it does look like the Howarts Express, doesn't it?
yes, & kids can go there for field trips for school. it's a fairly short ride from Fort Worth to Grapevine. if you want, we can shop at the Grapevine Mills Mall, or go to the Grapevine Opry - it's kinda like the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville, a live country music venue. there's no one performing at this hour, tho.

I'm backtracking, but wow, the Log Cabin Village at the Living History Museum is fascinating! Thank you for taking us there, Sarah!
I really enjoy traveling by train!

The Palace Theatre

Happy endings do occur outside the movies, but none happier than the one for the Palace Theatre, built in 1940. Oil baroness Mrs. R.L Slaughter (affectionately known as "Aunt Susie") bought and renovated the building for the Grapevine Opry. Now owned by the Grapevine Heritage Foundation, the building has been restored and is the home home of a wide variety of performing arts events, including the Grapevine Opry.

WOW! some of those pix are bigger than i expected!
That happens with me as well!
That happens sometimes, Laureen. Your pictures are great! Thank you!

Grapevine is about an hour's drive from Sanger. Fort Worth is anywhere from 45 minutes to an hour & a half, depending on where in Fort Worth you're going.

Oh, Good Morning, everyone!! Laureen, this is wonderful stuff! I wish I could take more time right now, but will come back later and read and drool. Meanwhile, as I tell the kitties, I'm off to catch mousies...will drop in around noon hour (which will be around two, Texas time) and see what you've been up to, and maybe get to spend some time with you. Have fun!
Hey! Susie's here!!!
Hi Susie! I really do have to run, but I'll be back!
