I recently returned from a southerly jaunt to Texas and besides an excellent trip, I came away with a few visual chuckles to share.

In response to dear Sheila’s comment on a recent post, here is a post on Texas with a few tidbits on food in Texas included 🙂 Besides a landmark grocery adventure, I had the pleasure of partaking in bbq, brunches, Blue Bell ice cream, homemade cajun gumbo, pulled pork sandwiches, various cheese and chicken-filled items, and Dublin (the Texas one) Dr. Pepper.

I left my camera at home, but here are a few shots taken via my mobile camera.
