As a preschooler in Sunbeams my favorite Bible verse was Psalm 122:1 – I was glad when they said unto me. Let us go into the house of the Lord. Honestly, this verse is one of my earliest memories. I loved and still love being in the house of the Lord. Sure this verse is […]
Benedict’s is a breakfast, brunch, lunch restaurant that has made several lists as a recommended breakfast eatery in Dallas. We thought we should check it out. Bikers’ hogs were parked outside the front door. We took that as a good sign. Benedict’s is located in Addison on Betline Road at Inwood. Inside, the decor was […]
I call Marsha Christmas my best cheerleader. She faithfully comments on the Lanabird blogs, and she often recommends the blogs to her friends. I am so thankful. I got an email from Marsha Christmas: Don’t know if you like Vietnamese food, Lana, but our son took us to the Pho Crimson in Uptown last week. […]
Introducing a family favorite: Siciliano’s A Taste of Italy. For over 25 years we have been dining at A Taste of Italy. Our family has celebrated many birthdays at this restaurant, and that is where Mikel chose to go for her birthday dinner. Over thirty years ago, A Taste of Italy was in a strip […]

It is like the Odd Couple – Felix and Oscar – when two different businesses share the same building. Just like the movie – it makes me laugh. While in Austin I noticed an Allergy Clinic that shared space with a Subway restaurant – strange but true. The Austin Antique Mall is in the same […]
Franklin Barbecue in Austin, Texas was named by Texas Monthly as the “Best Barbecue in Texas – 2013.” Sweet Mother of Pearl – I think I understand why Franklin won “Best” – Moist, full of flavor, tender beyond belief. I didn’t think barbecue could be better than Louie Mueller’s, but I have to admit – […]
Backstory: Probably two or more years ago, Ever-Lovin’ and I stopped in Taylor, Texas to eat at the world famous Louie Mueller’s Barbecue. We had read glowing reports about Mueller’s “Best in Texas” barbecue, and we wanted to try it. Be still my heart. It was the best barbecue I had ever put in my […]

At this bistro, you can experience a little bit of France. Dear friend Betty had never dined at Bonnie Ruth’s, but a coupon for 50% off a […]
