eat sushi

I've never been to eat sushi.

My husband has recently fallen in love with it and is now wanting me to try it! I did find out that not all sushi is raw. In fact, "sushi" just means the way the rice is packed/wrapped up. I was told there is some with cooked fish or with avocado. These both sound good, especially the salmon. I also was told that it doesn't smell fishy!

The Christmas Capital of Texas

I've never been to the Christmas Capital of Texas.

I learned today that Grapevine, TX is the Christmas Capital of the state. The have activities every night through Dec. 22. These activities range from a train ride on the North Pole express-complete with caroling, story tellig and candy-to the decorated hotels and malls to indoor snow and ice sculptures. You can even ride down an ice slide!

Metro Park

I've never been to Metro Park.

This is apparently a very cool store in our local mall. I was talking to one of the college girls and she was telling me to check out this store. I don't know for sure what all they have. I think they have bags and other accessories. And I'm pretty sure she told me they carry Ed Hardy products. But what I want to check out for sure is the sale rack towards the back of the store!

Cape Sagres

I've never been to Cape Sagres.

This point in Portugal is the edge of Europe. In Columbus' day, it was thought by those living there to be the end of the world. In the 1500's it was the site of Prince Henry the Navigator's school where men came to learn sailing, map making and navigating. Today, visitors can see what is left of Prince Henry's school; a large circle which may have been used as a wind compass to learn the direction the wind was blowing, or perhaps a tool for celestial navigation.

computer repair shop

I've never been to a computer repair shop.

My husband took my daughter's laptop in this week to a computer repair shop. The internal circuit board is shorted out. It is not worth repairing. The owner said he'd buy it for parts. He would only give us $20 for it. I think we should check out wholesale electronics to see about getting her a new one.

star cinema grill

I've never been to the Star Cinema Grill.

This is a special movie theater with a special menu. It is like a movie theater only you have tables built into your seat. You can order from a special menu that includes appetizers, entrees, sides, snacks and desserts. You can push a light to call your waiter any time. No children under five are allowed in the theater and no children or teens are allowed without a parent. They show new releases and tonight they even showed a local NFL football game on the big screen!

buying fruit trees

I've never been to buy fruit trees.

When we bought this house, the back yard contained several non-fruit bearing pear trees. I find that to be a real waste. I'd love to have some trees that actually bore fruit. We have talked about getting a lemon tree. I don't know how hard it is to maintain fruit trees but I wouldn't mind giving it a try. When the weather warms up there may be a possibility of looking more seriously into getting some kind of fruit or nut trees. The lemon is one I'd like to try. My neighbor has banana trees. My friend suggested blueberry bushes. Or maybe blackberry. I'd never even considered Mulberry trees. But I'd be willing to try any where we could eat the fruit!
