“I always like visiting better after Christmas,” said friend Marsha. After thinking about it, I do agree. The pressure is gone, and one can relax and enjoy being with ones you love. That is when Marsha invited me over for coffee, and I was beyond excited. I jumped at the invitation, and offered to […]
Christmas has come and gone, and I did not do half of what I wanted to do. Well, that may not be entirely the truth because I did some wonderful things this year. But… I always have such grand ideas – goodies to cook and bake, packages wrapped magnificently, and excursions to delight the soul. […]

Several days ago Richardson had its annual Christmas parade, and some of my nearest and dearest were in the parade. (I have wanted to post about this event earlier, but… better later than never.) Ever-Lovin’ and I […]
Trees I Tthink that I shall never see A poem lovely as a tree. A tree whose hungry mouth is prest Against the sweet earth’s flowing breast; A tree that looks at God all day, And lifts her leafy arms to pray; A tree that may in summer wear A nest of robins in her […]
Trust me. This is good. The lipstick from Dollar Tree – the Everything’s a Dollar, Dollar Tree is wonderful. Back story – One evening a group of girlfriends were sitting around after dinner at La Madeleine when Mrs. Ralph (My dear friend who channels Ralph Lauren in her decorating style – thus my name for […]
It has gotten to the point that anywhere you go, shopping is about the same. Every city has the same shops. Super Sister and I did go to a shopping center in Austin called The Arboretum, and it did have a couple of unique shops – Con’ Olio and Savory Spice Shop. Yes, we do […]
