Miss Jane of gardening fame sent me a text. Texas Country Reporter had been to Frontier Texas in Abilene, Texas. She knew we were going through Abilene on our way to Andrews for the Class of ’63’s fifty year reunion, AND she thought Frontier Texas was someplace Lanabird would like to visit. She was absolutely […]
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 […]
Pecan Lodge cooks up some of the best barbecue in Texas in the WORLD – Pecan Lodge is wildly acknowledged as serving the best barbecue in North Texas. That is what I heard and read. Texas Monthly lists Pecan Lodge as one of the top 4 barbecue joints in Texas in their ratings of the state’s […]
Miss Jane has been been talking about going to a small farmer’s market in Richardson on Saturdays. Now, I had visited this market many years ago, and it was pathetic – there were maybe three or four vendors. Well, things have changed. The market has grown. Although it is still small, there are some quality […]
Had heard about the Stephenville Museum. Aunt Lois would sell lye soap during their Pioneer Days each year. BUT I had never actually been to the museum. It was a treat. The old log cabins are most interesting, and we enjoyed our visit. If you like old historical places, this is a good place to […]
Being with Super Sister, Cousin Janie, and her daughter Amy in Stephenville was FUN. Janie’s grandparents were long time Erath County residents. I believe her grandfather was a principal in the Rocky Point community which made him a rather important person. I remember going to their home as a child. On Amy’s list of things […]
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 […]
Jim had a milestone birthday. Won’t tell you which one, but suffice it to say – he is older than me. The Queen of Everything planned a surprise birthday party for him, and the inspiration came from this picture. O-0-0-0-h! A-a-a-a-h! Be still my heart. Is that not the cutest picture? He was one precious […]
We went to Talouse Cafe and Bar on our way home from tip-toeing through the bluebonnets in Ennis. We stopped on Knox Street to shop a bit, and it was supper time. (Okay, dinner time since we went to a French restaurant.) I remembered that The Mrs. had mentioned Toulouse was a good restaurant, and […]
Cinco de Mayo has come and gone, but the Living Stones are prepared to celebrate a day late on our monthly excursion to the Well. The Living Stones travel to Oak Cliff once a month to share a meal with our friends at the Well. We have eagerly been preparing. Excellent cook Nancy cooked twelve […]
