More fun began when Jorene and I hit the streets of downtown Weatherford. I was shocked how many shops there were. Basically we shopped York and Main Streets which are side streets to the square. First stop was in a most unusual boutique called Something Special. Sherry O’ creates hand painted shirts (she is wearing […]
Weatherford, Texas was on my list of “Places to Visit.” The main reason Weatherford was on the “Places to Visit” list was because it is the hometown of my dear sweet friend Jorene. Jorene and I have been friends since Sunbeams. We were baptized on the same day (She went first because I was a […]
As we crossed over the Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge that connects downtown Dallas, Texas with Singleton Boulevard in West Dallas, we noticed a retro style diner named Hots – as in hotdogs. (Note to self – that might be a good place to visit.) The building was cute and the parking lot was full. Then… […]
I don’t think we have ever gone to the Dallas Arboretum in August. Too blooming hot! But, was I ever surprised. They actually have flowers blooming in this Texas heat. Sweet Mother of Pearl. Look how pretty this is. The gardens were green and lush. Here is a close up picture. What are these beauties? […]

Sounds very yummy.” NO, I had not been to […]
Another eatery on the Square in McKinney, Texas was on my radar – Spoons Cafe. Betty’s son Paul (an in-the-know foodie) gave me the recommendation. So – before the organ concert at the courthouse theater, we took the opportunity to dine at Spoons. I am beginning to think it is my camera that takes crooked […]
It is strange how things work. I had not visited downtown McKinney, Texas for a long long time. Then within three days, I went to downtown McKinney three times. Yes, there were three seperate trips made. Be warned. There are more posts about McKinney, Texas just waiting to be shared. Here is how it happened. […]
Carolyn finished summer school. She had worked endless hours preparing and supervising the yearly summer school classes. She was ready for some fun, and I am always in need of fun. This said, we planned to get together. Minetta was to go, but couldn’t. Bummer! (Minetta, we missed you. We really – really missed […]
Friend BB knew we were going to Abilene. She knew we were going to Frontier Texas. SO – she suggested we make a left turn and go by Hardin Simmons University – which by the way just happens to be her alma mater. She assured us it was not out of the way, and so […]
