Husband to Super Sister told me about the “mini-museum” roadside parks – the Safety Rest Areas. Since I first visited the rest station in Salado, (Click to read the first blog about Safety Rest Areas in Texas.)

Bayou Bend – I like it. I love it. If I lived in Houston, Texas, I would visit Bayou Bend regularly. Bayou Bend is the MFAH house museum for American decorative arts and paintings. Displayed in the former home of Houston civic leader and philanthropist Ima Hogg (1882–1975), the collection is one of the finest […]
I want to go back to Grapevine. What a neat town. Yes, I have been several times in the past, but when I went with Ever-Lovin’ to Tobert’s a while back, we walked around a bit, and I thought, “We should do this more often.” (Maybe next time with some girlfriends. – They would enjoy […]

Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day, and on this day, I had a most wonderful meal. Super Sister and Paul were so right. I loved dining at Kerbey Lane Cafe. Thank you for the treat! From what I understand, Kerbey Lane Cafe is well known throughout Austin, and I can understand why. Breakfast […]
Have you ever ridden a Duck? – one of those amphibious tour vehicles. Super Sister and Husband Paul treated me to an Austin Duck Adventures Tour. Great fun, and I learned something also. The “unsinkable” (As certified by the Coast Guard) hydra terra vehicle provided us a tour of Austin and Lake Austin. For many […]
