Corn Dip – I remember it well. It was an holiday open house at an antique mall on Lovers’ Lane. One of the dealers was serving corn dip. Sweet Mother of Pearl. I think we all embarrassed ourselves standing around grazing on the Fritos and Corn Dip. I will never forget it. She told us […]
I mentioned before how excited I was to get to host the March 6th ADK meeting. March 6th commemorates the date of the fall of the Alamo. I have gathered Alamo collectibles over the years, and I had always wanted to host a Remember the Alamo party. Well, a meeting is not necessarily a party, […]

On a weekday afternoon, Ever-Lovin’ and I had been shopping, and found ourselves at the Firewheel Town Center in Garland. We were hungry (it was almost 2:00 pm).

Benedict’s is a breakfast, brunch, lunch restaurant that has made several lists as a recommended breakfast eatery in Dallas. We thought we should check it out. Bikers’ hogs were parked outside the front door. We took that as a good sign. Benedict’s is located in Addison on Betline Road at Inwood. Inside, the decor was […]
I call Marsha Christmas my best cheerleader. She faithfully comments on the Lanabird blogs, and she often recommends the blogs to her friends. I am so thankful.
