Our Favorites



When we return to Edmonds on Tuesday evening, we will have been gone exactly 21 days. Whew! Of the ~1,000 photos we took, we found we had almost none of ourselves together. This one was at Daddy Jack's Seafood Restaurant in downtown Ft. Worth.

It went very fast! Thanks for the comment, Janelli. We've had fun, and yes, we're kindred spirits. It was VERY HARD to drive down the coastal highway out of Fulton toward the airport in Corpus and know it was the last time. Boo hoo.

Nancy!!! Hi! I love Ft. Worth. You picked one of the best cities in the USA. The museums are outstanding and Sundance Square is so much fun. There used to be a rooftop Cactus Garden for drinks and a night club , and I can't remember the name right now. We went to see Stephane Grappelli. Great jazz.
