TRAVEL HERE:  SECRET SERVICE MIGHT BE A BETTER NAME FOR ROCKWALL’S NEW RESTAURANT If you lived in the Rockwall area and I told you a new restaurant was located behind the Sonic on Ridge Way, you’d have a clue about where to look, but unless you actually went behind the Sonic, you’d never find StandardContinue reading “Seeking Standard Service”

TRAVEL HERE: WATTER’S CREEK AND THE ALLEN OUTLET MALL Having safely escaped the Lavender Festival, Deb and I pursued a couple of our favorite pastimes, holiday or no holiday – dining and shopping.  Come along with us. It Shouldn’t Have Been a Secret I’d been keeping a secret from my bestie and didn’t even realizeContinue reading “Shopping Extravaganza”

TRAVEL HERE: THE METROPLEX AND POINTS BEYOND Memorial Day Weekend is the official beginning of summer and I kicked off my summer with a vengeance.  I abandoned my computer and headed into the streets for some fun.  Come along with me. Why Not Start Early! My little sister, Susan, was having a birthday on theContinue reading “Bouncing Around North Texas”

TRAVEL HERE: DRESSES, PRINTS,  MODERN MEXICANS & MORE Doubling down seems to be the latest thing at the DMA.   A few months ago the DMA  invited me to an event featuring Divine Cats and Cocktail accouterments.  We enjoyed the cats and cocktails, but it did seem an incongruous pairing.  You can still visit theContinue reading “Doings at the DMA”

TRAVEL HERE: ARTFUL DELIGHTS AT THE DMA So I’ve been in the process of catching up on my adventures.  We’ve been to Gruene TX for a girl’s road trip, Birmingham AL for business and Fort Worth for Monet.  All this leaves me with yet another confession.  If you missed the Devine Felines at the DMA,Continue reading “What’s Doing at the Dallas Museum of Arts?”

TRAVEL HERE: DID YOU MISS IT?Seems like I’m doing a lot of apologizing of late and here I go again!  There’s been a wonderful exhibition on the young Monet at the Kimbell in Fort Worth and even though I’ve been several times, I didn’t tell you about it.  By way of atonement I’ll warn youContinue reading “The Young Monet at the Kimbell”

TRAVEL HERE: TRUTH UNDER SIEGE Today is not my usual day to blog and I’m actually supposed to be writing a newsletter for my favorite ministry, but I just had to say something.  I’m a writer, so words matter to me.  If you are an American, Liberty should matter to you. The Outrageous Nature ofContinue reading “Words Do Matter!”

TRAVEL HERE: WHAT I’M DOING WHEN YOU DON’T SEE ME Yes, I know.  I dropped off the face of the earth last week – at least as far as this blog is concerned.  What you might not know is that when you don’t see me here, I still have a footprint. See, I took onContinue reading “Confessions of a Busy Blogger”

TRAVEL HERE: MY NEW GO-TO ITALIAN PLACE On a Sunday afternoon, after a museum visit, Bill and I spent about forty-five minutes driving around downtown Dallas.  We thought maybe in one of those places we used to hang out we’d find something new and exciting, but mostly we found construction sites for more multi-use developments.Continue reading “Saint Rocco’s New York Italian at Trinity Groves”

TRAVEL HERE: DRIVING AROUND AMONG OUR MEMORIES So it was a hot Sunday afternoon in Downtown Dallas and we were hungry.  We’d spent several very enjoyable hours re-familiarizing ourselves with the American galleries at the Dallas Museum of Art, but it was about to close.  I mentioned Trinity Grove, but also pointed out it was farContinue reading “A Hot Sunday Afternoon in Dallas”
