It is strange to drive up to an historic park in Canada and see an American flag flying. But that is what happen when we visited Old Fort Erie – one of the Forts in the Niagara Parks. In 1937 – 1939, Old Fort Erie was restored to the 1812-1814 period, and since The United States […]
Isabelly’s Chocolates and Sweets! Sounds like my kind of place. It is a little sweet shop that you may have missed because it is located in downtown Richardson (If there is such a thing.) at 200 E. Main (Beltline) at McKinney Street. (southeast corner) Sometime ago I noticed the Isabelly’s Chocolate and Sweets signs on […]
Friend Kim is hosting an 80th birthday party for her mother. Kim’s mother is amazing. She still plays tennis each week – in two tennis leagues no less. (And she looks good in the cute tennis outfits also.) Kim called, and we discussed her party. I had a couple of trays to loan her, and she […]
There is a new restaurant in the neighborhood. Miss Jane told us about it on Sunday. We are always excited when new restaurants come to our area of town, and we are especially pleased when we like the food. Taco Joint is the new taqueria in the Richardson Heights Shopping Center at Beltline and Central Expressway. […]
This was not my first association with the Allen Retired Educators. Last spring Friend BB and I were invited by our friends Carolyn and Minetta to join the group for the tour of Fort Worth. The Allen ladies are friendly and fun, so when we were invited to join them for a meeting, we agreed. What […]
Super Sister was the first person to tell be about cooking corn on the cob in the husk in the Microwave. Yes, that is correct. You do not have to shuck the corn before you cook it. You cook the fresh corn with the husk and silks intact. She raved about this, and recently I tried it. […]
Marge is such a special friend. Ask anyone who knows her, and they all will say that she is amazing. We shared a room while we taught at Wallace, and it is always a special treat to get together with her. She is a beautiful, classy lady, and I learned so much from her. It […]
Aunt Lois is celebrating her 102nd birthday. Yes, she was born in 1912. I can not even imagine the changes she has seen in her lifetime. Consider Downton Abbey, – not the English class system that changed – but the innovations and history that has happened in the last 102 years, and you can somewhat […]
There is a new restaurant in town, and we wanted to try it. Ever-Lovin’ and I made our way over to Campbell/Coit to dine at Manny’s Uptown Tex-Mex, but the line was LONG – 45 minute wait. (People in the Richardson/North Dallas area are so ready for new restaurants.) Maybe another day we decided. On […]
It has taken a while, but we finally have new floors in our den and dining room. It was a struggle. Nothing is ever easy. The story I am about to tell is the truth – the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. Super Sister called and said that big box lumberyard was having […]
