On the day we went to McKinney, Texas for breakfast at Snug, I noticed the Chestnut Square Farmers Market. (I do not know if “Farmers” should be – Farmers, Farmer’s, or Farmers’. On their website it is Farmers – so that is what I am going with, but….) Now, I had read and heard about […]
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. This said, we planned to get together. Minetta was to go, but couldn’t. Bummer! (Minetta, we missed you. We really – really missed […]
Shopping at thrift stores and consignment shops could be considered one of my hobbies. The hunt is entertainment, and the fact that quality merchandise can be found for bargain prices makes it even better. Susan is a woman after my own heart. At one time she was the owner of an antique store, and […]
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 […]
Henderson, Texas – Little did I know what a gem of a small East Texas town this would be. We enjoyed great shopping, good food, and fantastic hospitality. Historic Henderson the signs read.

This is not by any means an exhaustive list of places to eat along I-45 between Dallas and Houston (I would like your recommendations), but Excellent Cook Nancy mentioned that Buc-ee’s, Woody’s, and Sam’s were noteworthy, so we checked them out. After all, Excellent Cook Nancy does have experience driving I-45 to Houston. There are […]
Belly Flops are irregular Jelly Belly jellybeans. Isn’t that the cutest name – Belly Flops? They are really Jelly Belly jellybeans, but they aren’t quite normal. I can relate. Some of the Belly Flops are BFF (Best Friends Forever) and are joined at the hips. Others strive for greatness and try to be more than […]
Installing piers destroyed my beloved roses. The roses I had purchased for $1.00 a bush. They were beautiful, but crowded in the little bed by the garage. The story I am about to tell is admittedly overkill. My previous roses I picked from the leftovers of the season. They were beautiful, and I loved them. […]
