Gary called it the scenic route to Lake Hideaway. It took twenty minutes longer than going on the interstate, but it was so well worth it. You can since the struggles of the small towns that pepper the side roads. But at the same time you cheer their courage and determination. On the way home […]
Gary and Judy are salt of the earth people. Gary is beyond brilliant, and Judy is beyond talented as a cook and seamstress. Not ones to complain about their life situations, they have always been an inspiration to me. Judy and Gary have a second home at Hideaway Lake in East Texas near Tyler, and […]
A girls day out – What could be better? Some of the members of our Living Stones Bible Fellowship Class went on an outing to Granbury, Texas. At a little after 9:00 a.m., seven of us crammed into trusty Tahoe, and we were on the road. Now that you can take the George Bush Turnpike […]
Mentioned to a friend that Ever-Lovin’ and I had been to The Mecca. “Oh, I would love to see and eat at the new Mecca,” says she. (Many years ago, this friend had a connection with the owners of the Mecca, and during those days, she and her husband often dined at The Mecca.) Well… […]
“Welcome to the State Fair of Texas.” Big Tex is sixty years old this year. Still looks pretty good. in those Dickies. “While photographing food stalls at the State Fair of Texas, one of the vendors said, “Aren’t you going to take my picture?” “Sure,” says I. She was so cute! She was happy, friendly, […]

Never been there. Never done that. In all my forty something years as a resident of Dallas County, I had never been to the Old Red Museum. I had wondered about it, and told people I wanted to go, but… We saw the floats, found a parking space, and proceeded to watch the State Fair […]
We did so many things in Colorado, but I do not want to bore you. I thought I would do a blog about several places we visited in Colorado, but then when I began to write this, I had too many pictures of the Air Force Academy to show you. Please bear with me. […]
While driving down Highway 287 towards home, we came to the little town of Chillicothe, Texas. As we entered we were aghast. I think it was Betty that said, “I think Chilllcothe has seen better days.” The buildings were boarded up, and there was little sign of life. As we got further into the town, […]
As Hot Rod says, “I could get use to this.” Up front I have to tell you. I was the only one of the group that REALLY wanted to go to The Broadmoor for breakfast. The others were kind and accommodating, and I was ecstatic. Sweet Mother of Pearl! The Broadmoor more than lived up […]
