A blog in three parts – a tri-blog if you wish. THE HOUSE: Beautiful. Be still my heart. Just walking up to the home made my heart begin to go pitty-pat. Azaleas in bloom, mature trees, and topiary shrubs greeted us as we visited 6325 Preston Parkway. “This classic Tudor home was built in 1936 […]
Learned something today. I am sure you knew this, but I did not. Did you know that pavement can be rehabilitated? Yes, roads go to into rehab. When I saw this phrase “Pavement Rehabilitation” I thought it odd, strange, unusual, and frankly a little bit funny. In my feeble mind, roads can be repaired, repaved, […]
I liked this home. Perhaps it was because it was filled with antiques that I would buy if …. Pat told me that the speaker at the luncheon mentioned that this home is a good example of updating that has “maintained its integrity by keeping all of the original hardware and replicating architectural details during […]
While out and about with fantastic friend Pat, guess what I learned. Fantastic friend Pat had never – ever – ever enjoyed going to Highland Park Pharmacy. The Highland Park Pharmacy that was established in 1912, and has served breakfast, lunch and most importantly soda fountain treats to countless generations of Dallasites. I could not […]
If you are a lover of English antiques and collectables, it would be worth your time and effort to go to Waxahachie on Tuesday April 9, 2013. Judy B recently went on a buying trip to England and brought back a container of wonderful antiques. I got to preview the sale, and want to share […]

Finally a dry, warm, sunny day. Ever-Lovin’ and I wanted to see Dallas Blooms while there were still blooms to be seen. Let it be known. The gardens are gorgeous, and there is plenty to see. (The Arboretum is always beautiful – in any season.) See what greeted us even before we entered the gardens. […]
This blog is a little different. I have good news and bad news to share. Do you want the good news or the bad news first? I will share the bad news first. – I always like to get bad news out of the way. The “Don’t You Just Love a Bargain,” store is closing. […]
The one thing Hot Rod wanted to do during spring break was to go back to the Perot Museum of Nature and Science. So that is what we did. After the previous visit, Hot Rod mentioned that his favorite exhibits were in the technology hall (Texas Instruments Engineering and Invention Hall). At the Perot Museum, […]
Recently it dawned on me. I have been reviewing hamburger “joints” in Dallas, and I have forgotten to tell you about one of my favorite diners that is right here in Richardson, Texas. My neighborhood. What a shame. Del’s Charcoal Burgers has been in Richardson for as long as I can remember, and we have […]
