<div style="text-align: left;">Mr. and Mrs. Claus cap the Grapevine Parade of Lights, the largest parade in North Texas. With over 100 entries, the annual parade is a wonderful way to get in the holiday mood with marching bands, cheerleaders, floats and, of course, the "special guests" at the end. The cold weather added to the holiday feeling so we bundled up, got our hot chocolate and came on out to Main Street for this great event!<br />

He states that Salt Grass is the best steak house in town. Considering that I have relegated red meat to the bottom of my food list, I could not, in any shape or form, agree or disagree with him. So do you agree that this is where one can find the best steaks in the metroplex?!<br /><br /><div></div>A Wandering Soulhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08029324506631725345noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6241047339332642756.post-46559143709311764522009-03-28T19:45:00.004-05:002009-03-28T20:12:26.969-05:00Cool Cafe<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Os9gK1bhu-g/Sc7F6hUxyyI/AAAAAAAAARo/DCbXQiXQ-hI/s1600-h/Imported+Photos+00001.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5318405819139738402" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Os9gK1bhu-g/Sc7F6hUxyyI/AAAAAAAAARo/DCbXQiXQ-hI/s400/Imported+Photos+00001.JPG" border="0" /></a> <div>Discovered this cool bakery and cafe while out grocery shopping in the Carrolton area.

No, not to shop for assemble-it-yourself furniture, but to have a fill of Swedish meatballs, lingonberry juice and those delicious desserts! As you can see, the menu prices are not too bad either. It's also food with a view, as you can see <a href="http://dfwbehindthescenes.blogspot.com/2009/01/frisco-skyline.html">here</a>. You get a vantage view of the Frisco horizon with that serving of meatballs and gravy!<br /><div></div>A Wandering Soulhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08029324506631725345noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6241047339332642756.post-39928643667503594352008-11-27T17:05:00.004-06:002008-11-27T17:09:53.991-06:00Happy Thanksgiving!<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Os9gK1bhu-g/SS8oXryuJjI/AAAAAAAAAQg/QAzYsOT0FUI/s1600-h/Thanksgiving+2008+016.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5273478076031706674" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Os9gK1bhu-g/SS8oXryuJjI/AAAAAAAAAQg/QAzYsOT0FUI/s400/Thanksgiving+2008+016.JPG" border="0" /></a> Even in these challenging times, there are indeed a lot that we can thankful for.

And the sure sign that fall is indeed here? Well, pumpkins of course.
