I had heard of Cronuts (registered trademark) – the hybrid between a donut and a croissant. They have been the rage in New York City since May of 2013 when they were created at the Domniique Ansel Bakery. From what I hear people wait in line for hours to have the opportunity to buy these pastries. Then one morning […]
If you missed seeing the Can- struction Exhibit at the State Fair of Texas, you missed a real treat. Area architectural firms in Dallas and Ft. Worth created sculptures out of cans of foods. In total, they used over 150,000 cans of food to create over 35 sculptures. This was a win/win situation. We enjoyed […]
You might have missed the Tyler Rose Festival (Plan to go next year.), but there are still things to see and do on a day trip to Tyler, Texas. For starters, the Rose Garden and Rose Museum are open year round. Visiting the Tyler Rose Garden made my heart sing. Rows and rows of roses […]
Wow! Going to the Texas Rose Festival in Tyler, Texas was this blogger’s nirvana. We partied with thousands of strangers at the Queen’s Tea, attended our first National Rose Show, toured the famed Tyler Rose Gardens, and visited the interesting Rose Museum. All of this happened in the span of about four hours, and all […]
I didn’t know. Evidently a lot of people do not know. In Dallas, Texas at Fair Park is the Texas State Vietnam Memorial, and it has been there twenty-five years come this November. Live and learn. While standing in line to buy coupons at the State Fair of Texas, I noticed these wreaths. I left […]
We made it to the State Fair of Texas this year by the skin of our teeth. (It closes on Sunday, October 19th.) I guess better late than never, but… Okay, we did somewhat better than we did last year when we didn’t even make it to The Fair. I seriously believe not going to The […]
This year there are more pumpkins at The Dallas Arboretum than ever before. If you missed Pretty Baby sitting in the pumpkin patch you can click HERE. That was too much fun, but today I wanted to focus on the gorgeous displays during the Fall Festival. Piles and piles of pumpkins, squash, and gourds fill […]
NorthPark Center was named as one of the “7 Retail Wonders of the Modern World” by Shopping Centers Today. I can understand why. There is luxury shopping, and fine dining. The landscaping inside the center is wonderful plus visiting NorthPark is like visiting a museum. Sometimes I feel like pinching myself when I am there just […]
Gone With the Wind – the epic Civil War saga debuted on a bitterly cold day (December 15) in 1939. Thousands stood in line to see the film adaptation of Margaret Mitchell’s Pulitzer Prize-winning novel of love and war. The public was not disappointed, nor have legions of movie-goers who have viewed GWTW during the last 75 […]
Heads-up…. This is the weekend for the 58th Annual Greek Food Festival right here on Hillcrest and Alma Roads in Dallas, Texas. The festival began as a ladies bazaar at the Greek Orthodox Church that was on Swiss Avenue. I remember that it was many moons ago when we literally stumbled upon the festival on Swiss Avenue, […]
