Brian Andreas and Story People

2009-05-20T04:25:00.000-07:00

"Everything changed the day he figured out there was exactly enough time for the important things in his life. "

I learned about Story People at a home that had prints posted throught the lovely house. Next, I found two prints for my self at a ridiculously low price at our Habitat for Humanity resale shop, The Village Store. Since then I've subscribed to their daily emailings and enjoy the humor and the drawings. I've given prints for gifts. I never tire of Brian Andreas' musings.

Glory and Praise

2009-05-17T04:13:00.000-07:00

In the 80's I purchased the recordings of all the Glory and Praise Hymns and played them when I was working around the house. I don't believe they are used so much today but this was one of my favorites that I was able to find on line.

Just below is the Hymn, On Eagle's Wings which was played at my Daddy's memorial service. I didn't realize until I came across it that today is the anniversary of his peaceful passing in his sleep in 1983. It was quite touching to hear and see this video as the sun was coming up over my shoulder.

My first slide show

2009-05-02T05:49:00.000-07:00

I had taken a video of the cutest little goat at one of the places where I work. After I uploaded from my camera it was missing:( So I put together some of my photos from the last few days and added some music from some CD's I'm uploading. Here's the result:) I guess it should be titled Things I like about my work

Big Excitement in Wimberley Square

2009-05-01T06:16:00.000-07:00

So there was a big traffic jam going past the town square. It wasn't Market Days. Well here's what we all saw......(by the way no one was harmed during the making of this event, just extremely surprised.) It was a new way to have a town gathering at the Wiumberley Cafe.

THE WIND

I would be

What would be?

I would be wind ...

To be free ...

To touch you

And you embrace

E, mansinho

You reach me

And you whisper

How like you ...

And slowly

Slowly

Would you toying

And you might notice

I was there ...

The wind

Grew

And even with force

I would like to be ...

To see

The strength that I have ...

Wind strength

Wind Typhoon

And I ...

Have you ...

Always in my hand.

This beautiful poem was just a comment from the blogsite llinked here.
I can see why she leaves her poetry as her commentary.

RAW! YUM!

2009-04-27T04:53:00.000-07:00

Since Miss Wendlette introduced me to RAW recipes I've been wondering why anyone ever decided to cook anything. Below see a few of the beautiful and mouth watering dishes we've prepared. Also pictured are a few of the essential condiments. Yum yummy yum.

Prayer for Success

2009-04-26T18:08:00.000-07:00

I bought this framed print at our Senior Citizens Resale Shop.
If you click the picture to enlsrge it, you'll se that it was written by Robert Louis Stevenson during his time in Samoa. I think it's pretty neat.

The Corral Theater

2009-04-26T08:43:00.000-07:00

Someone asked me recently if our little town had a movie theater. It only has the BEST movie theater I've ever had the pleasure to attend. We have the luxury of viewing first run movies in the comfort some of the freshest air in the country and under the starry Texas sky. Families bring lounge chairs, blankets, snacks and strollers. If you don't want to bring all that with you there is a snack stand and chairs and bleachers are available. Below find a link to their glitzy website and my own photos of this whimsical phenom:

Boober, my new Virtual Pet

2009-03-11T19:06:00.000-07:00

As if I need any more pets, virtual ore otherwise. I saw a little spider spinning a web on another blog and discovered I could have my own. Right click and you can enlarge or other things. Click more and he'll catch insects. All this due to living in Austin. Maybe I could install my own virtual bat bridge. Give the little guy a poke and he'll perform for you.....

Oxymoron: Fish Foot Spa

2008-07-25T06:43:00.000-07:00

Some people get a major case of the creeps over the thought of those mystery "thingies" deep sown in natural bodies of water that might come up and "get" you. Robin and I are two of them. Here is a definite angst-inspiring link to a Fish Foot Spa. ick ick icky ick ick..... There is a place in Alexandria , VA. that gives Fish Pedicures in a foot bath. Doctor Fish apparently EAT, eat?, the dead skin off your feet while you wait. I can't go on!

The Amazing Robocut for Pets

2008-07-24T18:30:00.000-07:00

Today the Model R39: "Plug and Play" Automatic RoboCut Vacuum Haircutter arrived. It is like a red and black FloBee with a vacuum cleaner already attached to it. DH says it looks like a Yugoslavian vacuum cleaner. Maybe I should have bought a YUGO instead. It would have cost the same. To save $$$ I'd been hacking away at GinGin's fur and she looked like Beaver Cleaver did when he cut his own hair. Soooooo...I went online and ordered the RoboCut. Gin actually seemed to enjoy it and now looks much smaller, leaner, cooler and cuter. Next I think I'll try it on me. Maybe I'll look much smaller, leaner, cooler and cuter. Flanagan was in a grizzly humor when I tried it on him, so I think I'll have to trick him.
