Fess Up Right Now: Have You Ever Owned a Gold Swan Faucet? If So, You Will Love This House…

By Candy Evans / April 5, 2012 /

If I fib, my daughter usually rats me out so yes, I confess, had a gold swan faucet in our Park Lane house all through the 1990’s. There — I do feel better. It was in my master bath tub. The faucets were goobly gah gold, too. They came with the house– OK, it’s Lent. I lied. I paid good, hard money for them and had them installed. Jeeze, is this confession or something?

By Candy Evans / April 4, 2012 /

I will just lay it right out: David Griffin and Keith Cox are two of my most favorite people in the world.

What Basement Were You In Today? Dallas Real Estate Tornado News

By Candy Evans / April 3, 2012 /

I’m not talking about showing homes, I mean, where did you run for safety when the tornado sirens started blaring? I was out driving, looking at homes — OMG I’ve got the scoop on 4511 Watauga coming up, Jeeze Louise 13,000 square feet and another double-level closet! What is it with these two story master closets? My daughter texts me that there are tornadoes, my husband tells me everyone at Presbyterian has gone to the basement! So I drive home to our tornado closet, stopping to warn every yard man I could! There were two men in a tree, chopping wood, and I thought, my God, they will be blown away! Our yard men were on the mowers with ear protectors on, I had to flag them down and drag them into our garage while I made room in the storm closet. The way it is now, our junk will survive a tornado while we are blown away! I hope others of you were in more elegant locations. Like Doris Jacobs: she was lunching at the Mansion, and everyone ran down to the Mansion basement for cover. (The wine cellar is down there, too, hmmm.) Remind me to schedule lunch with Doris at the Mansion or Fearings next time a storm rolls into town.
