There was a discussion on our arrival of taking a day of rest after our journey across two states. What? Yours truly wanted to see and experience as much as possible, and the others were kind and obliged me. We did have a leisurely breakfast (Apple French Toast), and then we were off to Taos. […]
You were promised a tour of the cabin, and this is just a small glimpse inside this beautiful home. As usual, there are things I missed, and some of the pictures I took should have been better. Nevertheless, this will give you some ideas. Below is the entry to the living/den. Many years ago when […]
Legendary Big Texan Steak Ranch in Amarillo was our first meal of the road trip. Surely you have heard about the Big Texan. It seems that billboards are about every ten miles on I-40 that leads to Amarillo. (Not really, but there are ALOT of billboards featuring the promise of a free steak dinner.) Yes, […]
Oh, The Land of Enchantment! Pinch me. Did I really get to see and do this? Did I get to stay in a not so little cabin in the woods? Did I hear the creek babbling? Did I sleep with windows open and feel the cool mountain breezes? Did I see stars and a bright […]
I have been wanting to visit Hypnotic Donuts since before 2012. How did I first hear about this place? First son says he didn’t tell me. Maybe it was son number two or The Dallas Morning News. Who knows? All I know is that I had heard about an over-the-top donut shop called Hypnotic Donuts, […]
Another post about the Dallas Arboretum? Shocking isn’t it! I have more to tell you – really. A certain nameless friend had been wanting me to take her to the Dallas Arboretum so she could see the Chihuly glass sculptures. She has a birthday soon, and a group of us thought a day at the […]
Anytime there is a new restaurant on the east side of Central Expressway in Richardson, we consider it a reason to celebrate. We have begged for restaurants – any good restaurant for so long. I’m here to tell you, it has been slim pickin’s in our neighborhood – until now. Let it be known – […]
Oh, What a Day and Night! Sometime ago, Betty and Robert called to ask if we would like to get tickets with them for Jersey Boys. Yes, yes, yes! Then we decided to make reservations for an after “the theatre” supper/dinner at Screen Door. Life is good. I’ve been looking forward to this for a […]
Have you heard about the Chihuly Nights at the Dallas Arboretum? Be still my heart! I have mentioned more than once how much I have enjoyed the Arboretum this year. The Chihuly glass sculptures in the gardens are breathtaking, but just wait until you see them illuminated at night. These ferns were Nancy’s favorite. I […]
One of my most favoriest things to do in life is to go the the Farmer’s Market in downtown Dallas. When I go I feel healthy, connected to nature, and among the living. Ripe juicy fruit and vibrant vegetables are in every stall. We parked in Shed 3 and then remembered that the local growers sell in […]
