Nothing earth shattering here.  Probably most of you know about and have visited Joe T. Garcia’s Mexican restaurant in Fort Worth.  But, on our recent day trip to Cowtown (to see the Indiana Jones Archeology Exhibition), we took advantage of the opportunity to visit this legendary restaurant.  We enjoyed it so much – we thought […]

To say that there are Indiana Jones fans in our household would be an understatement.  A “Remember when?” story around holiday meals often brings to mind when the entire family waited in a line that stretched around the theater (even with pre-bought tickets) to see the first movie.

Where the West Begins -Fort Worth, Texas.  This interesting city is an unusual mixture of cowboys and culture. The tour of Fort Worth with Rose-Mary Rumbley and the Allen Retired Teachers Association was enjoyable and informative.

Getting to go to Fort Worth is exciting.  Getting to go to Forth Worth and visit with my dear friend Jorene is fantastic.  We talk and talk and never tire of talking. On this day, we shopped Old Home Supply House – “Fort Worth’s Restoration Headquarters”.  Sweet Mother of Pearl.  I love this place.  Old Home […]
