Zeitgeist, except a couple
Here’s an e-mail exchange with my brother. Robert Reynolds wrote: Have you ever seen this movie? http://www.zeitgeistmovie.com/ This guy does an EXCELLENT job of collecting information to illustrate what a lot of us already know. Definitely worth seeing. Don’t hesitate to skip forward to 9:00, though, because nothing really happens before then. Joy wrote: I […]
Four Letter Words
This is a rather dirty subject. I’ve been looking for a piece of property to buy. I want a nice place to live where I can grow some food and explore various other projects. One of the important factors in my search is the growing conditions, the biggest being the soil. What I noticed was […]
A Little Water, A Little Electricity
I got a fun toy yesterday. Steve and I are working hard on his house to prepare it for sale. (Know anyone who wants a house in Corpus Christi?) We have to paint the outside, so I bought something I can always use: a pressure washer. I got an electric one since I don’t want […]
Stars In My Eyes
Can you grow older and still remain a kid? What do you lose as you gain height? Thanks to Amy Kelberlau, her kids, and her grandkids.
Look what the cat dragged in
You never know what those outdoor cats will pick up and bring home. But Skyler and Grandpa Steve can make it fun.
Missing You
Most people like Christmas and being with their families. Well, Steve is not most people and neither am I. We’ll do fine without the Christmas part today, but we would prefer to be together. Here’s a little bit of remedy for the distance between Florida and Texas. There’s not much I can add to this […]
No Pie in the Sky
I made this pie today: Mystery Pecan Pie I wanted to say it is very good, but, well, it’s a mystery. I didn’t quite follow the recipe, since I had only dark corn syrup and no light syrup. I also added just a touch of lime to the cream cheese part and a small dollop […]
Decisions, or Not
I was listening to my brother David describe the details of embedding pipe stem in the concrete foundation of his workshop he’s about to build. I was about to ask him what happened if he decided to go with a different method of building the wall instead of the panels he has planned. Suddenly, I […]
Hair today, goon tomorrow
Who is that fine looking young man? Well, you might not recognize him, but it’s Steve, who mentioned a few days ago that he might cut his hair. When I got home, he had buzzed it off pretty short. Some people were shocked. Others really liked it. And couldn’t keep their hands off him! I […]
Magic Tricks
I’ve always been interested in magic. As a kid it was the sleight of hand sort. My mother bought me a box of magic tricks and I learned how to do most of them. I was never very good with the cards, though. It was really more interesting to me to know how the trick […]
What Do You See?
I’ve heard it said that you can find beauty anywhere you look. For the photographers of the world, that means there is a never-ending supply of pictures to take. Steve decided to go fishing in the bay, across the street. So I took the camera to see what I would see. The water is pretty […]
Water and Fire in the Sky
Yay! We finally got some rain here. We had puddles! The garden needed it, as did most everything. The timing was pretty good too. It didn’t rain on our parade, although it came down pretty hard earlier when we were out. So that left us with a humid, cloudy day. There wasn’t much to the […]
Blowing In The Wind
It’s been so windy here most of the time, but not when we are looking for it. By chance, we found a magic sign at the far end of park along the bay. With a lot of wind, it sounds like a flute (or maybe a recorder). So yesterday we took a walk to capture […]
Last Night’s Walk Along the Bay
We’ve found our way
The best we can
Now here we are
Twenty toes in the sand
Arm and arm
Side by side
Sun going down with the tide
The End of the Fish Tale
We had high hopes when we entered out Fish Tales piece in the exhibit at the Art Center in May. We really liked it, and it turned out that a lot of other people did too. We got over 10% of the total votes in the first few days. Then it sold, so no more […]
