Back in Texas, Miss Merri Mac and I hopped on
an express bus and headed up to Dallas.
Vonlane is like flying first class without the hassle of flying.
The service is always exceptional, and that particular Friday Vonlane pampered their customers with a delightful surprise,
Chelles Macarons.
Victoria was in town for Dallas Market,
and we wanted to get in a repeat visit.
Dallas Market Showroom is a sight to behold.
How special to see all the products displayed in one space.
The Chef and I began collecting the beautifully crafted Italian pewter
made for Arte Italica in the 1990s, and I continue to add new pieces.
Later, we enjoyed dinner at one of my favorite restaurants.
Rise ~ Salon de Soufflé
Sweet and savory soufflés offered
a classic French experience.
It was too hot to entice us to attend the neighborhood parade,
but that didn't stop us from feeling festive.
The Texas hill country is a bounty of fresh produce
this time of year, so of course we stopped at one
of the local stands on our way out of town.
Yes, lucky us escaped the heat
for a few weeks in July and August.
I've been traveling to Colorado in the summers since I was a child,
and with every trip the mere sight of the mountains instantly
restores my body with calm and contentment.

Tales of the Traveling Tote
Welcome, I'm Sarah
The summer we married, my husband was in graduate school, and I was employed as a teacher. We took a portion of our savings that summer and purchased a sailboat. We christened our Catalina 22, “Hyacinths For The Soul” after Saadi’s poem. Our "Hyacinths" provided years of pleasure. We continue to cherish the extras of life as food for our souls.
Stay Connected!
