Caitlyn and Dale’s wedding in Gruene, Texas was a destination wedding for us. Ever-Lovin’ had visited Gruene (pronounced Green) many years ago, and he thought I would like it. We were surprised to find it hard to find a parking space on this Friday afternoon. We had to drive around several parking lots before we […]
I saw it coming and was truly amazed that downtown Plano, Texas would be getting a Lockhart Smoke House. Yes, the same Lockhart Smoke House that is in the Bishop Arts District of Oak Cliff. The same Lockhart Smokehouse that was in Texas Monthly’s list of the 5o Best BBQ Joints in the World. When […]
One could not help but hope to see bluebonnets on our trip to Gruene, Texas. After all – it is springtime in the Lone Star State, and we would be driving through Central Texas. We were not disappointed. Be still my heart! Along the highways of our beloved state, bluebonnets’ indigo color paint the landscape. […]
Be still my heart. The decorations for Caitlyn and Dale’s wedding were made in Pinterest heaven. There were so many charming details. One can only imagine the countless hours Caitlyn and friends worked to create such a beautiful event. The wedding was held in Oma Gruene’s Secret Garden in Gruene, Texas. It is a courtyard […]

It was a perfect spring day, and the setting in the courtyard of Oma Gruene’s Secret Garden was fantastic. The […]
Number Two Son’s sweet wife Jenny told us about Fuel City Tacos sometime ago. It seems that regularly someone from the hospital will make a “taco run” to Fuel City for their famous tacos, and she proclaimed them, “very good.” More than once we missed the exit to get to this fueling station/taco stand. Oh, […]
This is another recommendation from MarshaChristmas. I do love knowing about her comings and goings. She is always having so much fun. Around the corner from the Kolache Station Bakery is another little bakery/restaurant called Sugar and Spice Bakery. (One can’t help but finish the phrase – “and everything nice”. It is nice. (I know […]
For years and years I have heard about Round Table. Women of First Baptist Church Richardson gather for prayer, lunch, and a program. Friends mentioned to me that a lady that grew up at Buckner Orphan’s Home was going to speak, and I might like to hear her since Buckner is dear to my heart. […]
Number One Son suggested a new restaurant to try called Pollo Tropical. Since it was a new restaurant, it had been getting reviews in the press. Be still my heart! The cool sea breeze blue walls with white trim certainly reminded me of the tropics. How wonderful to drive up to something so pretty. I […]
Gonzales, Texas is a historic town on the Independence Trail. Not only did it have the Jail Museum and the Gonzales Food Market, it also had beautiful homes and an interesting museum. Be still my heart! Isn’t this the most gorgeous courthouse! The red brick with white limestone trim was built in 1896. It is […]
