and so the tale begins...

a farewell to our area

our original move was scheduled for the week after school let out for the summer.  sadly, due to appliance delivery issues, we've spent the month of june still living in two places.

since we still sleep at the apartment, we do our errands and chores around the apartment.  the first, a minor, but none-the-less sad change was the closing of the auto shop we had billy's car inspected in last year.  in the words of radar "i was only there once, but i really liked it".  not too big of a deal, but these things add up.

one day billy came home after making a trip to one of their project sites, and informed me that they had closed cici's!  i was shocked. 

when we first moved to houston and visited this particular location for the first time, i asked whether or not they served chocolate pizza.  his answer was yes, they were one of only two left in houston that served it!  (i was so excited since the ones in lubbock & waxahachie stopped serving it years ago). = ) 

billy and i enjoyed cici's particularly, because they are very child friendly, and so it didn't matter if alice started making a little bit of noise.  we would go at 11am, 2pm, 7pm, it didn't matter they were always busy!  so naturally i was very sad when he told me this.

i feel someone relieved knowing that the cici's (very close to our house) still serves the chocolate pizza.  now, of course i believed billy, but it didn't add up, and seeing is believing.  so the next time we drove by, sure enough the sign was gone = (

the third and final closing that has really encouraged me to make this post is one of my 'mini vacation spots,' komart.  komart was an asian grocery store we would visit once every 2-3 months to stock up on billy's spicy mustard, my potstickers, and various other interesting souviners we would find.

since we don't frequent the store we had no idea that they were closing for buisness, until one day we drove by on the interstate, and the building was half demolished


so i end this post by saying adios auto repair, au revoir cicis, and sayonara komart.
