Bambu – The Thai-Asian restaurant in Richardson, Texas has gotten some good press. Dallas Morning News selected it to be in its Top 100 D-FW Restaurants. I decided we needed to see and taste for ourselves. Inside there are copies of their rave reviews from the Dallas Morning News, and the Observer. It is a […]
Richardson Heights and Cottonwood Heights neighborhoods were the only neighborhoods in Richardson, Texas not to have a park. Some time ago Miss Jane (the wonderful gardener) and her husband John began talking about a park that was being built in their neighborhood. They were excited and loved hearing and then sharing the plans for the […]
I have friends that do the right thing. They eat healthy food and exercise. Dear friend Jorene is one of those people. She cares about me and desires that I exercise. In a recent conversation she begged me to exercise because of the overall health benefits. Okay, she made an impression. I have now walked […]
Haystack – Burgers and Barley Number One Son was excited that he had been someplace we had not gone. He thought I should go. Then my number one cheerleader Marsha asked if I had visited Haystack. If I hadn’t gone, she thought I should. Two recommendations for a new burger joint in my neighborhood. We […]

A few warm days, and we know spring and summer will soon be here. It is not my intention to rush nature, but …. It is time for spring to be here, and that means – it is time for some occasional ice cream treats. There is no better place for handmade gourmet ice cream […]
Learned something today. I am sure you knew this, but I did not. Did you know that pavement can be rehabilitated? Yes, roads go to into rehab. When I saw this phrase “Pavement Rehabilitation” I thought it odd, strange, unusual, and frankly a little bit funny. In my feeble mind, roads can be repaired, repaved, […]
Recently it dawned on me. I have been reviewing hamburger “joints” in Dallas, and I have forgotten to tell you about one of my favorite diners that is right here in Richardson, Texas. My neighborhood. What a shame. Del’s Charcoal Burgers has been in Richardson for as long as I can remember, and we have […]
We had it planned. This month’s D Magazine listed Taco Republic as one of the 20 top taquerias in Dallas. Be still my heart. Taco Republic is on the service road just north of Spring Valley Road on North Central Expressway. Not far from my house. I was totally shocked at this listing, because […]
