Travels with Howie

November 22,2011  60 degrees f.  4pm

Today marks the 48th anniversary of President Kennedy being shot.  What stuns me is that I can remember it like it was yesterday. This may be a sign of old age because although I can remember something that happened 48 years ago, I can't remember erasing some pictures that I planned to use on this post. 


Lori took us through her office building

 which is a beautiful old building in downtown Fort Worth but when I was downloading the pics from that day, I just stupidly neglected to push the save button. Gone.  I hope I can sweet talk my way into another tour if I can apologize enough for the mistake.

Meanwhile, Howie has been meeting some new friends at the dog park.  At first he stuck to the fence and looked petrified if another dog came up to  make friends.  He likes people 

but scared of other dogs.  There were some cute doggies there.

Know the difference between a French and an English bulldog?  Me either but take your choice here, there is one each.

There were three varieties of oak trees in the park but look at the different sizes of acorns.  The largest one is called a Burr Acorn.  It would take a pretty good sized squirrel to take that up to his nest.

The dogs behaved beautifully...Neil....not so much.

I wrote before about the old county courthouses where the road goes around the building. Weatherford, the town where we are staying, has some cool stores on the square.  This one I thought was a bread store because it is called Two Heels and a Loafer, but come to find out, it is a shoe store.  

Like the name Hair on the Square.

In the event you have a diseased ankle, there is a foot and ankle specialist.  Never heard of an ankle specialist before.

And if you are not too fussy about your cook, you can get some bread at the Bimbo Bakery.

Actually, Bimbo bakeries are a huge corporation and sell bread under many names, some which you may recognize,(Arnold, Sara Lee, Entermans etc.) but do not have the unfortunate meaning that Bimbo has in the US.

We went to Fry's the other day to buy a simple little thing for the computer and look a the size of this store that has only electronics.  Needle in a haystack.

I hate the looks of this building..It is purposely made to look like it is going to fall over.  Imagine being in this building when a tornado is foretasted....It might blow it straight!

I am in desperate need of cribbage lessons, otherwise I am going to have to buy some larger sized hats for Neil.
