ASL in TEXAS!

Okay, so this is my very first blog posting. Since I am not the "Techy" person, I had my daughter-in-law's sister do the techy stuff. She did an awesome job, eh? We'll work on pictures when we get home, K? Thank you thank you Angela!!!!

Anyway, we have been in Texas since last Thursday for an ASL District Convention of Jehovah's Witnesses. WOW! I am impressed by several things:
I actually understood it!
How much fun it is! (Especially in Texas with the Southern way of doing things-just showing us what their sign names are was a riot!)
People were SO helpful when I was in a fog trying to understand them.

Lots of new people. One brother in ASL for 5 months-way better than us! However, they have 20 deaf in their congregation. Reminded me of the International conventions because if we were in Walmart, saw someone signing (with or without a badge) you just KNEW they were Witnesses and went up and chat-chat-chat! AWESOME! Met so many new ones. (Gotta show ya one sister's shoes! WOW!

Jim and I have been to 4 convetions now, but this one REALLY explained it better than any, I have to say!

After the convention we went to the Stockyards in Dallas and the water fountains. Loved it, but my feet didn't! Long horn cattle walking down the street! And an "We're in jail" picture.

We are staying at a lovely family's home for the next two days. Where else but in Jehovah's organization would people take you into their home never having met you before!

So we head to Omaha either Weds or Thurs. Gotta see and touch those kids and grandkids!

Thanks again Angela! I'll get the knack to add pictures later.
