Lily's Cookies (San Antonio, Tx)

Super cute bakery in SA

I was in SA for an appointment and took a drive down McCollough for kicks on the way to Highway 281 and I was rewarded for my decision! I saw this adorable bakery and had to go around the block to get a closer look. I'm so glad I did!

Lily's Cookies

This adorable bakery is gorgeous - just the sort of place I picture I would love to work if only I was a great baker. Which I'm not. So good thing people like these folks are around for us. It's lovely inside and the young lady helping me was really nice. I also picked up a couple of cookies and my friends said they tasted great. I'm on a diet or else I would have totally done the taste test myself. Check them out on the web as well -

Fallon, Nevada

Lovely terrain

Today I wanted to post something about the trips I took out to Fallon a while ago because my coworkers out there have been on my mind. We have a plant out there (I work in the steel industry) but soon our company is going to sell of parts of our company, including the location out in Fallon. That makes me so sad because I just loved the people I met there. They welcomed me and another coworker and we felt right at home.

We loved the scenery as we made our way from Reno to Fallon. That's about an hour to two hours, depending on the number of times you stop to take pictures of the awesome landcape. I thought it looked really neat out there in the dessert! Roads just go on forever with no end in sight. And you see all this brown and then all of a sudden, a lovely oasis of green with a rippling river running through the middle. I loved it. I never expected to enjoy it so much but that part of Nevada was a jewel. And so are the people there.

It stretched forever and ever
