December 21, 2020 - In 1975 I built a gun shop in Lumberton, Texas. It was located on busy Highway 96...the perfect location for the people on their way to and from work at Beaumont’s Chemical plants. That year I also took some night courses at Lamar University to work towards my Master's Degree.

Willie came this morning to do some painting for us. He arrived at 8:00 sharp as he always does but his 20-year-old helper came dragging up an hour late with his hands in his pockets and mumbling excuses.

It was not until Pam escorted me into Wal-Mart yesterday that I knew we were planting a garden this fall. Suddenly she began cramming plants into the buggy …broccoli, Brussels sprouts, spinach…and mustard seed…. I should have known when she had that recent conversation with her dad about his garden, this was bound to happen!
September 7, 2020 - I photographed this beautiful Painted Bunting for two consecutive years. I named him “Spot,” and after meeting ..and feeding him…for those years in The Sand Hills of East Texas near Center, Texas, he would flutter above my head while I fed him his millet. I wrote several stories about watching him when he returned from Central America every year. But he didn’t return the third time.
