Shopping at thrift stores and consignment shops could be considered one of my hobbies. The hunt is entertainment, and the fact that quality merchandise can be found for bargain prices makes it even better. Susan is a woman after my own heart. At one time she was the owner of an antique store, and […]
I am fascinated with gates and doors. Just imagine all that has transpired behind these “closed doors”. (As Charlie Rich would say.) What splendor – the gates to Buckingham Palace. These gates are so massive and beautiful. Then there were these gates to the Palace Gardens. Be still my heart. How wonderful! Monogramed locks. They […]
I have friends that do the right thing. They eat healthy food and exercise. Dear friend Jorene is one of those people. She cares about me and desires that I exercise. In a recent conversation she begged me to exercise because of the overall health benefits. Okay, she made an impression. I have now walked […]
Haystack – Burgers and Barley Number One Son was excited that he had been someplace we had not gone. He thought I should go. Then my number one cheerleader Marsha asked if I had visited Haystack. If I hadn’t gone, she thought I should. Two recommendations for a new burger joint in my neighborhood. We […]

Pecan Lodge cooks up some of the best barbecue in Texas in the WORLD – Pecan Lodge is wildly acknowledged as serving the best barbecue in North Texas. That is what I heard and read. Texas Monthly lists Pecan Lodge as one of the top 4 barbecue joints in Texas in their ratings of the state’s […]
Miss Jane has been been talking about going to a small farmer’s market in Richardson on Saturdays. Now, I had visited this market many years ago, and it was pathetic – there were maybe three or four vendors. Well, things have changed. The market has grown. Although it is still small, there are some quality […]
Going to a farmer’s market is good. Real good! In fact, it is one of my favorite things to do in the entire world. It is true! Seeing all the fruits and vegetables piled high in the stalls takes my breath away. And then I buy too much because I want to take advantage of […]
Had heard about the Stephenville Museum. Aunt Lois would sell lye soap during their Pioneer Days each year. BUT I had never actually been to the museum. It was a treat. The old log cabins are most interesting, and we enjoyed our visit. If you like old historical places, this is a good place to […]
