Buc-ee's!

In the little town of Luling, Texas - home of the Watermelon Thump -

is the greatest of all convenience stores: Buc-ee's.

We were enthralled with the store for hours! There's good shopping in there! Prints, clothes,

weathervanes,

other outdoor stuff - feed 'n seed and such,

housewares - including a Texas-shaped waffle maker, Montana Silversmith jewelry, hats, flops, and food, food, food! I couldn't capture it all in photos - lots of Buc-ee's branded goodies - syrup, preserves, jerky, trail mix (about a dozen kinds!), popcorn. Also a bakery loaded with kolaches, scones, cookies, danishes. Plus salsas, bread mixes, barbeque sauce. Loads. Really.

We met the buyer who was spectacularly nice and helpful.

We loved Buc-ee's!
