I have to tell you about this now because there is so little time. The Age of Impressionism: Great French Paintings from the Clark is on exhibit at the Kimbell Art Museum through June 17, 2012 – that is one week from today. If at all possible, you must go. Back story: Jorene is one of my […]
Thursday night we were living in “high cotton”. Would you believe? We had dinner in The French Room at The Adolphus in downtown Dallas. Be still my heart! Of course it was a deal. We bought a voucher from Travelzoo for a dinner for two, and our good friends Betty and Robert joined us. […]
The Antique Rose Emporium – Isn’t that the most wonderful magical name? Several miles outside Brenham, Texas is this display garden nursery. Super Sister had raved about it. Ever so often someone would mention going to Brenham for antique roses. How intriguing. I longed to see for myself. On the long way home from Bastrop, […]
Oh, Sweet Mother of Pearl! The Chihuly Glass exhibit at the Dallas Arboretum is awesome. Do plan to go (soon before it gets any hotter). We have begun to reap the benefits of becoming members of the Dallas Arboretum, and we are glad we joined. On Thursday, Ever-Lovin’ and I went with good friends Betty […]

Dream about sitting in this swing on a lazy summer evening, and enjoying the smell of the honeysuckle. […]
How do I write a blog about a wonderful weekend that isn’t 50 million pages too long? I don’t want to bore you, but if you go to Branson, you might need to know some of these things. Our dear friends Bob and Betty invited us to join them, Johnny and Susan, and Bill and […]
Recently on a fantastic spring day, Ever-lovin’ and I decided to visit the Homestead Heritage community outside of Waco, Texas near Elm Mott. I had heard of the village from friends, and also some of the local restaurants in Dallas proudly serve grits from the Homestead’s 1760’s gristmill. I had not connected the dots, but […]
This past weekend was the Park Cities Historic and Preservation Society Home Tour. It is always fun to go into the houses of the rich and famous (Although, I did not know any of these people. I guess they are not too famous.) FYI Highland Park was designed by Wilber David Cook who was also […]
Serendipity: the occurrence and development of events by chance in a happy or beneficial way —Weikel’s Bakery in La Grange, Texas was just such a place for us. We were driving along highway 71 near La Grange, Texas looking for a place to eat breakfast. Hunger was beginning to set in – it was almost 10:00. That is when we noticed […]
