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 […]

It has been a while since I wrote about the Richardson Farmers Market that is held each Saturday at 635 W. Campbell Road. This post it totally Miss Jane’s fault.

“Tuck that tummy. Tuck that tummy. Breathe. Breathe.” If Laurie (AKA Ida) says that once during each hour of water aerobics she must say it a bazillion times. Laurie is the cute and funny instructor for our class. She is the one who keeps us moving. Laurie is also amazing in that she makes connections […]

She raved about the exercise, the instructor, and the friends she has met. To be honest, Carolyn was insistent. She knew I had been walking and […]
