After the closure of Abuelo's last month, this month we reconvened at nearby "Tino's Too" just down the road in Plano. Everyone put their heads together and decided that at least for the time being we would continue to meet at Tino's with a slight modification to the scheduled day. Tino's Too is closed on Mondays so henceforth we will meet there at 11:30 am on the 13th of each month, or if the 13th falls on Saturday, Sunday, or Monday we will meet on the following Tuesday. We'll be in the room to the left as you come in the front door.

Our next meeting will be at "Tino's Too", 2205 K Avenue in Plano on Tuesday May 13, 2025. Please join us!

When you come to Texas, dress like a Texan! I think my boots may be just a tad bit large for him though!

Longhorn statues of a trail herd meander through downtown Dallas in Pioneer Plaza Park.

Next up was the site of the cattle drive in Pioneer Plaza Park just beside  Dallas City Hall. Here is Lucas dwarfed by the statue of the trail boss in Pioneer Plaza.

Of course we had to give the visitors the "cook's tour" of Dallas, and an early stop was the cabin in Founder's Plaza. John Neely Bryan, a colonist from Tennessee supposedly built the first "permanent" building in 1842 on the site which later became Dallas. This cabin represents those earliest settlers of Dallas.

Our nephew Kevin and his family paid us a visit in early January and brought this "Host Gift". Wow! A bottle of Sinaatra Select to add to my Jack Daniel's inventory! Y'all feel free to come visit anytime, Ya hear!
