It is exciting when new restaurants open in the burbs. For sometime now, we have been watching work on a new burger joint at II Creeks Plaza in Richardson (2701 Custer Parkway, 75080). Shady’s Burger Joint opened in April, and we were eager to give it a try. The restaurant had been opened only a […]
I was scooped. The Buckner Gang went to 20 Feet Seafood Joint, and loved it. “You must blog about this restaurant!,” said one and all. I began preparing. The pictures had been transferred from the camera into a folder on the desktop. Ideas were in my head. The Dallas Morning News stole my […]
Dear sweet friends David and Sheila invited us to lunch. Love lunch invitations. Thank you very much. Then they suggested we do lunch in Denton, Texas. Fantastic. I love road trips, and the short drive to Denton up I 35 is easy. There were three things we wanted to do on this pretty spring day […]

Backstory: Ann and Bob recently slightly downsized and moved back into town. They had lived in the “north forty” – Lavon, Texas – over thirty minutes one way from Richardson. Living in Lavon was a challenge for these two active involved people. Everyday was like a big logic problem. Appointments had to be scheduled […]
Okay, I admit it. I thought you had to go to Fredericksburg or at least the Hill Country to see bluebonnets. Some years we have been lucky. We have been “in the neighborhood” and enjoyed seeing the wildflowers. Other years, we have trouble making the trip. Let it be known. I love seeing bluebonnets […]
My friend The Mrs. called one day and said, “Have I got the perfect thing for you”. Well maybe she didn’t actually say those exact words, but it was something like that because she had heard about a DallasBIG contest sponsored by The Dallas Convention and Visitors Bureau.
