The White Rock Lake Artists Studio Tour is this weekend, October 13-14.  From reading the name "White Rock Lake", you would think this tour would be a bunch of booths set up by the different artists around White Rock Lake.However, this is not the case.  It should be named the White Rock AREA Artists Studio Tour.  This is not an ordinary art festival.  You basically go, in your car, from house to house, rather it's studio to studio.  Sounds like an interesting concept.  I'm probably not going to go because I wouldn't feel comfortable getting in and out of the car so many times, and also insulting an artist if I walked in and walked out, but my mother in law is coming in town this weekend to go to it, which is how I heard about it.Here's a link to the information.Here's a link to the map ... 10/11/2007

                                                                     All I can say is WOW! Talk about a team not giving up and pushing to the end. After 5 interceptions and 1 fumble from Tony Romo, the Dallas Cowboys still won.That is a game that people will talk about for a long time. What were your thoughts on this game? The onside kick with Dallas recovering, Tony's 5 interceptions, the Bills coach calling time out with two seconds to go and Folk (the Cowboys kicker) hitting the distance twice!Were you one of the ones who turned the TV off thinking the game was over with 3 minutes to go?

Italian families of the past seemed to have about five boys' names and five girls' names that they used over and over. So that made nicknames an absolute necessity.Since his name was Joe and many of the other men in his family were also Joe, everyone called him Joe-Joe. And you could find him day or night by going into four places: the Elite Club, the Big Time News Stand, the British Queen or LuAnn's on Greenville where he'd try to hustle the young girls.He was there betting the nags, pulling tips, playing a few hands of cards, sometimes even betting on which raindrop on the window would reach the bottom first, and trying to get a young honey to smooch with him.Now once a year, about the time of his birthday, Joe-Joe'd have his Jo-Jo's Annual Birthday Watch Clearance Sale to get rid of ... 10/08/2007

There are many great traditions of the State Fair of Texas...                                  Big Tex                                                                                                 Texas v. OU Red River Shootout football game           and of course, the Fletcher's Corny Dog!                           Everyone knows that a trip to the Fair is not complete until you have had a golden fried dog on a stick. The proper name for this Texas tradition is a CORNY DOG, if you call it by any other name (especially corn dog) than all will know you are a Fletcher newbie. (proper pronunciation is "kawr-nee dawg")Neil & Carl Fletcher "cooked" up this delectable treat in 1942 and they have been satisfying Texans for the last 65 years. Operating six locations on the fairgrounds, they ... 10/06/2007

Countdown to the Red River Rivalry.  The Texas Longhorns and the Oklahoma Sooners are at the Cottonbowl during the State Fair of Texas at 2:30pm on this Saturday, October 6, 2007.Both teams are entering this game with losses from this past weekend.  They'll both have some frustrations to vent out.                                  Any thoughts on who is going to win this one?  I'm not sure I want to be home during the game since my Husband is still livid from the loss on Friday.  OU Fans, don't hesitate to state your opinion, however, for both Texas and OU fans, please keep it clean, and no attacking people and/or their integrity.  Your comments will be deleted if I deem it to be rude.    10/01/2007

Wow, it's been a busy couple of weeks but I wanted to share with you our final project we completed as the Dallas Chapter of IAHSP (DIRC) the week of September 17th, 2007. It all began at the beginning of the year with our planning.  In July we hosted a Summer Fiesta Fund-raiser to raise money for the projects we were working on.  We set the goal high for ourselves this year.This project was a continuation of our annual IAHSP World Wide Staging Service Week 2007 September 9th - 16th.  For some back ground you may refer to my original post. I would really just like to post here a photo diary of what the Dallas Chapter did for our  Habitat for Humanity "adopted family".  With the help of our wonderful business partners and vendors and a dedicated team from the DIRC we were able to provide... 09/30/2007

            Carrying in loads of aluminum trays of noodles loaded with chicken, mountains of green salad and hot vegetables, fresh rolls by the hundreds along with multiple gallons of milk, orange juice and lemonade, and package after package of cookies for dessert, we arrived at the Austin Street Shelter within the deepest of the bowels of downtown Dallas.            Two hours before, our washing machine had frozen on it annual "won't run after it's filled itself to the brim with water" position.  That had been the last straw for Patty and me as we had tried to traverse through the one crisis after another weird day that was now to be followed by a full-moon.  The only thing we felt sure would be missing would be the witch flying past it in the night.            With five other members... 09/28/2007

Today is the official opening of this year's Texas State Fair!The Fair will run through October 21.Something that they have been working on for the past few weeks is trying to get more of their vendors to use No Trans Fat Oil.  I mean, most everything at the fair is fried, so why not try to help some people who aren't going to help themselves by gorging everything they see.Personally, I do have a weakness for Funnel Cakes, which is basically just fried pancake batter, but they smell and taste so good... and I eat mine the traditional way with the Powered Sugar... no fruit topping for me!!There are many days where there are discounts so check out their website to see which day is which. 09/28/2007
