Have you heard about Restaurant Week? A local radio station, KRLD, sponsors Restaurant Week each year. You can choose from over 125 fabulous restaurant for a $35.00 fixed price meal. The restaurant then donates $7.00 of that price to the North Texas Food Bank or the Lena Pope Home. It is a win/win situation. We […]
Just as we walked out of the parking lot of the Fort Worth Stockyards, low and behold, this is what we saw – the four o’clock cattle drive of The Fort Worth Herd. Loved it, loved it, loved it! Makes one really feel they are “Where the West Begins.” FYI: This is the world’s only […]
Trust me. There is little to blog about on an interstate highway. Miles and miles of highway with semi-trucks in front of you, semi-trucks behind you, and even semi-trucks beside you. (BUT, there are no stop signs, traffic lights, or reduce speed signs either.) Still I find the interstate boring, and I am easily lulled […]
Billboards do work. That big 14 X 48 foot sign (I Googled- How big is a billboard? – Aren’t you impressed?) promoting the Chickasaw Cultural Center in Sulphur, Oklahoma got our attention. I was so-o-o-o pleased when Ever-Lovin’ was interested in going to the center and suggested we visit it on our way home from […]
Crossroads Diner! Have you eaten there? If not, then you must. The first time I heard about this restaurant was one morning on Good Morning Texas. On that show, Chef Tom Fleming said he opened a breakfast and lunch diner so he could have more time to spend with his family. I liked that and […]
As Ever-Lovin’ said, ” You know you’re a redneck when – you go the the gas station to buy your shoes.” Some of our favorite restaurants are housed in gas stations, but I have never shopped for shoes at a gas station until now. (Sorry about the West Texas dust on the shoes. I tried […]
It is true. There is a ghost town in Andrews County. In reality, there is no town left – only ghost. If one knows where to look, remnants of the town of Shafter Lake might be able to be seen. About four miles west of Andrews is Shafter Lake. Yes, in this barren land there is […]
We went to visit Andrews, Texas over the weekend for the city-wide reunion. It really wasn’t one of “my years” for a reunion, but I like to go home each year. It is hard for me to explain, but I yearn to return to Andrews. Perhaps it is because I have such fond memories of […]
Some time ago when I was posting multiple posts about the Royal Tea, Dr. Jim mentioned that I need to post about some “real” food, not just “sissy” lady food. “You need to post about burgers,” said he. So here it is! First of all, I ask most of my friends their opinion on what […]
It all began when Nephew Garrett told Super Sister that there was a place she HAD to go. It was “definitely her kind of place.” It is called The Frisco Mercantile. Of course, it was closed when we drove by. We are so good at visiting closed stores. Super Sister had to go home (boo-hoo), […]
