TRAVEL THERE: BECAUSE FRIENDS ARE WORTH THE EFFORT Facebook,Twitter, Instagram and Pinterest do not make up for face time. Sure it’s great to read that tweet or see a picture, but even the next best thing to being there isn’t as good as actually being there. The Disco Kings of Virginia Beach In case youContinue reading “Friends Are Worth the Effort”

TRAVEL HERE:  DALLAS AREA UNIVERSITIES OFFER A WEALTH OF ENTERTAINMENT In an area like the DFW Metroplex, with so many voices calling for our attention, it’s easy to forget our schools offer many entertainment opportunities. What’s more, tickets for their productions cost only a fraction of what the pros want us to pay. Play Ball!Continue reading “Local Universities – a Wealth of Entertainment”

TRAVEL HERE: DALLAS MUSEUM OF ART PRESENTS AN EXHIBITION OF ISLAMIC ART NUR: Light in Art and Science from the Islamic World Opens at the DMA Though I loved absolutely everything about the recent preview party for NUR, I almost didn’t get there. Bill and I were working on a project and even though I’d remindedContinue reading “DMA Presents Exhibition of Islamic Art”

TRAVEL HERE: PEROT MUSEUM OF SCIENCE & NATURE IN DALLAS  Getting My Second Look at The Perot Not quite a year ago I had the opportunity to attend a UTD alumni function downstairs at The Perot.

TRAVEL HERE: ADDISON’S OUTBACK STEAKHOUSE My bestie is an attorney. On occasion she’ll offer up a little pro bono legal advise and we’re grateful for it.  More often than not, hubby uses our gratitude as an excuse to take his two favorite girls to dinner, but the last time we picked her legal brain forContinue reading “An Outing to Outback Steakhouse”

TRAVEL HERE: QUICK MEAL FROM A PLANO PEI WEI You know the drill. A zillion things to do in a day and then you have to be somewhere for something in the evening. That usually means I drive through and pick up a burger, but for once I changed the routine. I picked Pei Wei.Continue reading “I Picked Pei Wei”

TRAVEL THERE: JAMBA JUICE, A DELICIOUS TREAT I’m not exactly what you would call a health nut, but I do healthy things in spite of myself.  I watch what I eat – because if I didn’t, I wouldn’t be able to wear my clothes and that would really tick me off.  I work out for the sameContinue reading “Jump, Jive, Jamba”
