Friday - French Texas

It is finally Friday.  I am so excited to have some time off from work.  I hope to be spending time with my sisters, do a little shopping and some dining out.   Living in central Texas puts me right in the middle of the fun.  There are so many boutiques and restaurants, and my theme this weekend will hopefully be "French".   I love my Spanish-Western life but I also enjoy getting out of my routine.
