As Hot Rod says, “I could get use to this.” Up front I have to tell you. I was the only one of the group that REALLY wanted to go to The Broadmoor for breakfast. The others were kind and accommodating, and I was ecstatic. Sweet Mother of Pearl! The Broadmoor more than lived up […]
Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday dear Dwight! Happy Birthday to you! Today was Dwight’s birthday. Dwight is one of the finest men I have ever had the pleasure of knowing, and I have known some very fine men. Honest, dependable, hard working, a loving husband, a devoted father, and a […]
Dear Friend Ann has so much enthusiasm for life. She is like a walking and talking travel agent who knows good places to visit and eat in almost any place in the world. Recently Ann asked, “Have you ever eaten breakfast at Ballard Street Cafe in downtown Wylie?” “No-o-o. Never heard of it.” “Oh-h-h, You […]
For years and years, dining at The Mansion on Turtle Creek has been on my bucket list. I remember friend BB celebrating an anniversary there many years ago, and I dreamed about how wonderful it must have been to eat at this Dallas icon. Fast forward to Restaurant Week 2012, and guess who got to go […]

Just as we walked out of the parking lot of the Fort Worth Stockyards, low and behold, this is what we saw – the four o’clock cattle drive of The Fort Worth Herd. Loved it, loved it, loved it! Makes one really feel they are “Where the West Begins.” FYI: This is the world’s only […]
Trust me. There is little to blog about on an interstate highway. Miles and miles of highway with semi-trucks in front of you, semi-trucks behind you, and even semi-trucks beside you. (BUT, there are no stop signs, traffic lights, or reduce speed signs either.) Still I find the interstate boring, and I am easily lulled […]
Crossroads Diner! Have you eaten there? If not, then you must. The first time I heard about this restaurant was one morning on Good Morning Texas. On that show, Chef Tom Fleming said he opened a breakfast and lunch diner so he could have more time to spend with his family. I liked that and […]
Some time ago when I was posting multiple posts about the Royal Tea, Dr. Jim mentioned that I need to post about some “real” food, not just “sissy” lady food. “You need to post about burgers,” said he. So here it is! First of all, I ask most of my friends their opinion on what […]
How wonderful to have some more time to visit in and around Taos. Okay, I am beginning to feel like I am forcing you to see my vacation pictures. If you go to Taos, just know that The Mrs. knew where to take us. This is the Rio Grande Gorge about 10 miles northwest of […]
