Isabelly’s Chocolates and Sweets! Sounds like my kind of place. It is a little sweet shop that you may have missed because it is located in downtown Richardson (If there is such a thing.) at 200 E. Main (Beltline) at McKinney Street. (southeast corner) Sometime ago I noticed the Isabelly’s Chocolate and Sweets signs on […]
There is a new restaurant in the neighborhood. Miss Jane told us about it on Sunday. We are always excited when new restaurants come to our area of town, and we are especially pleased when we like the food. Taco Joint is the new taqueria in the Richardson Heights Shopping Center at Beltline and Central Expressway. […]
Marge is such a special friend. Ask anyone who knows her, and they all will say that she is amazing. We shared a room while we taught at Wallace, and it is always a special treat to get together with her. She is a beautiful, classy lady, and I learned so much from her. It […]
There is a new restaurant in town, and we wanted to try it. Ever-Lovin’ and I made our way over to Campbell/Coit to dine at Manny’s Uptown Tex-Mex, but the line was LONG – 45 minute wait. (People in the Richardson/North Dallas area are so ready for new restaurants.) Maybe another day we decided. On […]

We were enjoying the view when suddenly there was this very tall monument. “Wonder what that is about?” With a turn of the rental car steering wheel, we […]

There are three levels to the tower – a revolving dining room, a buffet suite, and the observation deck. You can get tickets just for the observation deck if […]
There had been talk. Friends Carolyn and Minetta had lunch one day (I couldn’t go boo-hoo) to a new restaurant in Addison, Texas called Table 13. After Carolyn and Minetta returned from Table 13 they declared, “Lanabird has to go.” So they began planning a return trip to said eatery that involved me. Then – […]
Sometimes we neglect the ones we love. – That applies to restaurants that we have frequented for ever and a day. Cindi’s is on our frequent flier list. It is a comfortable place that serves good food – especially breakfast. Cindi’s is a mini-chain restaurant. They now have five locations. It is impressive that Anh […]
Steel City Pops is the new rave in Dallas, Texas. Down Lower Greenville way you will find popsicles for sale. Not just any popsicles – gourmet pops made from organic locally sourced (when available) ingredients. My how this area of Lower Greenville has changed. Back in the day, I had an antique booth in an […]
