TRAVEL HERE: BAR LOUIE AT FIREWHEEL Have I really been in the new house for a month?

Frolicking at Firewheel Town Center Now thatContinue reading “Bar Louie Has Its Strengths”

AT HOME IN HEATH: OUR FIRST NIGHT On our move-in day, my peaceful respite on the patio was cut short by two texts, but I was happy to receive both. One was Bill letting me know the second load was on its way. The other was my bestie, telling me she was leaving work andContinue reading “Our First Night in Heath”

AT HOME IN HEATH: SOME MORE MOVING STORIES Let’s see now, where were we? Oh yes, we’d just put out the fire and the movers were beginning to unload the truck. Interior Traffic Jams One crisis was resolved, but the last time I’d been in the house, the painters were draped over the stairwell.  So,Continue reading “Some More of the Moving to Heath Story”

AT HOME IN HEATH: THE FIRE AND RAIN MOVE Well, I’m not heading to Heath any longer – I’m here!

HEADING TO HEATH: TAKING GRANITE FOR GRANTED – LESSON FIVE Almost Paradise The granite situation had been so dire, I’d postponed my hair appointment.  Now I don’t get my hair done every week like my mom used to.  For her it was a  Friday morning thing she did come hell or high water.  I’m notContinue reading “Taking Granite for Granted – Lesson Five”

HEADING TO HEATH:TAKING GRANITE FOR GRANTED – LESSON 4 How Much Did You Say? You’ve only been waiting for a week, but we waited several weeks before hearing exactly how much our granite would cost.  When we did we couldn’t believe it.  At first, our contractor assumed someone had measured wrong.  But no, the ridiculousContinue reading “Taking Granite for Granted – Lesson Four”

TRAVEL HERE: THE BASSES AT FORT WORTH’S KIMBELL ART MUSEUM If you had so much money that you could buy anything you wanted, what would you buy?  The first thing I would probably do is run out and buy a Jaguar.  Thankfully, folks like the Kimbells and the Basses are a little more philanthropic thanContinue reading “The Basses at the Kimbell in Fort Worth”

HEADING TO HEATH: TAKING GRANITE FOR GRANTED – LESSON 3 Lots of Lessons to Learn When Building I need to let you know something.  I may be the one who is telling you all about this build, but I’m not the driving force behind it.  I’d like to hear a round of applause for myContinue reading “Taking Granite for Granted – Lesson Three”

It’s no secret that I love the Dallas Museum of Art. My Facebook pals probably got tired of my almost daily reminders that they needed to see the DMA Bouquets exhibition.  They won’t be hearing much from me during this latest show. Let’s Party!
