Hole-y Mole-y! It’s Kinetic Art!

April 25, 2011

A stroll across my yard can be hazardous to the health! It isn’t the poison ivy, the fire ants, or the occasional snake that is the problem (you can usually see those before they get you). No, the problem is in what you can’t see — a labyrinth of tunnels beneath the grass that rivals [...]

Flaming Fajitas At La Familia

April 25, 2010

You might think that it is absolutely a coincidence that the Fort Worth Fire Department showed up at La Familia Restaurant this last weekend. Is it? Perhaps they know that La Familia has the hottest fajitas in town! Right at the table, the waiters pour tequila over the meat and flames it. This is just [...]

Good Golly, Miss Molly’s Is Haunted!

April 24, 2010

When we arrived at Miss Molly’s Bed and Breakfast, on Exchange Street in Fort Worth, I told the innkeeper that we wanted to seek the ghosts that haunt the place. “Oh,” she chirped. “Then, we need to close all the Bibles. I keep an open Bible in every room to tell the ghosts who is [...]

I’m Too Jaded For The Fort Worth Stockyards

April 21, 2010

When people visit from out of town, the Fort Worth Stockyards is NOT the first place I want to take them. In fact, I avoid taking them there unless they whine … and bribe me with bacon … chocolate … money. I know that if you aren’t from Texas you think that this place is [...]

Bizarre at the Henderson Street Bazaar

October 24, 2009

Every now and then, my husband and I start itching to go to a flea market. Several weeks ago, we sashayed down to the Henderson Street Bazaar in Fort Worth (1000 N Henderson St.) to see what they had going on there. We love garage sales and flea markets … don’t y’all? Raise y’allses hands [...]

Disjointed Photo Album

August 26, 2009

While editing photos for the parade I told you about yesterday, I got distracted looking at some of the photographs that we have taken. They are the ones that never became a post — but I liked them. That’s about the only thing they have in common. It’s “disjointed,” I know. But, it’s the way [...]

The Debacle At The Rainbow Lounge

June 30, 2009

Y’all, I would love to be a fly on the wall to hear Fort Worth City Chief of Police Jeffrey W. Halstead explain why in Thunder someone thought it would be a good idea to conduct a “routine inspection” of a gay bar on the 40th anniversary of Stonewall. Didn’t anybody think that through? Didn’t [...]

My Neck Of The Woods. Weston Gardens in Fort Worth, Texas

March 28, 2009

For those who love flowers, the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex has delightful gardens. The Fort Worth Botanical Garden claims to be the oldest in Texas. Dallas boasts the Dallas Arboretum. Both are a delight to the senses, and both can be found in guidebooks. There’s a little known jewel in Fort Worth … well, almost in [...]

Stella’s and Full Circle Emporium

March 20, 2007

I got so busy with other things that I forgot to finish my Sunday post about our trip to Fort Worth on Saturday. We were disappointed with the experience, until we went over to Bluebonnet Circle near the TCU campus. Quite by accident we found a delightful little shop, well actually two shops in one, [...]
