Here's a nice note from Ann Podeszwa, mom to Alex. When Alex was being treated at Children's for neuroblastoma he was one of volunteer, Nancy Johnson's crafting regulars. This picture was taken two years ago at Children's. Here's her note and while you're at it check out Alex's website and drop him a line! ...

Get ready for another mouth watering recipe that we'll be cooking with my best pal, Miss Sadie Bomar (aka Justin Timberlake's grandma). What will we be whipping up in Miss Sadie's kitchen? Tune in next week to find out. Also, be on the lookout for an exciting autographed celebrity item to be given away to one lucky ...
You will not want to miss the Richardson Chamber of Commerce Women in Leadership Luncheon featuring Texas State Senator Florence Shapiro! Senator Shapiro has been blazing a trail for women to follow in politics since the late 70's when she first ran for office. She is one of most dynamic and incredible women that I have b...
Remember 14-year-old Matan Michaeli that I highlighted a few weeks ago here on Tiki Cocktail? I got tons of emails from readers saying how much his story inspired them. Well, his story just keeps on motivating readers around the metroplex. Here's a Dallas Morning News story that I did on him last week.
I LOVE the Pantry Restaurant located in historic downtown McKinney. They have the best food for lunch and you CAN NOT leave there without getting a slice of pie or piece of cake. You can also order ahead for whole pies. Here is assistant manager, Sulem Castaneda holding one of their sinfully yummy chocolate cream pies!
Jamie Bereyso worked at the Pantry when she was a teenager. On Saturday, she couldn't think of a better place to celebrate her bridal shower. Here she is (second from the right) surrounded by her bridesmaids. She ties the knot on July 19. Congratulations, Jamie!
I've covered tons of A-list artists over the years and now at various celebrity and music industry events. Well, this little ol' band from Fairview ranks right up there with them in my book. They're the Mid-Life Crisis Band, and no, they're not going through one. They just thought it would be a catchy name. Here's...
Here's to one of my heroes, Dr. Tony Herring of Texas Scottish Rite Hospital. Dr. Herring is one of those people that is a gift from God for all of the work that he does and has done with the patients at Texas Scottish Rite Hospital for the past 30 years where he's served as chief of staff. To honor this year's anniver...
Barbara Marshall, seated with her mother, Betty Steagall were chowing on BBQ at Sonny Bryan's tonight at the Richardson location. "We've been coming here since the 1950's and 1960's when Daddy would bring the whole family to the one on Lombardi," said Barbara.
Stop by any Sonny Bryan's location today where all of their tasty sandwiches are only $2.50 all day long! It's in celebration of the Original Inwood location's 50th anniversary! Yum!! Here's manager, JT Todd of the Richardson location with some of his crew.
Nancy Johnson is the volunteer I highlighted a few weeks ago for her the crafts she does twice a week for the past 10 years with the kiddos undergoing treatment at Children's. Click on the link below to read her story that I wrote about in the Dallas Morning News. Also, check out some of the pics of her adorable p...
She's the Nita Pearson Elementary school nurse that I wrote about in December whose quick thinking led to treatment that saved 8-year-old student, Roger Zapata's life. At last week's school board meeting, Ms. Cox along with fellow Garland Independent School District nurse, Jack Buck were each honored for th...
Check out the Grammy Awards on Sunday night and look for the blinged out guitar that Justin Derrico, guitarist for Pink will be playing during Tina Turner’s and Beyonce’s performances.
Okay, so I told you last month about my friend, Marty Rendleman who formerly managed this goregeous talent named Kristy Lee Cook who recently got picked for American Idol. Within days of the episode airing, fan sites and blogs started popping up in her support which is great - who doesn't like support? But there's alw...
Here's Pappadeaux general manager, James Graham all decked out in his home made Mardi Gras hat. James really got into the making of it. Pointing to the crawfish shells on the brim, "That's the remainder of my lunch that I used to decorate it!" he said. Speaking of which, on Fat Tuesday (tomorrow) Pappadeaux's will ha...
That's what the Cajuns say. English translation, "Let the Good Times Roll" which is what Ronald and Felecia Wilson did by celebrating at Pappadeaux in Richardson on Saturday night! After being at sporting events all day for their EIGHT kids - yes, EIGHT, the couple spent a romantic evening alone for a belated birthd...
Here's a picture of cute little brothers, Robbie, 3 1/2 years old, and David, 2-years-old at L. L. Hutchkiss Elementary School in Dallas monkeying around at the playground. They were swinging and sliding around with their dad, Robert. Aren't they adorable???? In little David's hand is a piece of gravel that he was waitin...
Debbie Dadey is a superstar in the children's book world. She'd be equivalent to Fergie in the Pop Music World. Her career is that hot! She's written nearly 200 children's books and has sold over 40 million copies! Debbie is an inspiration to many writers. She's also a longtime friend. We were in the same writer's...
