We did so many things in Colorado, but I do not want to bore you. I thought I would do a blog about several places we visited in Colorado, but then when I began to write this, I had too many pictures of the Air Force Academy to show you. Please bear with me. […]
My first impression of the Boardmoor was a ceiling. Stars on the domed ceiling literally took my breath away. This was another ceiling treatment under the portico. Be still my heart. Okay, this is not a ceiling, but it is the border on the outside of the hotel, and I liked it. The detail is […]
While driving down Highway 287 towards home, we came to the little town of Chillicothe, Texas. As we entered we were aghast. I think it was Betty that said, “I think Chilllcothe has seen better days.” The buildings were boarded up, and there was little sign of life. As we got further into the town, […]
As Hot Rod says, “I could get use to this.” Up front I have to tell you. I was the only one of the group that REALLY wanted to go to The Broadmoor for breakfast. The others were kind and accommodating, and I was ecstatic. Sweet Mother of Pearl! The Broadmoor more than lived up […]
We were coming around the mountain, and up the mountain and down the mountain. But mainly we were going 45 miles up the mountain. From Durango to Silverton we traveled from an elevation of 6500 feet to over 9700 feet on the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad. It was an experience traveling through the […]

Dear Friend Ann has so much enthusiasm for life. She is like a walking and talking travel agent who knows good places to visit and eat in almost any place in the world. Recently Ann asked, “Have you ever eaten breakfast at Ballard Street Cafe in downtown Wylie?” “No-o-o. Never heard of it.” “Oh-h-h, You […]
For years and years, dining at The Mansion on Turtle Creek has been on my bucket list. I remember friend BB celebrating an anniversary there many years ago, and I dreamed about how wonderful it must have been to eat at this Dallas icon. Fast forward to Restaurant Week 2012, and guess who got to go […]
