Lifestyles is gazing ahead and anxiously excited about 2010. I am hopeful for our economy as we are starting to see some relief from the wilting of our businesses. With the look ahead, I naturally reflect on what made the hard times good, and the things I rely on to make life good again.
These may not make the “Oprah List,” and most assuredly extravagant gifts won’t be distributed about. Lifestyles magazine may not compare to Oprah’s hoopla, but then the one thing Oprah doesn’t have that we do is the wonderful spirit of Denton County. I really do love this place, so I want to start 2010 with “My Favorite (Denton) Things” list. While writing the list, I quickly found that everyone here at Lifestyles wanted to add some of their favorites as well!
Big, Orange and Frenchy
Frenchy’s sense of community is unsurpassed, he supports our vets with his heart and his time and he keeps us informed of the happenings around the area.
A Remnant Cake from Candy Haven
My family has been enjoying this strange looking but GREAT tasting treat for years – we even prefer it over the conventional cake and enjoy it for all family birthdays.
Carol Roberts, CPA in Cross Roads
A ‘numbers’ gal that understands you might not necessarily get it, but she teaches and explains as she goes along.
Bill’s Garage in Ponder
Great mechanic that takes the fear out of bringing your car in. Honest, quick and a pleasure to deal with.
Café China
An egg roll worth waiting five years for – aren’t we all glad Peiling came back?!
Trucks with the name Sinocola
Construction on University Drive is moving at such wonderful speed, where were you when The Loop needed you?
RV Que in Krum
Some really good barbeque, just a little RV and a couple of real championship pit masters.
Recycled Books
A quiet haven in Downtown Denton, grab a few literally treasures and cuddle up for an escape that can last hours.
Pumpkin Muffies
A delight and surprise at our Panera Bread. A just enough treat.
Music on the Downtown Square
I always take out-of-town visitors to see the beautiful area and the music addition is a special treat.
Krum
A community with heart, this small town brought Christmas to a five-year old girl in July. The love, kindness and giving nature of this town taught us all about reaching out and caring.
Beth Marie’s has TWO locations
Need we say more.
