Sunday, we attended the 60th<\/sup> surprise birthday party for a friend who was a long-time neighbor when I was growing up. Marsha Howse Scott attended Azle HS and was in the band with me, Judy, and Kathryn. The party was organized by her two daughters and held at the Fort Worth Botanical Gardens. It was fun to visit with the Howse family who lived across the street from my parents for many years.<\/p>\n Jiggs Howse<\/p><\/div>\n Bob Howse<\/p><\/div>\n Delaina, Marsha’s baby sister.<\/p><\/div>\n Marsha and her two daughters<\/p><\/div>\n I picked Josie up at Love Field on Tuesday around noon. We went to the Bush Museum, which was a first for me. It\u2019s a good place to visit. Afterwards, we grabbed a late lunch before starting back to Fort Worth. We drove through downtown Dallas, through Dealey Plaza, and the Kennedy Assassination site. I\u2019m trying out a lot of tourist sites on Josie for visitors who might come through DFW from China over the next few years. We finished off the day at Sundance Square.<\/p>\n Today, we visited the Amon Carter Museum across the street, and then walked through the 7th<\/sup> Street area. Later in the day, we went the Central Market to shop for some specialty food items. Josie wanted to find a few things to give us a \u201ctaste of London\u201d, her hometown. She found what she needed and we headed home for our \u201cEnglish\u201d experience lunch.<\/p>\n We finished the day with trip over to the Grand Prairie Premium Outlets. Josie is a shopper and needed a few things to take back to China she couldn\u2019t find in El Paso. We made plans for a FW Segway tour tomorrow morning, and the Dallas Cowboys last pre-season game tomorrow night. I\u2019ve never attended a Cowboys game in AT&T Stadium.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" We still have no news on our China shipment. Guess I\u2019ll have to get back in touch with our LA contact. Based on the timeline we got from her, it should have been here already.
