Best selling author, Jan Karon, has written a new book – Somewhere Safe With Somebody Good. It has been a while (Almost 10 years) since Father Tim, his wife Cynthia, and the citizens of Mitford, North Carolina have graced us with their presence. Each fall Highland Park United Methodist Church, the SMU Library, and the […]
For our Labor Day get together, we thought we would have steak. At out house, this is beyond unusual. Seldom do we buy steak for the whole gang. Oh, we buy chuck roast and ground meat, but not steak. On special occasions, Ever-Lovin’ and I enjoy a good steak at a steak house. This got me […]
Two recommendations gets our attention – even if the two recommendations are basically from the same source. Several moons ago Gary K. told us about a very inexpensive breakfast diner, BUT he couldn’t remember the name. We drove to the area, but there were two restaurants. We didn’t know which restaurant he was recommending, so […]
I have always thought that no Southern garden is complete without a bottle tree. Brightly colored bottles shimmering in the sunlight. I never thought much about bottle trees keeping spirits away until I read Because of Winn Dixie. Kate DiCamillo Newberry Award winning story of Opal and her orphaned dog Winn Dixie. It is a […]
It had been a long long time since I had visited one of my true loves – First Monday Trade Days in Canton, Texas. Usually August is NOT the month to visit the world famous, humongous flea market, but … it wasn’t a terribly hot day (for August), and we thought we would give it a try. Metal […]

When school begins, Baptists have “Promotion Sunday”. Maybe it has been like this since the beginning of time. (Ha – Ha) I do not know, but I do know that the children look forward to this “Promotion Sunday” just as much as they look forward to a new year at school. It is another sign […]
A new BBQ restaurant is in town – Ten 50 BBQ. For months we have watched as a site just north of Arapaho on Central Expressway (US 75) has been transformed into a BBQ restaurant. Finally it is open, and we went. Cute kid in the parking lot found us a good parking space. The entire […]
Disclaimer: I am not a gardner. Miss Jane and Super Sister are gardeners. I love pretty flowers and visiting beautiful gardens, but the best I can do in the yard is water the container plants, and deadhead the roses. Okay, my roses do have a happy spot in my back yard, but that has nothing […]
Meddlesome Moth – I had heard about it. The name intrigued me – Meddlesome Moth. I had seen the restaurant listed on suggested places to eat in Dallas, but I really did not know much about this Dallas’ Trinity Design District restaurant. When MarshaChristmas suggested lunch at the Meddlesome Moth I jumped at the opportunity. […]
