Harvest Tea at the DeGolyer Restaurant at the Dallas Arboretum is a treat.  On the recent visit to the Arboretum, Super Sister, Friend Kim, and I treated ourselves to tea. Our table was set near the fireplace.  I liked it.  I loved it.  It was warm and cozy. Beautiful Noritake chine – each piece was […]

Finally a dry, warm, sunny day.  Ever-Lovin’ and I wanted to see Dallas Blooms while there were still blooms to be seen.  Let it be known.  The gardens are gorgeous, and there is plenty to see. (The Arboretum is always beautiful – in any season.) See what greeted us even before we entered the gardens. […]

It is officially spring in Dallas, Texas.  How do I know?  Dallas Blooms opened at the Dallas Arboretum on March 2, 2013.  Super Sister is in town, and first on our agenda was a visit the Arboretum.  Sweet Mother of Pearl.  How I love visiting the Dallas Arboretum.  It is pure joy. As we entered […]

Did not expect to write about the Dallas Arboretum again for a long long time (Ever-Lovin’s request), but a few of us went to see the Chihuly exhibits at night.  The night was crisp and almost cold – perfect for a winter outting.  If they would have served hot drinks, it would have been beyond […]

Blame it on Pinterest.  My fall board is full of gorgeous fall decorations. Blame it on The Christmas Tree Shops – They were selling pumpkins in early September. Blame it on the weather – It turned almost cold.  Fall was in the air. Blame it on the Dallas Arboretum and their 50,000 pumpkins. This year I […]

Mentioned to a friend that Ever-Lovin’ and I had been to The Mecca. “Oh, I would love to see and eat at the new Mecca,” says she.  (Many years ago, this friend had a connection with the owners of the Mecca, and during those days, she and her husband often dined at The Mecca.) Well… […]

The Dallas Arboretum – beautiful plants and flowers – Chihuly glass adorning the gardens (until November 5) – and then if you thought it couldn’t get any better – they add 50,000 pumpkins.  Yes, 50,000!  (The farmers around Floydada, Texas must be rich and happy.) Sweet Mother of Pearl!  Words escape me to describe fall […]

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 […]
