Jupiter House Java In Black And White

The recession has hit home to me now. It wasn’t enough that my favorite Starbucks Coffee Shop closed. I expected that. It was down in Colleyville, Texas … and there were four Starbucks within a mile of it (most of them located in grocer...
You Scream, I Scream, We All Scream For…
You might scream for “ice cream,” but I scream for Italian Ice — “gelato.” I know, I know. It ruins the rhyme. I’ve told you before that it’s not summer until my Italian Ice stand opens here in Denton. I w...
