I too can remember exactly how I heard the news about JFK's assassination. My mother interrupted my sister and me as we were doing our homework to tell us, and next day almost everyone I overheard in town was talking about it.Perpetuahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01214396019726161983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1579555037165364084.post-7323414995421322932013-11-05T17:29:45.087-08:002013-11-05T17:29:45.087-08:00They are beautiful photographs, aren't they? ...They are beautiful photographs, aren't they?

The rug actually has two faces on it, the other being Robert Kennedy. I just arranged it this way and showed JFK because of the 50 anniversary. Curiosity made me look at the price, I think it was around $90. How interesting that you have a collection of Kennedy memorabilia - perhaps you could show some on your blog this month? My only piece is a pencil with Jackie in her pink suit on it, bought at the Texas Book Depository...Patriciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11685403215601517267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1579555037165364084.post-65458972985001016432013-11-05T03:13:00.803-08:002013-11-05T03:13:00.803-08:00Looks like you had a great time.

I still have quite a large collection of Kennedy memorabilia, from a previous time in my life when I was fascinated by the Kennedys. ( The collection is packed up in a suitcase in our cellar in France ! ) I used to have a rug just like that. I sold it years ago for about $100 ( US.) I'd be interested to know how much it would be worth now....possibly lots more, with the 50th anniversary coming up, but also possibly much less, as I think the bottom fell out of the collectibles market over here ( UK) when he recession hit Europe. People don't really need JFK rugs ! fascinating though.

The info. you had on Ansel Adams was so interesting to me, as I love Photography. He has taken some amazing pictures. I especially love the snow-capped mountains. I'm so glad you got to spend time with your son. Spending time with family is special.<br /><br />Have a blessed week, my friend.<br /><br />Love,<br />~SheriRed Rose Alleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02685747099912989862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1579555037165364084.post-27659877915145623632013-11-04T06:14:58.485-08:002013-11-04T06:14:58.485-08:00That looks like a splendid trip Patricia and loved...That looks like a splendid trip Patricia and loved hearing about Ansel Adams.
