Thank you Amy! While at Buckner the Mrs. called her foodie daughter Amy for dining suggestions. (We are always looking forward to our next meal.) Where could we eat in East Dallas after our shift of sorting shoes? Amy came up with a winner. I had heard about Good 2 Go Taco (The name […]
We lived in Dallas County many many years, and had never visited the Sixth Floor Museum – a museum that chronicles the life, the assassination and the legacy of President John F. Kennedy. Often we mentioned wanting to visit the museum, but perhaps we were a little hesitant to go to an infamous place – […]
I heart these safety rest areas. I learn something from each one I visit. Huntsville, Texas is in Walker County. Who and what do you think is featured here? Sam Houston. Yes. The Huntsville Prison. Yes. What else do you know about this area? Ever heard of “Minnie Fish” or Joshua Houston? As you walk […]
This is another recommendation from Excellent Cook Nancy. She knows everything. Amazing. Chicken Scratch is kin to the restaurant Smoke (click here to read the blog about Smoke). They have the same daddy – Tim Byers. This restaurant gives new meaning to the terms reuse, recycle, reduce. As we drove into the parking lot, […]
This is not by any means an exhaustive list of places to eat along I-45 between Dallas and Houston (I would like your recommendations), but Excellent Cook Nancy mentioned that Buc-ee’s, Woody’s, and Sam’s were noteworthy, so we checked them out. After all, Excellent Cook Nancy does have experience driving I-45 to Houston. There are […]

When searching for places to eat in Houston, we came across another recommendation from Guy Fieri of Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives on the Food Channel. Greek food appeals to us (We miss Opa’s.) and thought we would give Niko Niko’s a try. First indication that this is a popular diner/dive was the parking lot. We […]
1620 River Oaks Boulevard in Houston, Texas must be the home of American royalty. Be still my heart. I know I have lived a sheltered life, but I thought I had been in a couple of very very nice homes. Once I even got to go inside Mount Vernon, Ruth Hunt’s home on White Rock […]
Husband to Super Sister told me about the “mini-museum” roadside parks – the Safety Rest Areas. Since I first visited the rest station in Salado, (Click to read the first blog about Safety Rest Areas in Texas.) I have been looking forward to stopping and learning more about our grand and glorious state of Texas […]
