Dallas, Texas


This morning Dave ran (yes literally ran) to Home Depot and got supplies to hang the new flat screen TV.  After his return we worked on it till 2 p.m. and finally got it hung.  Good Job Dave!  After we left the camp ground we drove through Dallas.  We went by the by spot where President JFK was assassinated.  We saw the window on the 6Th floor where Lee Harvey Oswald sat and fired that fatal shot.  We also saw the 2 X's on the ground which mark the 2 spots where JFK was hit.  JFK was shot 7 years before I was born, but I could still feel a swell in my throat when I drove on the same road that ended the life of  our 35 Th President.  It was such a devastating thing to happen to such a great man.
We are now staying at Lake Bob Sandlin State Park
.  We drove in at night so could not see the whole campground, but it looks really great.  
Thought of the day:  Patience is definitely a gift from God, but you have to ask for it 
to get it.   It's much harder to use than to lose, and once it is lost it is hard to find. Patience is also easier to use if you have practiced it.  You would think that in a small space things would be easier to find but patience is much harder!  I guess what I am trying to say is that I have asked for God to grant me the gift of Patience because I keep seeming to lose mine.
