<p>[QUOTE=&quot;The Penny Lady®, post: 2033744, member: 16948&quot;]As I’ve mentioned in previous Houston show reports, the folks who put on the Houston Money Show work so very hard to make sure everything is done right and everyone is happy, even walking around from table to table to see if they could help or improve things.&nbsp; They also do a heck of a job advertising the show with both radio and television commercials.&nbsp; In spite of all this, I can’t say the show is a gangbuster show, but it is definitely steady and worthwhile for me to keep returning.</p><p><br /></p><p>So as usual, the night before my flight, I organize all my paperwork and coins, both slabbed and raw.&nbsp; But now with my new little kitty, Penny, I get extra “help” during this process!</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2014%2012%20Houston/IMG_8232_zps6ab91df5.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2014%2012%20Houston/IMG_8230_zps13dce927.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>The day before I left Orange County, we finally got some much needed rainstorms and I would have liked to be home in front of a cozy fire hearing the pitter patter of the rain outside because it had been so long since I heard that sound!&nbsp; On Wednesday morning, it was still raining when I boarded my flight.&nbsp; So I said good-bye to rainy Southern California….</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2014%2012%20Houston/IMG_8264_zpsb985d44e.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>And hello to warm sunny Houston!</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2014%2012%20Houston/IMG_8265_zpsd8e1fbc9.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2014%2012%20Houston/IMG_8266_zps7351ff77.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2014%2012%20Houston/IMG_8269_zps1fdd4cb3.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2014%2012%20Houston/IMG_8267_zps7ee04947.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>After I settled in, I had a bite to eat with some friends at Pappasito’s Cantina (related to the Pappadeaux’s Seafood restaurant chain), which is the great new Mexican restaurant in the hotel.&nbsp; Then I had a glass of wine at the beautiful hotel bar and called it a day.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2014%2012%20Houston/IMG_8272_zps738c5b4c.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2014%2012%20Houston/IMG_8271_zps199b1ae8.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I headed over to the convention center the next morning.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2014%2012%20Houston/IMG_8320_zps7220387c.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2014%2012%20Houston/IMG_8319_zpseee95e7d.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Unfortunately, there were a lot of construction cones around the convention center, which probably meant it was going to be inconvenient for the public to finding decent parking.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2014%2012%20Houston/IMG_8318_zpsfdcdeb09.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2014%2012%20Houston/IMG_8321_zpsd22c4204.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2014%2012%20Houston/IMG_8322_zpsf6a86b2f.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2014%2012%20Houston/IMG_8323_zpseace2424.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
