It had been a long long time since I had visited one of my true loves – First Monday Trade Days in Canton, Texas. Usually August is NOT the month to visit the world famous, humongous flea market, but … it wasn’t a terribly hot day (for August), and we thought we would give it a try. Metal […]
A new BBQ restaurant is in town – Ten 50 BBQ. For months we have watched as a site just north of Arapaho on Central Expressway (US 75) has been transformed into a BBQ restaurant. Finally it is open, and we went. Cute kid in the parking lot found us a good parking space. The entire […]
Meddlesome Moth – I had heard about it. The name intrigued me – Meddlesome Moth. I had seen the restaurant listed on suggested places to eat in Dallas, but I really did not know much about this Dallas’ Trinity Design District restaurant. When MarshaChristmas suggested lunch at the Meddlesome Moth I jumped at the opportunity. […]
It is strange to drive up to an historic park in Canada and see an American flag flying. But that is what happen when we visited Old Fort Erie – one of the Forts in the Niagara Parks. In 1937 – 1939, Old Fort Erie was restored to the 1812-1814 period, and since The United States […]
Isabelly’s Chocolates and Sweets! Sounds like my kind of place. It is a little sweet shop that you may have missed because it is located in downtown Richardson (If there is such a thing.) at 200 E. Main (Beltline) at McKinney Street. (southeast corner) Sometime ago I noticed the Isabelly’s Chocolate and Sweets signs on […]
There is a new restaurant in the neighborhood. Miss Jane told us about it on Sunday. We are always excited when new restaurants come to our area of town, and we are especially pleased when we like the food. Taco Joint is the new taqueria in the Richardson Heights Shopping Center at Beltline and Central Expressway. […]
Marge is such a special friend. Ask anyone who knows her, and they all will say that she is amazing. We shared a room while we taught at Wallace, and it is always a special treat to get together with her. She is a beautiful, classy lady, and I learned so much from her. It […]
A few minutes south of Buffalo, New York is the historic Village of East Aurora. Visiting this quaint village made for an enjoyable afternoon side trip. The streets were lined with beautiful homes with manicured lawns. The town reminded me of a Norman Rockwell painting, and I think they strive to preserve that image. Millard Fillmore’s […]
Friend Betty had an appointment in Denton, and she invited me to ride along. I so appreciate when friends consider Lanabird, and suggest, “Maybe we can eat somewhere special, and you can blog about it.” Thank you, Betty! While looking online, Oldwest Cafe was on several recommended lists. Then the receptionist added her stamp of […]
Okay, let’s be honest here. As we drove from the airport into Buffalo, I was not impressed. (To put it mildly.) In this area were many vacant and rundown homes and businesses. It was creepy and depressing. But… by the end of our vacation to Niagara Falls and the surrounding area, my opinion about Buffalo changed. […]
