On the northeast corner of Preston Road and Forest Lane is Woodlands American Grill. They make excellent coffee. Now I am NOT an expert on coffee. I will go to coffee houses, but they are not on my regular radar. Since the first time I dined at Woodlands, I have wanted to return to drink […]
If you are like we were, and have never been to New York City, I have a few more travel tips to share. We booked an all day Gray Line Tour that went past many of the major landmarks in New York City. I am somewhat conflicted about this tour (I would probably give it […]
Tuesday, December 31st is the last day to see the angels that adorn the DeGolyer Mansion at the Dallas Arboretum. If you want to see this exhibit, this is your last day to go. Sorry for the short notice – I just visited the show today. The magnificent Neapolitan Baroque Angels on the Blue Spruce […]
Worth a trip to New York City – I kid you not. Ferrara is “America’s oldest Pasticeria and Cafe”. It is celebrating its 120th anniversary. This bakery was established in 1892, and it is located in its original location. It is called, “Heaven in the heart of New York’s Little Italy”. (From their brochure.) Ever-Lovin’ […]

Oh my! Time is so short, and there is so much to share. How about a two in one blog for today – Let’s tour the homes of my fantastic friends – The Queen of Everything and Mrs. Ralph. The Queen of Everything (She can do any and everything. Really!) kept saying she hadn’t decorated […]
On the north end of Manhattan is Fort Tryon Park. Fort Tryon Park is home to The Cloisters – a museum that is like no other museum I have ever seen. The Cloisters is a branch of The Metropolitan Museum of Art, and it is devoted to the art and architecture of Medieval Europe. It […]
Flight Canceled. Yes, our flight from New York City to Dallas, Texas was canceled. Not because of the weather in New York City, but because Dallas, Texas was experiencing a deep freeze. Not only was the flight canceled, but we were then told we could not get a flight out until Wednesday – three days […]
Brooklyn, New York has dazzling displays of Christmas lights that literally cover entire yards. But…. Let it be known that the lights in Highland Park are well worth seeing.
