Sometimes we neglect the ones we love. – That applies to restaurants that we have frequented for ever and a day. Cindi’s is on our frequent flier list. It is a comfortable place that serves good food – especially breakfast. Cindi’s is a mini-chain restaurant. They now have five locations. It is impressive that Anh […]
Steel City Pops is the new rave in Dallas, Texas. Down Lower Greenville way you will find popsicles for sale. Not just any popsicles – gourmet pops made from organic locally sourced (when available) ingredients. My how this area of Lower Greenville has changed. Back in the day, I had an antique booth in an […]
Nothing earth shattering here. Probably most of you know about and have visited Joe T. Garcia’s Mexican restaurant in Fort Worth. But, on our recent day trip to Cowtown (to see the Indiana Jones Archeology Exhibition), we took advantage of the opportunity to visit this legendary restaurant. We enjoyed it so much – we thought […]
To say that there are Indiana Jones fans in our household would be an understatement. A “Remember when?” story around holiday meals often brings to mind when the entire family waited in a line that stretched around the theater (even with pre-bought tickets) to see the first movie. Number One Son and his wife even […]
“When we go to Abilene, I want us to go to Perini Ranch.” I cannot tell you how many times Betty said those words to us. Maybe a bazillion times. Betty and Robert raved about Perini Ranch, but … it never happened until now. On our latest journey to Abilene, Betty made sure we had reservations, […]
For ever and a day – years and years – as long as I have known her (and that is a long time) -Friend BB has raved about the Paramount Theatre in downtown Abilene. Some days when Friend BB’s was a little girl, her father would take her into the city to see a movie […]
Ever heard of Strawn, Texas? If you are headed west on I20, about halfway between Ft. Worth, Texas and Abilene is the small community of Strawn. When I say small, I mean small. In the 2012, there were 643 residents. Strawn has a famous six man football team (The Greyhounds) that has won two state championships […]
Summertime is officially here, and the temperature is beginning to heat up – that means it is time for snow cones. Number Three Son began sampling different snow cone places, and that made me want to join in the fun. The plan is to visit several snow cone establishments in the near future, and to share […]
Inside the High Street Antique Mall on Central Expressway /US75 is one of the best tearooms in the Metroplex – Chocolate Angel Cafe and Tearoom. (High Street Antiques is located across the freeway from Collin Creek Mall.) In the past, I have written about Jenny’s wonderful baby shower that was held in this tearoom, but… […]
Somebody told me about Angela’s at the Crosswalk. They couldn’t even remember the name, but they remembered that the pies at a restaurant in downtown Plano were delicious. Since we have been on a pie circuit, we hunted out this fine establishment. Downtown Plano is happening, and we sometimes find ourselves headed north on Central Expressway […]
