Number One Son forwarded an email to me from The Observer.  The link was to an article by Katharine Shilcutt  listing “30 Essential Texas Restaurants to Visit Before You Die“.  A Bucket List of eating establishments in our Lone Star State.  Ever-Lovin’ and I looked at the list and discovered we had visited several of the […]

Paris Coffee Shop – Fort Worth, Texas

This post is in honor of my friend Betty.  She loves the Paris Coffee Shop in Fort Worth.  Specifically she thinks they make “the best” chocolate meringue pie she has ever eaten. To her, their chocolate pie is a reason to plan a trip to Fort Worth. Paris Coffee Shop is the type of restaurant […]

Getting to go to Fort Worth is exciting.  Getting to go to Forth Worth and visit with my dear friend Jorene is fantastic.  We talk and talk and never tire of talking. On this day, we shopped Old Home Supply House – “Fort Worth’s Restoration Headquarters”.  Sweet Mother of Pearl.  I love this place.  Old Home […]

Fish Shack

Posted on: Jan 14, 2013        In: Out and About        With: No comments
A seaside style fish shack near downtown Plano.  Hard to imagine, but there it is on 15th Street just east of Central Expressway (75), and it is appropriately called Fish Shack. The little blue shack – which I am sure was once a fast food establishment – serves good seafood at reasonable prices. Dear friends […]

First Monday in Canton

I know you know that First Monday Trades Days in Canton are not on Monday.  This giant flea market is held the weekend before the first Monday of each month.  You can go as early as midday on Thursday.  My friend Nancy from Brentfield wanted to go to Canton last weekend.  Since she teaches, she […]

House Cafe

House Cafe is one of my favorite places of all time to eat breakfast.  I realized something the other morning – I haven’t blogged about House Cafe.  I felt badly.  How could I neglect House Cafe?   Well, I intend to change that right now.  House Cafe deserves due recognition.   This is not a […]

In case you haven’t heard, Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in Fort Worth in conjunction with the Institute of Archaeology at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem are sponsoring an exhibit called Dead Sea Scrolls & The Bible: Ancient Artifacts, Timeless Treasures.  Be Still My Heart!  This was interesting, and I am glad I got to see […]

Perot Museum of Nature and Science

What a day!  We played in the Klyde Warren Park, ate at the gourmet food trucks, and then spent an afternoon at the new Perot Museum of Nature and Science. Bottom line – GO!  Sweet Mother of Pearl.  It is beyond wonderful. Do not feel obligated to take a child with you.  All ages can […]

Food Trucks at Klyde Warren Park

Posted on: Jan 5, 2013        In: Out and About        With: No comments
I am fascinated by food trucks.  No longer are they “roach coaches”, but many of these trucks serve gourmet food for the people on the street to enjoy.  Perhaps Austin is the “Food Truck Capital” of Texas, but Dallas is certainly joining the trend. On this day, five gourmet food trucks were parked near the […]

Klyde Warren Park

Dallas – Big D – Little A – Double L – A – S.  What wonderful changes are happening in our fair city.  Ever-Lovin’ says that today we accomplished a trifecta.  We visited Klyde Warren Park, had lunch from the food trucks, and visited the Perot Museum of Nature and Science.  All in one day! […]
