MarshaChristmas asked if I had been to Lekka, a restaurant on Preston Road (just north of Summerside) in Dallas, Texas. She thought Lanabird would enjoy this restaurant. I had not even heard of Lekka, so I put Lekka on my “Want To Do” list, but… time passed, and I did not go. Recently MarshChristmas again asked me […]
The other day I tasted one of Ever-Lovin’s store bought cookies, and I could not believe how horrible it was. I asked him why he would eat such a thing. He said he had to have something to snack on. I felt about two inches tall. I had neglected my man. I promised I would […]
A group of special friends fondly known as the Jefferson’s have celebrated birthdays and holidays together for many many years. In November we have two birthdays to celebrate – Frances and Friend BB. What a treat to have a reason to celebrate with these two “Golden Girls”. When thinking about the decorations, I wanted the decor […]
I am not crafty. It is the truth. I will try almost any recipe, but trying to paint, scrapbook, make a bow, or do almost any other craft project can put me in a dither. While sitting in a craft class, I have been known to hyperventilate, break out in a sweat, feel light headed, and wish […]
It is Veteran’s Day, and for those that have served and those who are serving, I share these pictures. While cleaning out the garage a few weeks ago, I found this picture of my beloved Uncle Jimmy. He was my father’s baby brother. The date on the back of the photo reads “Christmas 1944”. I was […]

This study Bible provides daily Bible readings for an entire year. […]
At the intersection of Greenville Avenue and Spring Valley Road in Richardson is an area called Brick Row. Nearby is the Dart Rail station. For sometime, we had noticed Sababa and wondered about the new restaurant in the neighborhood. Ever-Lovin’ and I had put Sababa on our “Want to Do” list. Then, Miss Jane and […]
Southern traditions run deep in Tyler, Texas. During the Texas Rose Festival, we had enjoyed socializing with the Rose Queen, the Duchess, and their entire court. The elaborate costumes and decorations were amazing, but after the Queen’s Tea, we thought it might be a good change of pace to sample some of the best barbecue […]
It took awhile, but we finally got to the Arboretum with Hot Rod. Of course there were pictures taken, and I want to share. When we were at the Dallas Arboretum with Pretty Baby, the mums were not in bloom. On this visit, they were gorgeous. Look at the azaleas. They were in full bloom also. The pumpkins […]
Anna wrote, “I know you ike Blue Bell, but have you tried Talenti gelato? It is available from Target, Albertson’s, and Kroger, and probably many other stores, but WalMart and Brookshire’s are down here and no Talenti Gelato….of any flavor. Our salesman in Arlington says that hands down, the best flavor is Sea Salt Caramel. Just […]
