  • Rothko Dedication

    A few weeks ago, we were honored to have a dedication of the Chuck and Kathleen Mullenweg Peace and Reflection Garden at Houston’s Rothko Chapel. I was asked to bring remarks just a few days before the event, and broke out in a cold sweat. Public speaking is not my forte. Well if you ask Continue reading

  • December

    Snow has started falling (on my blog), and I realized that December has just appeared out of nowhere!  I’m running so late on so many things.  Christmas cards, presents, the tree, plans for a graduation trip, hospital openings, the bits of pieces of homework that I have left…It’s enough to make a girl go batty!

  • Class of 1950

    I was thinking of my Gram a lot today, then a cousin sent this over. The picture is missing her infectious smile, but I love it all the same. I’d never seen it before, and am glad to have this opportunity. I hope that you enjoy it as much as I have. Continue reading

  • It’s been a while since I’ve done this

    So have some patience with me.  I figured that I’d try out my new batch photo editing software, so you’ll have to let me know how you like the watermarks.  In the meantime, I squeezed in a shoot at Union Hill Cemetery in Georgetown, TX, at the beginning of March when all the wildflowers were Continue reading

  • Happy Valentine’s to me!

    I thought y’all would enjoy this.  I’d like to point out that the person that gave me the phalaenopsis was so confident in my ability to kill an orchid that they gave it to me in a reusable container! 😀 Happy Valentine’s Day!!! Update – and then I came home to these, which I was Continue reading

  • Funny post that you need to see

    Did you ever read the email story about the kid, the Chapstick and the cat? You know the one if you’ve seen it, in one of its five million iterations on the web.  I get it regularly as I struggle with my ongoing addiction to lip balm, as my friends think its funny to torture Continue reading
