Yes it is Christmas time and the holiday season allows for the placing of a lot of stuff on your place, mostly helping the local power company out, but what the heck. Some decorations are really cool and some tacky and in the past we have posted some of both including those on our homes and elsewhere.

Here is the last RV park we were at, the Destiny RV Resort in Denton, and their display this year. They really have done a spectacular job and a lot of work on the whole park especially the main office here.

Above the roof, in the daylight, you can see the detail of the especially neat (tacky) blow up trailer with a Santa that moves in and out of the door.

Of course the license plate is ... Joll E RV ... which we can relate to!!!

Changing subjects ... A new dining experience enhanced our theme of travel and food and that is of Mimi's here in Dallas. This place rivals La Madeleine which has grown to be a large chain. Mimi's is excellent and you start with the champagne trio below; each fruit drink, strawberry, orange, and pomegranate, enhanced with a bit of bubbly ... nice; they were provided as a flight at a single price and really great!

Then on to the main course for brunch which was eggs Benedict for me and French toast for Jo-Anne. Mine was excellent and rivaled Able's in Shertz as they are the standard for us for Benedict fare. Jo-Anne's toast was not so hot and next time she will try the Benedicts ... but the mimosas were perfect.

And here are Ma and Pa at Farina's on Main sipping some wine and enjoying the village of Grapevine, Texas. Good wine and food and we will be back to sample more.
