While working on the Easter table with a garden theme, my first thoughts were to use as my inspiration the folly garden on the River Oaks home tour in Houston. Be still my heart. I loved, loved, loved this garden. I was captivated by the idea that someone would go to the trouble and expense […]
If you are a lover of English antiques and collectables, it would be worth your time and effort to go to Waxahachie on Tuesday April 9, 2013. Judy B recently went on a buying trip to England and brought back a container of wonderful antiques. I got to preview the sale, and want to share […]
The energy in the room was unbelievable. Imagine a roomful of dynamic teachers who have recently been honored as “The Best of the Best” in Richardson ISD. Each year the RISD Excellence in Education Foundation names ten Richardson ISD teachers as STARS Teachers. Alpha Delta Kappa is an honorary organization for outstanding women educators. It […]
My lifelong friends Betty and Bob moved to McKinney a few years ago, and it has been so much fun getting to be with them. We have taken trips together – thanks to the generous sharing of their time share – and eaten out almost weekly. Occasionally Bob will smoke ribs and wings and invite […]

Working on the Easter table decorations is like playing house. The process is both fun and frustrating. First I drug out almost every possible tablecloth, placemat, and napkin I own. (It is a characteristic I inherited from my mother. I love to see all my possibilities and choose what I want to use.) I got […]
Sweet Mother of Pearl. This was fun. First Baptist Church Richardson hosted a fantastic day of merriment called Hop and Hunt for the children of our church and the community. Though the day was wet and dreary, and they had to move the festivities into the Activities Center, it was a great day. Disclaimer: I […]
I was glad when they said unto me. Let us go into the house of the Lord. Psalm 122:1 (My favorite Bible verse when I was a child.) Today was a wonderful day in the house of the Lord. Be still my heart. It was amazing to walk into the Living Stones Bible Fellowship class […]
The Alpha Delta Kappa (ADK) meeting was at my house. I have written before about what an honor it is to be associated with these talented women educators.
