Ann and By the Grace of Tea received a bit of press in Dallas News in an article about Rep. Ralph Hall of Rockwall, the oldest U.S. House member and the runoff for the 4th District, and his challenger, John Ratcliffe.

Two photos were used to illustrate an article about the two campaigning and their appearances at the Rockwall Founder’s Day Festival and our take-away was that politics can still be civil!
