandered around a lot with three Tiny Houses on it. They weren’t open for viewing at the time, so all we got to see was the outside. They were all about 399 square feet of living space.
Oops, a reflection of hubby in this one.
Thursday is for Doors over at Norm 2.0.
Butterfly in November
Our warm weather lasted into November and there were still butterflies hanging around.
