George Bush’s Favorite Restaurant
Posted by Caroline on Feb 6, 2010 in journey to marriage, The Backpack | 3 comments
I planned the night.
I told Clayton to wear his new red flannel shirt and I wore my cowboy boots. If only we had worn our overalls and acquired an extra 40 years, we would have fit in perfectly. We ventured to the Coffee Shop Cafe in McGregor, TX.
Just a few miles from his ranch in Crawford, George W. Bush is known to frequent this epitome of the South. Clayton’s conservatism and deep Southern values were charged as we ate fried catfish, okra, and mash potatoes. (Though, I didn’t bother reminding him that this is also the stomping ground of Jessica Simpson).
We lingered a while with our coffee and complimentary dessert. Oh, my friend is so fun. And doesn’t he look good in flannel? I say yes.
p.s. we came home and watched Modern Family. Have you seen it? Moral of the story: I think we could all learn from the overall-wearing, accent-having, fish-eating wisdom of the rural south.

Hey There
In a matter of days I'm going to marry my college sweetheart Clayton. I'll be the resident chaplain at a girls dormitory this year... which will add a few quirks to our first year of marriage. I've been adopted into Texas culture and I keep Sonic in business. I blog about faith and the struggles with faith. My first name is Jane; I'm Caroline.

To my single friends, I just posted a cute picture of Clayton and I on Facebook. 10 minutes later we were sitting in my driveway talking about how his stress was overwhelming me and how he was stressed because I was overwhelmed. Dumb. […]

I LIKE your trip to Donald’s place. (notice how I’m dropping all caps- as per your suggestion) and by the way THANK YOU!
Keep up the good work. You seem to manage all of it. Take care and get your rest.
LOVE DAD
Your dad encouraged us again to check out your website. Dinner duties out of the way so here I am hoping this works for me. Loved all the pics and your dining out with Clayton would be right up our alley. Glad you are getting some fun time in and you girls frockling in the snow sure looks out of place for Texas but we are glad to share the white stuff with you. Hello to Clayton. Have a great week. Love G Gear
I don’t drink coffee like I have in years gone past. Maybe I don’t need the stimulation to keep on going going like the Every Ready Bunny. I wake up every day and the mirror scares me to death or stimulates me to run fast thru the day…no coffee needed here. WELL…to be honest with you it might be best to discard the mirror and sit around with family and friends and enjoy the comfort of tasty hot coffee. Maybe the coffee might stimulate my hair folicals (did I spell that right?)
As Paul Harvey use to say…GOOD DAY!
