Ever heard of Strawn, Texas? If you are headed west on I20, about halfway between Ft. Worth, Texas and Abilene is the small community of Strawn. When I say small, I mean small. In the 2012, there were 643 residents. Strawn has a famous six man football team (The Greyhounds) that has won two state championships […]
Summertime is officially here, and the temperature is beginning to heat up – that means it is time for snow cones. Number Three Son began sampling different snow cone places, and that made me want to join in the fun. The plan is to visit several snow cone establishments in the near future, and to share […]
Inside the High Street Antique Mall on Central Expressway /US75 is one of the best tearooms in the Metroplex – Chocolate Angel Cafe and Tearoom. (High Street Antiques is located across the freeway from Collin Creek Mall.) In the past, I have written about Jenny’s wonderful baby shower that was held in this tearoom, but… […]
Somebody told me about Angela’s at the Crosswalk. They couldn’t even remember the name, but they remembered that the pies at a restaurant in downtown Plano were delicious. Since we have been on a pie circuit, we hunted out this fine establishment. Downtown Plano is happening, and we sometimes find ourselves headed north on Central Expressway […]
Travel Preston Road past Plano, Allen, McKinney, Frisco and Prosper, and you will come to the little town of Celina. Oh, urban sprawl has reached this far, and my fantastic nephew Garrett recently moved his sweet family to this charming little town. (I predict it won’t be little much longer.) After our journey to Waxahachie, Super Sister […]
A favorite day trip from Dallas is the town of Waxahachie. In less than an hour, you can step back in time and enjoy a quaint town full of grand Victorian homes, charming cottages and antique shops. Super Sister came to town, and our goal for the weekend was to visit Waxahachie, Texas for the […]
Situated at the far end of Snyder Plaza near Southern Methodist University is a Dallas institution – Kuby’s Sausage House. Ever-Lovin’ and I have been coming to Kuby’s for over 40 years. To be honest, neither one of us could believe that I had not blogged about this authentic German market, deli and restaurant […]
Friend BB told us about a relatively new restaurant in Allen by the name of Cafe Del Rio. Just head north on Central Expressway, and exit on Bethany. It will be on the right hand side of the expressway. Believe this if you can. (I do find this fact interesting.) The Allen location of this […]
Where the West Begins -Fort Worth, Texas. This interesting city is an unusual mixture of cowboys and culture. The tour of Fort Worth with Rose-Mary Rumbley and the Allen Retired Teachers Association was enjoyable and informative. If you ever get an opportunity to take a tour with Rose-Mary, do! She is funny and has stories […]
While on a tour of Fort Worth, Texas with the Allen Retired Teachers, our guide, Rose-Mary Rumbley, mentioned that no trip to Fort Worth would be complete without a visit to a museum. Fort Worth is certainly known for their wonderful museums. Major problem – We were there on a Monday, and the museums are closed […]
