Pooch Friendly Patios in the Palm Springs area!

Kathy does a marvelous presentation with even better information for pooch people!  Thank You, Kathy!  I really appreciate this info to pass along for pet owners.  Some of these patios are unbelievably amazing, as well! Like at Citron at Viceroy, and Lulu.  If you haven't tried them, you owe it to yourself, and your pooch.  Just be careful, protect your pet and HAVE FUN!!!!

The Palm Springs area is famous for their patios and al fresco dining- - our balmy desert nites and bright sunny days make outdoor dining delightful, even in the winter.  We are lucky to have so many options available for patio dining... and these restaurants are also pet friendly!

Have you ever met a trail mix you didn't like?

Many places have them these days:  

Trader Joe's

Costco

Sprouts

...and so on.

I took a little test drive this week....combining a few favorite ingredients...spruced it up with some Easter M&M's.

Wasn't quite all that I thought it would be...something was still missing.  :(

Next time I think I will add dried cranberries or banana chips.

What's in your favorite mix?

Good Eats in Sugar Land, TX

Bernadette has my mouth watering! 

She was featured today on Active Rain and that's how I found her blog post.

CONGRATS Again, Bernadette!

 

If you make it to Sugar Land, Texas, sounds like a fun/yummy place to try!

 

Via Bernadette A. James, e-Pro, SFR Keller Williams Realty SW (Serving Sugar Land, Missouri City, Richmond and Pearland):

Good Eats in Sugar Land, TX 

Good Eats in Sugar Land, Tx is plentiful. One of my family's favorites is Skeeters Mesquite Grill at 16535 Lexington, across from First Colony Mall. My family has been enjoying their mesquite grilled burgers, Sunday breakfast buffet and $3 margaritas for a number of years. The writing on the wall of the establishment says it all. "Skeeter's .....It's a Neighborhood Thang". It's the truth.

 Skeeters Collage

Whenever you visit Skeeter's be prepared to run into either a neighbor, classmate, friend or past client. After your first visit, I guarantee that you will return over and over again. The food is good, reasonably priced and the portions are just right. The burgers are the star of the show. There are skeeterburgers, cheeseburgers, blue cheese burgers, guacamole burgers (my fave), tacos, healthy salads, etc...  Then, there are the $3 margaritas that are available all day.  Mmmm! Delicious!

Families, the young and the young-at-heart, are welcome at Skeeter's.  Each table is covered with brown paper and a cup of crayons is within easy reach. The kiddos are encouraged to let their inner artist shine through. They may even be lucky enough to have their art tacked to the wall. Thursday night is karaoke night. Think you can sing? Get up there and do your thing.

 Skeeters Mesquite Grill

Skeeters is one example of the eating places in Sugar Land. Even if you choose to visit them on a Friday or Saturday night the service is fast, the food is good.  I'll certainly profile a few of the diverse eating places around Sugar Land. Good eats are alive and well in Sugar Land, TX. Enough said.
