Friend Betty had an appointment in Denton, and she invited me to ride along. I so appreciate when friends consider Lanabird, and suggest, “Maybe we can eat somewhere special, and you can blog about it.” Thank you, Betty! While looking online, Oldwest Cafe was on several recommended lists. Then the receptionist added her stamp of […]
What I am about to share is not life shattering. (Come to think of it – Nothing I share is life shattering news.) But…It is always amazing to me when I learn something, and that is exactly what happened while recently standing in the line to go through security at DFW airport. As I […]
There had been talk. Friends Carolyn and Minetta had lunch one day (I couldn’t go boo-hoo) to a new restaurant in Addison, Texas called Table 13. After Carolyn and Minetta returned from Table 13 they declared, “Lanabird has to go.” So they began planning a return trip to said eatery that involved me. Then – […]
You know the routine when planning a trip to see a show at the Music Hall at Fair Park. You leave home early in case there is traffic because you certainly do not want to be late. Then you arrive early, and you have to wait and wait for the doors to the theater to […]
Sometimes we neglect the ones we love. – That applies to restaurants that we have frequented for ever and a day. Cindi’s is on our frequent flier list. It is a comfortable place that serves good food – especially breakfast. Cindi’s is a mini-chain restaurant. They now have five locations. It is impressive that Anh […]
Steel City Pops is the new rave in Dallas, Texas. Down Lower Greenville way you will find popsicles for sale. Not just any popsicles – gourmet pops made from organic locally sourced (when available) ingredients. My how this area of Lower Greenville has changed. Back in the day, I had an antique booth in an […]
Nothing earth shattering here. Probably most of you know about and have visited Joe T. Garcia’s Mexican restaurant in Fort Worth. But, on our recent day trip to Cowtown (to see the Indiana Jones Archeology Exhibition), we took advantage of the opportunity to visit this legendary restaurant. We enjoyed it so much – we thought […]
To say that there are Indiana Jones fans in our household would be an understatement. A “Remember when?” story around holiday meals often brings to mind when the entire family waited in a line that stretched around the theater (even with pre-bought tickets) to see the first movie. Number One Son and his wife even […]
“When we go to Abilene, I want us to go to Perini Ranch.” I cannot tell you how many times Betty said those words to us. Maybe a bazillion times. Betty and Robert raved about Perini Ranch, but … it never happened until now. On our latest journey to Abilene, Betty made sure we had reservations, […]
For ever and a day – years and years – as long as I have known her (and that is a long time) -Friend BB has raved about the Paramount Theatre in downtown Abilene. Some days when Friend BB’s was a little girl, her father would take her into the city to see a movie […]
