Travel Preston Road past Plano, Allen, McKinney, Frisco and Prosper, and you will come to the little town of Celina. Oh, urban sprawl has reached this far, and my fantastic nephew Garrett recently moved his sweet family to this charming little town. (I predict it won’t be little much longer.) After our journey to Waxahachie, Super Sister […]
Situated at the far end of Snyder Plaza near Southern Methodist University is a Dallas institution – Kuby’s Sausage House. Ever-Lovin’ and I have been coming to Kuby’s for over 40 years.

It is a burger joint that serves greasy grilled hamburgers, fries, onion rings, tater tots (yea!), and a wide assortment of malts and milkshakes. (I thought I would be going to […]
I am so happy I do not live in McKinney, Texas. Do not get me wrong. I love McKinney, Texas with its historic homes, beautiful court house, charming shops, boutiques, and trendy eateries. That is exactly the point of this blog. Friend Betty’s son Paul told her about Emporium Pies. Friend Betty told me about […]
Visiting and touring Paris, Texas was a so much fun. Getting to visit again with my dear friend Paula whom I have known since Wallace Elementary days was fantastic. Plus she was an excellent tour guide for her hometown. Honestly, she could get a job being the official spokesperson for Paris, Texas. Joining me on this day trip […]
