Fuel City Tacos

Posted on: Apr 13, 2014        In: Out and About        With: No comments
Number Two Son’s sweet wife Jenny told us about Fuel City Tacos sometime ago.  It seems that regularly someone from the hospital will make a “taco run” to Fuel City for their famous tacos, and she proclaimed them, “very good.” More than once we missed the exit to get to this fueling station/taco stand.  Oh, […]

Sugar and Spice Bakery

This is another recommendation from MarshaChristmas.  I do love knowing about her comings and goings.  She is always having so much fun.  Around the corner from the Kolache Station Bakery is another little bakery/restaurant called Sugar and Spice Bakery. (One can’t help but finish the phrase – “and everything nice”.  It is nice. (I know […]

Pollo Tropical

Number One Son suggested a new restaurant to try called Pollo Tropical.  Since it was a new restaurant, it had been getting reviews in the press. Be still my heart!  The cool sea breeze blue walls with white trim certainly reminded me of the tropics.  How wonderful to drive up to something so pretty.  I […]

I LOVE to get recommendations from my ultimate cheerleader MarshaChristmas.  She is a wonderful support to me and Lanabird.  MarshaChristmas gets out and about more than anybody I know, and she knows when places are good.  Recently she emailed me with not one but three suggestions of places I might like to try.  All three […]

The PumpHouse Riverside Restaurant and Bar – Victoria, Texas

Posted on: Mar 24, 2014        In: Out and About        With: No comments
We asked for a “good place to eat” in Victoria.  The desk clerk suggested The PumpHouse.  Then another guest chimed in and raved about this Riverside Restaurant and Bar.  Hi-ho, hi-ho, to The PumpHouse we did go.  Eating at The PumpHouse Riverside Restaurant and Bar was one of the most enjoyable evenings we have shared […]

Touring Texas – Downtown Bryan

Posted on: Mar 11, 2014        In: Out and About        With: No comments
Okay, I tried to figure this out.  From what I read, there are two towns – Bryan and College Station.  They were not called sister cities, but rather the articles I read refer to them as adjoined.  If you ask me, that is as clear as mud, and my instincts tell me there is more […]

Cafe de France

Going to new restaurants is fun.  It is exciting to try something new that maybe you my dear readers do not know about.  I love suggestions of places we should try.  BUT … Sometimes I forget to sing the praise of our tried and true restaurants.  The restaurants we continue going back to time and […]

Fish City Grill – Firewheel Town Center Garland

On a weekday afternoon, Ever-Lovin’ and I had been shopping, and found ourselves at the Firewheel Town Center in Garland.  We were hungry (it was almost 2:00 pm). As always, we wanted to try someplace different – Something with blog potential. (You, dear readers, are always on my mind.) We spied Fish City Grill.  Okay. […]

Bill Smith’s Cafe – McKinney, Texas

Posted on: Feb 25, 2014        In: Gatherings        With: No comments
Imagine the scene – We (Betty, Ever-Lovin’ and myself) were sitting in the waiting room waiting (that is what you do in a waiting room) for Betty to be called through the doors into the “I want your blood” room. (It was a medical lab.)  Conversation eventually got around (as it always does) to, “Where […]
