The George Bush Presidential Library and Museum on the campus of Texas A & M University was high on my “Want to Do” list. How interesting it is to view a slice of history through the eyes of a key player. One of our first thoughts was that parking was free, and there was not […]
Okay, I tried to figure this out. From what I read, there are two towns – Bryan and College Station. They were not called sister cities, but rather the articles I read refer to them as adjoined. If you ask me, that is as clear as mud, and my instincts tell me there is more […]
Emergency preparedness. I had heard the term. I had heard of people stockpiling food. I had heard of survivalists, but…. Honestly! I I tend not to want to be an alarmist. You know – The gloom and doom. Focusing on what might happen. Still – there is a point where it is probably prudent to […]
Corn Dip – I remember it well. It was an holiday open house at an antique mall on Lovers’ Lane. One of the dealers was serving corn dip. Sweet Mother of Pearl. I think we all embarrassed ourselves standing around grazing on the Fritos and Corn Dip. I will never forget it. She told us […]
I mentioned before how excited I was to get to host the March 6th ADK meeting. March 6th commemorates the date of the fall of the Alamo. I have gathered Alamo collectibles over the years, and I had always wanted to host a Remember the Alamo party. Well, a meeting is not necessarily a party, […]
Food memories can just make my day. I remember the first time I tasted Mini Pecan Pies. To say that they made a lasting impression is an understatement. It was a gathering at Marie Stobaugh’s home. I thought the little tarts she made that were filled with pecan pie filling were about the best thing […]
Going to new restaurants is fun. It is exciting to try something new that maybe you my dear readers do not know about. I love suggestions of places we should try. BUT … Sometimes I forget to sing the praise of our tried and true restaurants. The restaurants we continue going back to time and […]
If you are not a Native Texan, you probably do not understand the significance of the Alamo. The courage and bravery of the defenders of Texas Independence resounded far and wide. “Victory or Death”, were the words of Col Travis, and all but one of the Texas soldiers agreed. On March 6, 1836, the Battle […]
On a weekday afternoon, Ever-Lovin’ and I had been shopping, and found ourselves at the Firewheel Town Center in Garland. We were hungry (it was almost 2:00 pm). As always, we wanted to try someplace different – Something with blog potential. (You, dear readers, are always on my mind.) We spied Fish City Grill. Okay. […]
Many moons ago when there was a Main Street Antique Mall in downtown (if there is such a thing) Richardson, Nedra ran the tearoom. With every meal she served Crescent Tidbits. Tiny delicious puffs of bread. Often I would wonder what happened to that recipe. I asked friends that had also been in that mall […]
