After processing a bazillion shoes at Buckner International, the gang was hungry.  Alex (the young man in charge of volunteers) suggested we go to the Circle Grill.  I guess you would call the Circle Grill an institution in Dallas – it has been here since the 1950’s.It is a diner sort of place with “home […]

The Old Red Museum

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 […]

Serendipity:  the faculty or phenomenon of finding valuable or agreeable things not sought for (Merriam Webster Dictionary) That is what happened to us.  This was so good.  It was serendipitous.  We were driving home from having breakfast at Smoke wondering what we were going to do for the rest of the day.  Suddenly we saw […]

For years and years, dining at The Mansion on Turtle Creek has been on my bucket list.  I remember friend  BB celebrating an anniversary there many years ago, and I dreamed about how wonderful it must have been to eat at this Dallas icon. Fast forward to Restaurant Week 2012, and guess who got to go […]

Another post about the Dallas Arboretum?  Shocking isn’t it!  I have more to tell you – really. A certain nameless friend had been wanting me to take her to the Dallas Arboretum so she could see the Chihuly glass sculptures.  She has a birthday soon, and a group of us thought a day at the […]

“Oh, what a beautiful morning.  Oh, what a beautiful day.”  Ever-lovin’ and I visited the Dallas Arboretum last week.  Even though most of the tulips are gone, and the azaleas have lost their blooms, words can not express how peaceful and refreshing it was to spend a day in the gardens overlooking White Rock Lake.
