TRAVEL THERE: URBAN RIO IN PLANO TX IS URBAN HIP, BUT I’M AFRAID I NO LONGER AM It’s no secret that Friday night happy hour is not my regular scene. It used to be. Wellington’s, The #3 Lift, Pappagallo’s, Arthur’s , The Bijoux, Daddy’s Money, The Currency Club, elan and The Point were my regularContinue reading “Urban Rio is Urban Hip”

TRAVEL HERE: TOUCHED BY ANGELS AND GREATNESS I’m not much of a groupie. I might buy a book by someone famous, but I probably won’t buy the t-shirt.  In fact, I’m a lot more impressed by important people who are already dead and still relevant, than I am the latest and greatest of the moment,Continue reading “A Story of God and All of Us”

TRAVEL HERE: DARN THAT DFW INTERNATIONAL In the general sense, I’m pretty fond of airports. If I’m in one, I’m either traveling (which is a good thing) or I’m picking up someone I care about (and that’s a good thing, too). DFW International Airport In a more specific sense, I have to be honest, DFWContinue reading “Darn that DFW International”

TRAVEL HERE: I LOVE & HATE THE NEW PEROT MUSEUM Warning this post has a split personality.  Part of me absolutely loved the new Perot Museum of Nature and Science.  Part of me didn’t.  Let’s start wit the part of me that did. A Good Reason to Visit I’ve been looking for an excuse toContinue reading “The New Perot Museum”

TRAVEL HERE: AN EVENING WITH THE TEXAS LEGENDS BASKETBALL TEAM OK – I’ll confess. Sports aren’t exactly my thing. They were my Dad’s thing, so I’m well versed in football, baseball, golf and bowling, but the passion didn’t trickle down. Though my husband loves snow skiing, hang-gliding and golf, he’s not a team sport kindContinue reading “A Legendary Evening of Basketball”

TRAVEL HERE:  YES, I WATCH ANCIENT ALIENS AND I LOVE IT! Hello, my name is Jane and I’m an Ancient Aliens addict.  It’s one of the few shows I bother to record and I rarely delete an episode, because I watch them over and over and over again.  The bane of my existence right now isContinue reading “Guilty Pleasures”

TRAVEL HERE: LAVENDOU’S – A LOCAL FAVORITE Last week I told you about my love affair with Gordon Biersch and since then I’ve been thinking about delicious places to eat in Dallas which I’ve failed to share with you.  At the top of that list would be Lavendou. It’s been around forever and there’s veryContinue reading “Love Me Some Lavendou’s”

TRAVEL HERE: BURGERS AT GORDON BIERSCH In the same way you sometimes forget to be grateful for your heart beating and your lungs breathing, it’s also easy to overlook the restaurants you enjoy most frequently. Take for instance my old favorite Gordon Biersch. I’ve mentioned it as one of my favorites in other blogs, butContinue reading “Burgers at Gordon Biersch”

TRAVEL HERE: THERE’S STILL BEAUTY IN BELONGING TO THE DALLAS MUSEUM OF ART A short while back, I received an email from the Dallas Museum of Art, announcing the exciting news that there would no longer be a charge for general admission. Well, maybe it wasn’t exciting for me.  As a member of many years,Continue reading “DMA, The Beauty of Belonging”

TRAVEL HERE: CROW COLLECTION OF ASIAN ART IN DOWNTOWN DALLAS If you haven’t been Downtown lately, then you haven’t really been to Dallas.  We’re just not the same place we once were – and in some ways,  that’s a good thing. The Dallas Arts District It’s been three decades since I first heard someone talkContinue reading “Downtown Dallas & The Crow”
