Another eatery on the Square in McKinney, Texas was on my radar – Spoons Cafe. Betty’s son Paul (an in-the-know foodie) gave me the recommendation. So – before the organ concert at the courthouse theater, we took the opportunity to dine at Spoons. I am beginning to think it is my camera that takes crooked […]
It is strange how things work. I had not visited downtown McKinney, Texas for a long long time. Then within three days, I went to downtown McKinney three times. Yes, there were three seperate trips made. Be warned. There are more posts about McKinney, Texas just waiting to be shared. Here is how it happened. […]
I have said it before, and I will say it again. One of the best things about writing Lanabird, is the recommendations we get from other people. It is so much fun getting to go to these recommended places. We get to have the bestest time eating good food, and visiting with dear friends. That […]
Carolyn finished summer school. She had worked endless hours preparing and supervising the yearly summer school classes. She was ready for some fun, and I am always in need of fun.

Aunt Lois is 100 years young. She is amazing. Aunt Lois is blind and has trouble hearing, but she is still sharp. She lives in Stephenville, Texas, and Super Sister and I have been trying to visit her once a month. True confession. We had to put ourselves on a schedule so that we would […]
Certainly one needs to have tea in England, but how was I to choose? There were so many choices. I had seen pictures of tea at the Orangery at Kensington Palace, and I had read reviews that were favorable. Kensington Palace is one of the Royal Residences. It had its beginnings in the late […]
On the last night of our tour, we were taken to Brockfield Hall, Warthill, York, England for a “Be My Guest” English dinner. It was a chance for us to rub elbows and have dinner with almost royalty in an stately English home. The bus couldn’t go up the narrow lane to the home. I […]
I tell you. Life is good. Number Two Son’s precious wife Jenny knew of a seafood place called The Boiling Crab that Lanabird needed to know about. She just knew I would love it, and I did. You have heard the term “hole-in-the-wall”? I do believe The Boiling Crab would qualify. It is located in […]
