Posted on: Jun 9, 2014        In: Out and About        With: No comments
A favorite day trip from Dallas is the town of Waxahachie.  In less than an hour, you can step back in time and enjoy a quaint town full of grand Victorian homes, charming cottages and antique shops. Super Sister came to town, and our goal for the weekend was to visit Waxahachie, Texas for the […]

A Home Filled with Vintage Treasures

Mike and Day are dear friends that we have known since our boys were young.  Many adventures have been shared with Day.  I have wanted to share her home with you for sometime. Mike and Day’s home is the most personal home I have ever visited.  The phrase – “If walls could talk.” certainly applies […]

Paula, my dear friend from Wallace Elementary days, invited me to visit her in Paris (Okay, Paris, Texas).  Visiting Paula and Paris has been on my “Want to Do” list for sometime, and I was so happy it finally happened.  Paula was gracious and told me to invite some of my friends to come along. […]

Victoria, Texas

Located between Houston and Corpus Christi is the town of Victoria.  It is referred to as “The Crossroads” because it is less than a two hour drive from Houston, Corpus Christi, Austin, and San Antonio.  It is thirty miles inland from the Gulf of Mexico, and is considered the perfect base camp for the Coastal […]

Super Sister’s Bathroom

I think some of you will be inspired by Super Sister’s bathroom, and I wanted to share it with you.  Be still my heart.  I never cease to be amazed at her and her unique style. The walls are painted a creamy buttery pale yellow.  I love the white beadboard that comes about halfway up […]

Super Sister’s Room

Some people have a special touch, and Super Sister is one of those people.  Going to her home is always like getting to go on a fantastic home tour – there is always something new and wonderful to see.  Some time back she redid a bedroom in her home.  I had seen the furniture, but […]

BB is my dear sweet precious friend.  We have been friends for over forty years, and I cherish her friendship.  This year Friend BB hosted the Jefferson party.  Many moons ago, several of these women took a trip to Jefferson, Texas – thus they are called  Jefferson.  Luckily, some of us have been included in […]

Be still my heart!  Sweet Mother of Pearl!  My, oh my, oh my! Linda was gracious and invited the Living Stones to her home for the Annual Christmas party.  Her home is beautiful, and (I kid you not!) everywhere you looked there were gorgeous decorations.  The big plus is –  I have pictures to share.

Touches of Fall at The Mrs.

Beautiful – Absolutely beautiful!  Seeing touches of autumn at The Mrs.’ home made my heart go pity-pat. Oh, how I loved the pumpkin topiaries that greeted us at the front door.  I kept walking outside just to look at them. It could not have been easy to find the right shape, color, and size of […]

Ann’s Dungeon

First let me tell you.  I was so impressed.  When we arrived to visit Ann and Bob recently, Bob was cooking dinner.  Ann had had a big day of tests to affirm that she continues to be cancer free, and he thought he would cook her dinner.  Sweet Mother of Pearl.  That is about the […]
