dallas

I have lived in Texas for over thirty five years. It has been an interesting ride to say the least. The year I moved here was in the middle of the first six weeks of the seventh grade. If Canyon schools were like any every other school in the Panhandle we were studying Texas History.

I feel sometimes that as many trips as I take to Dallas to see my daughter and grand daughter that I can just go on autopilot. What is the fun in that though? So I challenged myself to find cool things.

It's been several years since I have actually thought about this. Being able to solve this mystery over the Christmas break made me happier than I could even express. There are things your kid says that you don't know where it came from. Has this happened to you?

I remember this place all too well. It was one of those fast, go-to places when I was pregnant with my daughter. Oh, and it was good. The mashed potatoes, the dinner rolls. Oh and I always had either the chicken fried steak or chicken fried chicken.

May wanna think twice about moving away from Amarillo...at least financially.

We are dreaming already of the mashed potatoes covered in gravy. We have pumpkin pie on the mind. That green bean casserole is calling our name. If you have the plans to travel for Thanksgiving this year there are good time and not so good times.

Texas is the birthplace of some BIG TIME entertainers

For those of us in our 40's, the 90's were our prime time. Saved By The Bell, Super Nintendo, Big Bopper Magazine, Saturday morning cartoons with our favorite cereal. Now we can go nostalgia crazy with a stay in Dallas.

So there will be a point next week that I am going to be super stressed and over worked. I will be spending a few days in the Dallas area helping my daughter move. I am not looking forward to it at all.

This seems like a never ending occurrence it's time to help my daughter move again. This has been yearly since she originally moved to the Dallas area. We were hoping that this year we could skip it for once.

I don't have a gym that I am a member of so I really don't have a horse in this race. I was made aware of something really awesome that Planet Fitness has changed in their employee handbook due to our weather here in Texas.

We can always use the moisture. No matter what the form of it is. I would prefer the rain over the snow. That is because here in Amarillo it is hardly ever just snow. We usually have the killer winds to go with it. Oh and more often than not we have the ice as well.
