This is so much fun. Friends give me suggestions of good places to eat. Then Ever-Lovin’ and I “have to” go out to eat so I will have something to blog about. Do I have a good life or what? While at the First Monday Trades Days in Canton, sweet friend Nancy from Brentfield ask […]
I want to go back to Grapevine. What a neat town. Yes, I have been several times in the past, but when I went with Ever-Lovin’ to Tobert’s a while back, we walked around a bit, and I thought, “We should do this more often.” (Maybe next time with some girlfriends. – They would enjoy […]
Never had been. Always wanted to go. Didn’t know what to expect. Wasn’t what I expected. (That makes no sense, but it is how I feel.) Bad news. There wasn’t a rodeo on the day we went to the Ft. Worth Stock Show and Rodeo. Boo-hoo. Honestly, I wanted to cry. Check the schedules carefully. […]

And tonight I found it. I just had to show it to you. This photograph was once published in the Dallas Morning News showcasing […]
The Christmas season has officially begun – at least in Richardson, Texas. Happy times are hopping and happening. Several days ago Richardson had its annual Christmas parade, and some of my nearest and dearest were in the parade. (I have wanted to post about this event earlier, but… better later than never.) Ever-Lovin’ and I […]

I am a little ashamed to write this, but…. Back in the day, there was a group of us that thought we could have easily been an advertisement for T.J.Maxx. We shopped and shopped T.J.’s (We were on the first name basis with T.J.Maxx.) for all the best bargains. It was during this time that […]
