Foto Friday: Guadalupe River Reflections
I leave you this Friday with a picture of the Guadalupe River in Texas Hill Country taken a couple of summers ago. It was the backdrop for a wedding I shot with Christine. TGIF y’all!! Have a great weekend!
Train Ride, Photo Sessions & Fish Stew
Another weekend has come and gone, another recap… Good Friday – Kenny had the day off and I took the afternoon off so we could spend the day together. After a doctor’s appointment for myself, we headed to Hermann Park for a train ride, stopped at the lake to dip our feet (it was a […]
More allergies, a wedding & painted churches
Eep – it’s almost time for yet another weekend (4-day weekend for me & Kenny, yay!) but I still want to give you a brief update on last weekend… Friday: Nothing exciting to report. 🙂 Saturday: Obedience class for Rosie (she did OK), quick stop at Camera Co/op to buy a new camera bag then […]
Paradise Found: Caye Caulker, Belize
I am already thinking of our summer vacation – 2 months away!! Ack! It will be my 3rd, Kenny’s 2nd and our friends’ 1st trip to this little tropical paradise called Caye Caulker. From Wikipedia: Caye Caulker is a small limestone coral island off the coast of Belize in the Caribbean Sea measuring about 5 […]
Shopping, work, birthday & allergies
Friday: No plans so spent the evening running shopping errands with Kenny. Saturday: We had Rosie’s obedience class then I ran out to West Houston for the grand opening of Texas Children’s Hospital West Campus. My company is providing the foods services there so I helped out at the tent we had set-up at the […]
Review: The Dogs of Babel
The Dogs of Babel by Carolyn Parkhurst My rating: 4 of 5 stars This was a super quick read (took me a week) after taking forever on my last book. A unique take on a tragic love story with a sub-plot diversion. Very well written, very introspective. Narrator and main character Paul was very well […]
Home Tour, Galas & Weeding
Hello readers. I am suffering badly from allergies today so please excuse me as I sniffle and sneeze through this entry (*achoo*). Spring is such a mixed blessing… pretty flowers, good weather coupled with miserable, miserable allergies. *achoo* *sniff* (my friend Melissa posted this on twitter yesterday and it summed up my feelings perfectly) But […]
Foto Friday #2: Eiffel Tower
It had always been a dream of mine to spend Christmas in Paris and one year when I suggested it to Kenny he responded with “Why don’t we do it this year?”. So in December of 2004 we flew over and spent the holidays in that beautiful city! It was not my first time in […]
R.I.P. Louis Alten
Last week a friend of ours passed away after a tragic skiing accident. Louis had grown up skiing and was experienced, it was simply a freak accident with no explanation. No blame to be had by anyone. It has made me more contemplative than usual though. He was only 39, 6 months younger than my […]
Review: Looking for Jake: Stories
Looking for Jake: Stories by China Miéville My rating: 3 of 5 stars I came into this book not really knowing Mieville’s style. These stories were all dark and several had a post-apocalyptic feel. Not necessarily a feel-good series of short-stories but not all books should be. Since the subject was not light and airy […]
