ShadyGreenThumb's blog: Bucee is my Friend

Posted on Aug 22, 2012 10:33 PM

<p>If you've ever driven in the great state of Texas then you are familiar with Bucee's. Even if you never stopped in one of these giantic convenience stores, you at least know about them by their annoying billboards every mile or so for 10 miles until you get there. By the time you get near you are wondering, "What are Beaver Nuggets? and  "What's so great about fudge and beef jerky?" "And yes, btw I DO need to pee, thank you very much." Bucee's boasts to having the cleanest rest rooms---and they DO!</p>
<p>I avoided Bucee's for a long time and I don't know why?  On vacation we stopped just for funzies. That's all it took. I am a Bucees Addict. I loooove their fudge and Beaver Nuggets snacks are like crack. I always buy at least 2 bags. DH loves their beef jerky and freshly made sandwiches. Personally, I think he just likes to play with the ordering touch screen. I like Candied Japaleno dip and they have the best tuna.</p>
<p>Why am I telling this and what does this have to do with gardening, you ask?  Well, every Bucee's Fan also  has Bucee's paraphanalia and this family is no different. Our home has Bucee sleep shorts, Bucee T shirts, Bucee key chains, Bucee's bumper stickers, Bucee travel cups I could go on and on, all with that famous beaver head. Our Bucees T shirt says, "My over bite is sexy"  and "I'm a different kind of beaver".  My big giagantic 54 ounce Bucee's travel cup I use exclusively for the beach AND for when I am working in the garden.  I put some ice in it water, Gatorade or sometimes a whole lot of wine, and the insulated cup lasts me nearly all day on my Wednesday Yard Days.  Some Wednesdays me and Bucee don't get a lot done especially when I pour wine into the cup . LOL  And everytime I pick it up, it reminds me of our road trips to the Texas Coast, the beach, our other getaways, and smiles. As if I don't get enough smiles from my garden already?</p>
