TRAVEL HERE: MORE GOOD STUFF AND MORE QUESTIONS AT MBA OK, we’re back at the Museum of Biblical Arts in Dallas.  I’ve been warming up on the sculpture garden and one wing of the museum for several weeks.  I need to move on and need to tell you about the rest of it. National CenterContinue reading “Final Words About the Museum of Biblical Arts”

TRAVEL HERE: WHAT YOU’LL SEE AT THE MBA I certainly didn’t anticipate a multi-post series on the Museum of Biblical Art  (MBA) when I sat down to write about my recent visit, but that’s what it’s turned into.  We’ve chatted about the origins and history of the place, discussed the sculpture garden, a little architecture and theContinue reading “Exhibits in the Museum of Biblical Art”

TRAVEL HERE: MBA WORTH A VISIT So last week I suggested you visit the Via Dolorosa Sculpture Garden at Dallas’ Museum of Biblical Arts.  It’s free and right across the street from NorthPark.  I also think you should go inside the museum.  Let me tell you about my recent visit. An Outing with the BuffaloContinue reading “A Visit to the Museum of Biblical Arts”

TRAVEL HERE: SERENE OASIS AWAITS ACROSS BOEDECKER FROM NORTHPARK When you think about attractions in Dallas you’ve got a lot to choose from.  Theme parks, museums, shopping – you name it, but you may not have even heard of the Museum of Biblical Arts (MBA).  Many locals haven’t and even among those who have, there’s aContinue reading “Museum of Biblical Arts, Dallas TX”

TRAVEL HERE: HOME IMPROVEMENT INSANITY I’m going to rant today.  I’ve whined before over the “improvements” companies insist on making to things I love – “improvements” that render my favorite things useless to me.  All it takes for a cosmetics company to discontinue a lipstick color is for me to like it, but that’s differentContinue reading “YouTube Videos Lie”

TRAVEL HERE:  NOT EXACTLY A SUMMER TREAT, TRY IT IN AUTUMN Since Joe T. Garcia’s is one of my favorite places in the whole wide world, I think any trip to Fort Worth should include a visit to their Fiesta Garden, but Bill doesn’t feel the same way.  For one thing, he has an aversionContinue reading “Tim Love’s Woodshed Smokehouse in Fort Worth”

TRAVEL HERE: A TRIO OF ARTISTS TAKE PARIS BY STORM So, imagine you’re a Seventeenth Century Parisian and you’re looking for a little something for the palace wall.  Are you going to settle for some no-name artist? Or are you going to hire the guys who just installed the new altarpiece in Notre Dame Cathedral?  YouContinue reading “The Brothers Le Nain at Fort Worth’s Kimbell Art Museum”

TRAVEL HERE: DALLAS MUSEUM OF ART CONNECTS TO THE ARTS DISTRICT OK, so I’ve been a little hard on the DMA as of late.  I loved Bouquets and  Body Beautiful, but while I found other exhibitions, like International Pop interesting, I was less than in love.  What’s more, as I traveled around enjoying delicious meals inContinue reading “Facelift for the DMA”

TRAVEL HERE:  NEW EXHIBITION GOES FAR BEYOND BEAUTY I do love fashion and Dallas is a great place for it.  NorthPark, The Galleria, Highland Park Village, The Dallas Design District – these are just a few of the places Dallas offers to the fashion-minded and until mid-August, the DMA is another stop for the fashion-forward. TheContinue reading “Irving Penn: Beyond Beauty at Dallas Museum of Art”

TRAVEL HERE: APPARENTLY IT’S NO LONGER THE THOUGHT THAT COUNTS Let me begin with a disclaimer.  I was recently one of the hostesses for a gift card bridal shower.  I adore the bride and if she’d wanted a mud ball shower, it would have been my pleasure to throw her a mud ball shower (notContinue reading “Gift Card Showers”
