District 9 - A New Neighborhood Spot

I've been out of town for the past 11 days and during this time Mister must have spent some time looking for a new spot to visit.  As luck would have it, he found one right in our own neck of the woods.

District 9 --- no, not either of the movies that come to mind --- is a new brewpub with a German flair.

North Haven Gardens

Looking for a new coffee shop this morning and the one I thought we were going to turns out to be in Whole Foods.  Drat.  At any rate, we are not far from North Haven Gardens and Mister remembers that they put in a cafe a few years back.  Yep, it's been that long since we were there.  This must be remedied.  One moment in the shop and garden reminds me of why I love it here.  We will be back for plants this year. 

The cafe has just opened and after we order and sit down, out comes my camera.  Just look at the windows all around and the fun stuff to see.

Brewery Hopping in Dallas

It's been a busy morning.  I had Red Hats, Mister went to help his mother, and then returned to pick me up.  Some lunch at home and a clothes change for me and guess what????  We are going out to do some brewery hopping.  There are so many popping up all the time and we are way behind the times here in Dallas.  It's time to remedy that.

First stop is Pegasus Brewing.  It's turning out to be a beautiful day, making the patio come alive with families and friends enjoying the sunshine and a beer or two.

2019 Red Hat Season Begins

I have had a super busy week but am back home in time for Red Hat fun.  Our 2019 season begins today with a fun birthday party hosted by Jenn.

Welcome to January.  Mister and I are on our way to Richardson and Jeng Chi to meet up with the ladies.  He drops me off out front and I feel as though I really am in a little Chinatown.  It's wonderful.

Super/Blood/Wolf Moon

I had a really long day, went to bed early and crashed.  However, my sweetheart knew I wanted to see the moon tonight and woke me right before my alarm went off.  Yep, I was getting up no matter what.  We had a great view and I took a few pictures with my phone before heading back to sleep.  Take a peek at the wonders of the world we live in.

Herb's Coffee -- Old Union Coffee Location, New Owners - and Union Bear Brewing

Saturday errands are on the agenda for today so that we can continue our "purge" at home tomorrow.  We are getting started by visiting Herb's House, a "new" coffee shop that is in the old Union Coffee, which we visited in this 2017 birthday season post.  It now has a new look and we want to see just what's what.

Overall, the entrance is pretty similar but it has been streamlined quite a bit.  If you peek at the old post, you will see that the many sofas are gone, giving it more of a sterile feel.  That's okay, but not quite the coffee shop ambiance that I love so much.  Coffee's great though

Out and About -- DMA, A New (To Us) Bakery, and Kalachandji's

S A T U R D A Y -- day.  I know, that's not how the song goes, but it's in my mind this morning.  It's errand day as tomorrow means the mass cleanout begins at home.  Fun times ahead.

At any rate, we are going to spend the day together and have some fun along with checking things off the list.  Mister has located a "new to us" coffee shop on the way to Mom's.  9 Rabbits Bakery is in the Harry Hines district (something to remember for future shopping trips) and quite unique.  It's an Asian bakery and so there are so many new and fun items to enjoy while sipping on a cup of coffee.  Take a peek at the shop -
