It’s nice to have friends in high places…or friends who attend the annual ACL Music Festival. The giveaways there are fabulous. I got a Paste magazine containing a free CD sampler of 21 songs and 20 free songs to download from i-Tunes, and of course the giant SweetLeaf cup for savoring double doses of their […]
Saturday I attended a workshop at Ten Seconds Studio given by assemblage artist Michael deMeng, and this is the transformed cigar box I brought home with me. (When I visited his web site today I was shocked to see that my piece vaguely resembled his….I didn’t plan it that way.) It’s the first art class […]
Another reason to hate commuting….
I had to buy a new set of tires for my car this week. Oh, the joy of sacrificing $500 to the gods of goodyear and attending services at Discount Tires for an hour waiting for four worn (forlorn) black rubber donuts to be removed from my car and to […]
A Fork-tailed Bush Katydid I spied in the grass. I don’t know if it’s lost its wings or if they’ve yet to grow. And a song from World War I to go with it Here
It was a good week for spotting new critters. Monday night my co-worker and I spotted three, yes three! […]
I’ve been working on another web project this weekend, as well as working on the bathroom (it’s getting closer to being done!) I did an inventory on an old cemetery in 1993 for a history project in college and I want to get the info online for any genealogists out there who might need it. […]
Here’s the side of an old building in downtown McKinney with modern plumbing attached. Isn’t there a better way to do this?
I’ve been spending a lot of time on my genealogy page. Now that I’m able to put whatever I want on the web I seem to be overwhelmed with project ideas. Well, really they’re […]
It may seem that I’m not doing anything, but I am. Really I am……
I downloaded a free demo of “Reunion”, a software program for genealogists. I have tons of notes from my mom’s side of the family; a lot less from my dad’s side, but it’s one of the many projects I want to work […]
Here’s my first “official” post to my new blog. I’ve been giving myself a crash course in HTML & CSS, as well as in WordPress, to get this thing running. Even though WordPress hasn’t been too difficult I still have a lot to learn. So bear with me when some odd-looking layouts appear as […]

It’s finally feeling like summer. It hasn’t rained in almost a week (was beginning to think I lived in Seattle again!) and the temperature is inching up towards 100 degrees. It’s mighty late for summer to just be starting.
Yesterday was one of those fine days that makes me happy to be outdoors. The ground had […]
