I-45 North to Dallas.

Follow the signs to go on  I-35E North (towards Denton)  
   <I believe you actually have to get onto I-30 West for a short spell to get there.>

About a half-hour or so north of downtown Dallas on I-35E, take Exit # 450 (Business 
TX-121).  

Turn RIGHT on Business TX-121. (Towards McKinney/The Colony...Away from DFW 
Airport)

Five miles or so later you come to The Colony. At the fifth or sixth light
Turn LEFT on PAIGE ROAD (Big Home Depot store on the corner)

Go down PAIGE, through one four-way stop until it dead-ends into NORTH COLONY 
BLVD.  

Turn RIGHT on NORTH COLONY BLVD

Take an IMMEDIATE LEFT onto SQUIRES DRIVE

After a half-mile or so SQUIRES will make a big right-hand curve. 
After the big right-hand curve turn RIGHT on VANCE STREET
One block, turn LEFT on VADEN STREET

Third house on the left.  White brick, blue siding,  white columns on porch, hot-pink 
houseletters, big elm tree, Big redbud bush on one end of the house, medium redbud 
bush on the other side.  Crown-Vic and Red F-150 parked out front.

Shouldn't be a problem.  Got a couple of couches and comfy leather recliners available 
also.

All are doable.  I've been contemplating making my White Enchiladas...
