We just got home from Dallas, Texas, where we attended our first Sport Show of the season. On the way down to Texas I stopped off in Oregon to see my Mom and Dad. We didn't do anything wildly exciting, but it's always fun to see the folks. We ate out....
Did some knitting and crocheting.....
And tied a comforter for one of the little greats.
And then, it was off to Dallas for the Sport Show. Here we are at one of the banquets...
The food was as delicious as it was beautiful!
While we were in Dallas we checked out the site of President Kennedy's assassination in Dealey Plaza. Here's the "grassy knoll"......
And here is the Book Depository. Lee Harvey Oswald shot the president from the second window down on the right. There is a cardboard box in the window to mark the spot. There is also a white "X" painted on the street to mark the spot where Kennedy was at the time of the shooting.
It was very interesting to see this area in person.
Now we are home and it has done nothing but rain since we got here. We are spending most of our time catching up on the mail and other business, but we did take out time to work on one little project.....We put in a new faucet!
Here is the old silver, leaky one....
l
And here is the new black, shiny one.....
I must say, it classes up the place, and it doesn't leak!
Thanks for helping me, Mr. Adams!
