Well, it’s over. I can’t believe it went by so quickly! This past weekend, four generations of family females gathered for our sixth annual Hoegarden weekend. As usual, it was three fabulous days of food, fun, mani/pedis, board games, shopping and fruity umbrella cocktails. Last year, we had snow and freezing temps as a freak storm crashed the party. This year, it was gorgeous with temps in the low 80’s, a good stiff breeze and beautiful, sunny skies. What a difference a year makes. As is our custom, we spent Saturday shopping. This year, we descended on downtown McKinney, Texas with 12 family members in a 3-car caravan. Our group included our mother, myself and my four sisters, three granddaughters and one young grandson (he was a good sport) and two toddler great-grandaughters. Our mom spawned a large brood, and we took McKinney by storm. It was a blast. Here’s a peek. Click on any photo to enlarge.
Plum Creek Primatives is loaded with antiques, gifts and unique treasures.
Friendliest shop was the Loco Cowpoke; favorite browsing goes to the antique shops.
Happiness is Quilting - it's a great fabric store, and I love this cute owl purse!
Favorite purchase: the antique typesetting drawer I hung in my sewing room
McKinney's downtown square & the family (or most of us, anyway)
