Located between Houston and Corpus Christi is the town of Victoria. It is referred to as “The Crossroads” because it is less than a two hour drive from Houston, Corpus Christi, Austin, and San Antonio. It is thirty miles inland from the Gulf of Mexico, and is considered the perfect base camp for the Coastal […]
What to do in College Station? The brochure suggested a visit to the Sam Houston Sanders Corp of Cadets Center – sounded interesting. The Corp of Cadets Corp has been a sense of pride for Texas A&M University, and we have long admired Texas A&M and their traditions. A look see was in order. Inside […]
A couple of years ago the Senior Adults of First Baptist Church Richardson took a tour of the painted churches around Schulenburg, Texas. We didn’t get to go. Friends returned raving about how beautiful the churches were. I wanted to go. It was on my “Want to Do List”. On our Texas tour, Ever-Lovin’ and […]
Blue Bell Ice Cream’s motto – “We eat all we can and sell the rest.” That is the truth. If you work for Blue Bell Creameries, you can eat as much ice cream as you wish while you are on the job. What a perk! While on our Texas tour, we stopped to visit the […]

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 […]
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 […]
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. […]
Today Mrs. Ralph (My dear friend who channels Ralph Lauren in her decorating style.) and I were doing one of the things that we most enjoy doing – shopping thrift stores (Also known as “Badwill Hunting.”) Of course, we do not “need” anything, but the thrill of the hunt, and the bargains found made for […]
