FREDA'S ABODE

I'm back to the rest of the week in Dallas.   Wednesday night was spent at Freda's house where we took time decorating her place.   After going to a design place and picking up some items that would enhance the rooms, we quickly got to work.

Flowers filled were place one at a time in a lovely vase that sits on the window sill.  Moving furniture around was also fun, being the designers we were, with 
a glass of wine in hand and much sharing of ideas.

Lisa stopped over and we had dinner, eating salads from LaMadeline's.   Oh my, I eagerly ate salad that never lost its normal good taste...

and a surprise dessert to top it off.

The next day I high tailed it over to Linda's and found
​this message on the kitchen counter.

We took a tour through Linda's home and I spotted these hats I did a long time ago when I began the world of painting.   A very special photo of Marge, Linda and me at the Arboretum one spring when the tulips were blooming caught my eye,  
bringing back some very special memories.   I loved the visit!

Friday lunch took place at Sylvia's where I met up with my traveling  buddies for the past 40 years.   It was fun spending time catching up because it's been six years since I have been back to Dallas.   Talk.  Laugh.  Eat.  in that order took place.

This is a short recap of my visit to Dallas in a week as I share the tree that sits outside Freda's front yard.   I had a ball the entire time being there and have not told you everything - the time I spent at Katie's house is
