REVERSE Mardi Gras

Brr, that was a cold parade!

For those of you that braved the cold and came home with beads that you would like to re-home, we’re here for you! For the past two years, we have recycled beads and passed them on to be re-used the following year. We have bead collection trash barrels in front of these addresses:
405 S Clinton / 75208
1331 S Montreal / 75208
231 E Greenbriar / 75203

Please spread the word! If you know of an organization that would like to benefit from your recycling, please point them in our direction!

Also, I’m sure Davis and our neighborhood could use some love after this weekend’s shenanigans. Have you heard of #tenontues or #reverselitter? My three boys and I are committed to 2019, even if we forget on Tuesday, and pick up on Wednesday. We’ll walk Davis near Winnetka Heights this Tuesday to hunt for those missed beads. Maybe we’ll see you out there some Tuesday!

Keep Oak Cliff fun AND beautiful!

Dance all night! Run all morning! Catch some beads!

That’s basically your plan for this weekend, if you’re anywhere near Oak Cliff TX. It’s Mardi Gras, and we do it right in our little corner of Dallas.

The fanciest Oak Cliff event of the whole year is this Friday night, 7pm. The Masquerade Ball, complete with live band, dinner, and fun for hours, will be held at Cliff House for the first time. I’m getting my hair done at Sweet 200, nails at Pink Pedi, then throwing on my fave dancing shoes. Last I checked, there were a couple of tickets left…for you last minute party animals. I challenge you to a dance-off!

The next morning at 9am, rain or shine, we lace up our kicks and head down to Kidd Springs Park. The Dash for the Beads is a 1, 5, and 10k run that is one of this city’s hilliest! Personally, I’m a walker. But Val Haskell will be out there to win it (in her category). And the awesome running club from Hogg Elementary will warm your heart as they compete in their first ever Dash.

Sunday’s big question will be can Winnetka Heights retain their title in the Oak Cliff Mardi Gras Parade? Or will Kings Highway’s return to the float category be a a triumphant one? It will be neck-and-neck that’s for sure. Make your way toward West Davis just before 4pm to get the best viewing spots. As always, there will be fun activities in Bishop Arts District to follow.
Once this family-friendly Mardi Gras weekend ends, you can find bead-recycling stations at several locations (in case those 30 pounds of plastic don’t spark joy).

405 S Clinton / 75208
1331 S Montreal / 75208
231 E Greenbriar / 75203

We’ll be looking for you around the neighborhood this weekend! And laissez les bon temp rouler!

Thinking of OCNP and drier days with Miranda

I spend my time at OCNP when I need to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Riding my bike through the woods of OCNP provides a retreat that is close to home. You don’t feel like you’re in the heart of Dallas when you’re back there. I enjoy the different terrains, one minute you’re walking through prairie, and then you find yourself at the bottom of a creek crossing. Bike riding there can be challenging, but the challenge is worth it. OCNP is fun for the whole family.
