My fav relatively new female singer

If you haven't heard Eilen (pronounced to rhyme with feelin') Jewell, you're truly missing something. She has a beautiful, haunting voice. Unfortunately, she's never toured through Texas as of yet, but I'm workin' on it! Check her out when you get a chance (eilenjewell.com).

Dining out in Dallas

I went by one of my favorite places last night, Grimaldi's in the West Village. This, in my opinion, is the BEST pizza on the planet! I first tried them in Brooklyn, NY under the Brooklyn Bridge and very close to the River Cafe when my son attended Pratt Institute. I am so glad to have one here! They are beginning to expand throughout Texas. If you haven't tried them, you owe it to yourself. Bon appetit!

Fall in Dallas

I live in the northern part of the Oaklawn section near Turtle Creek. The fall colors are now full blown and beautiful. The Christmas lights are everywhere and the horse drawn carriages are out again for leisurely tours of this part of town in the evening. IT's my favorite time of year!

Wine-One of my favorite things!

For those of you who like wine but don't want to bust your budget to enjoy it, CostPlus/World Market has very good prices on some highly rated (by reliable authorities) wines. I'm a believer in <$20 prices which abound at World Market.

A New Beginning

Let's all hope for the success of the new administration in dealing with the myriad of problems our country faces. It's the least we can do!
