During our four days in London before joining a tour, we tried to visit as many of the “must sees” as possible. Westminster Abbey was in the top five on that list. First impression – In America, we have no concept of old. In England, a building built in the 1700’s is considered new. Our […]
The Royal Mews was directly across from our hotel, The Rubens at the Palace (I just like to write that). The Royal Mews furnishes transportation for The Queen and members of The Royal Family. Sweet Mother of Pearl. It was unbelievable. I loved seeing the Royal Coaches. The working stable is one of the finest […]
Be still my heart. We went to England, and it was, beautiful, astounding, quaint, wonderful, educational, and so very much more. I did miss you – really. I wanted to be sharing what I was experiencing. I know many of you have been there and done that, but for me it was an amazing journey. […]
First, I noticed the landscaping surrounding the meter at a home at the end of my alley. How special for someone to beautify the alley. While I was taking this picture, a friendly young man came out. I told him how much I liked his alley garden, and I would like to blog about […]
I tell you. Life is good. Number Two Son’s precious wife Jenny knew of a seafood place called The Boiling Crab that Lanabird needed to know about. She just knew I would love it, and I did. You have heard the term “hole-in-the-wall”? I do believe The Boiling Crab would qualify. It is located in […]
The Dream Cafe – love the name. The Mrs. knew about The Dream Cafe in Addison, so one morning The Buds met at The Dream Cafe for breakfast. I was impressed. I told Ever-Lovin’ about it, and … he wanted to go. So go we did. . Welcome! The website mentions that there is […]
Carolyn invited Minetta and me to her favorite cafe for lobster rolls – Sea Breeze Fish Market and Grill. It is located in the same shopping center as Weir’s Furniture on Preston Road in Plano. (Near Spring Creek) Now, Carolyn once lived in New Hampshire, and she knows and loves sea food. When she read […]
We went to Talouse Cafe and Bar on our way home from tip-toeing through the bluebonnets in Ennis. We stopped on Knox Street to shop a bit, and it was supper time. (Okay, dinner time since we went to a French restaurant.) I remembered that The Mrs. had mentioned Toulouse was a good restaurant, and […]
Cafe 43 (In case you missed it. President George W. Bush was the 43rd President of the United States of America.) is the new restaurant at the George W. Bush Presidential Center. There is an outside entrance to Cafe 43, and it is open to the public for lunch (11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.) Monday […]
As they say, I was “choppin’ at the bit” to go to the new George W. Bush Presidential Library and Museum. All the who’s who’s had come and gone. Now it was our turn. The day did not begin well. After we left the house, I realized my pants were blue and my shirt was […]
