Luke's Diner and Fall Mums

I'm glad y'all liked the pics of the homecoming mums! It was neat to let y'all see what Homecoming looks like in Texas. :) 

In other news, this is the text exchange that went on between my older son and me the other day...

He got to campus that morning and discovered they had transformed the campus coffee shop into a Luke's Diner from GG!!!! I was (obviously) so excited! 

Netflix sponsored the event. Overnight, they paid to transform about 200 coffee shops all over the U.S. into Luke's Diner for a day. They purchased flannel shirts and baseball caps for the employees to wear, just like Luke does on the show. :) They even had "no cell phones" signs and a Luke's Diner sign hung out front. The menu inside was a replica of the one on the show and they had life size cut outs of Luke! It was so neat! 

Netflix will be the only place you can see the new GG episodes on November 25th. They filmed 4 new episodes with all the original cast and I can't wait to binge watch all 4! If you don't have Netflix, you can always get a free 30 day trial to see them, then decide if you want to keep it or not. I bet you'll decide to keep it though. We love being able to stream movies and shows any time we want. 

You wouldn't believe how many people showed up to these Luke's Diner Pop-Up shops! 

Here's a short news video of the lines to get into one in Studio City...

They also gave out free coffee to the first 250 people in line. It was all held on October 5th, which is the 16th anniversary of the very first GG episode, October 5th, 2000. My son stood in line 25 minutes just to get me this cup (which I treasure)

This was printed on the cup, under the sleeve...

And here's a little pic I shared on IG...

"Pop Tarts and Luke's. Best breakfast ever." If you're a GG fan, you'll understand. ;)

On the garden front, I finally got my hands on some mums last weekend. Walmart had these 4 inch mums for $1!!!  They came in yellow, copper, white and purple. (Pardon the rainy pics. A quick rainstorm blew through this morning.) I'll take more pics once they're blooming and it's dry.

I was outside yesterday morning planting them and it was about 65 degrees and there were even leaves on the ground. It really felt like fall. 

See the leaves? Yep, closest to fall we get here in Texas. 

I also got out all my Fall decor. I'll be sharing snippets on Instagram @texasdecor and I'll share a full tour on the blog soon. 

Here's a sneak peek:

Y'all have a great day!
