Junior Brings Home the Gold
Junior Baca did us all proud when he placed first in the 800 meter run at the UIL state track meet in Austin last week. Of course, Junior also had a good year in football this past season, but he is also talented on the track, and this was his turn to shine as an...
Reading to My Mother
Reading has always been a part of my life. My maternal grandmother made up stories and also read to me. Mother read bedtime stories and listened to my prayers as a nightly ritual growing up. I read many Golden Books, as well as others, to my children as they grew up....
Hunger Games vs. The Lucky One
Last Sunday while making the car happy again, 1010 miles this time, and making myself happy viewing and taking yet more wildflower pictures… I had the chance to do something else I like to do but haven’t done much lately-go to the show. As in moving picture show. Or...
Aggie Muster
One of Texas A&M University’s finest traditions is Aggie Muster, held each year on April 21st. This year we, along with J.D. Cage ‘61 and his t-sip (Texas) wife Julie, class of ‘65, attended Muster in Plainview with the Plainview A&M Club. For those of...
Let’s Put Some Miles on the Car!

Cactus Flowers
Other than those I imported from Wyoming, my cold hardy cactus aren’t blooming yet. Making buds, but no blooms. That happens in May. But look at all the color going on inside the greenhouse: I snuck in a shot of Black&White Kitty just to see if you were paying...
Prime Time Pornography
I made the mistake of tuning into CBS for distraction the other day when I walked on the treadmill due to bad weather outside. I should have known better, as I had seen bits and pieces of their Monday night line-up before when looking for something to watch and was...
Nature’s First Green Really is Gold
Now don’t panic-I’m not putting you through an English lesson on poetry-and we could look at this one on several levels, but Robert Frost said it best when he wrote “Nature’s first green is gold/Her hardest hue to hold.” We drove down to the Texas Hill Country for our...
Dreary Saturday Blues
Pity Party Central here. B.B. King is wailing about the “Stormy Monday Blues,” and as much as I like B.B. King, Bobby Bland does that particular song better. The sky is overcast and gray, as it has been for several days, the wind is still blowing, the...
