Interesting.... I don't know who's photos are showing to the right. They are pretty good, but they're not mine.
Anyway, I rarely ever update this blog. I think I may just shut it down & continue on using google+. At least I update it more frequently than this. You can find the link to my google+ page here.

Can't sleep. Starting to feel old & crusty.

At least the kids go back to school today.

2011-06-28T23:51:00.000-05:00

I know.... I know.....
I haven't posted anything in quite a while. Between work, the flooding, the storms & just life in general I haven't had much time to sit down & post anything. So, here it is... We are finally moving out of our house & heading to Eldorado. It will be nice to have some room to stretch and even nicer to finally sit down & eat a meal at the dinner table. Tristan is looking forward to going to a new school. Hopefully it will all work out.

Happy Mother's Day!

Decisions....decisions.....
On the verge of losing the house to water.
Thinking there's more repair costs than I can immediately afford.
Is it time to move & find something bigger & drier or stay & go broke repairing a house that's too small.
I have no idea of what to do anymore.

This month has been hell!
Wet, miserable hell!

Save Those Boxtops

Gallatin County students have been very busy collecting Box Tops for Education from various household products. Thus far, their efforts have netted $260.00. Please continue to cut box tops and send them to school as students would love to reach their goal of $500.00 by the end of the school year. Mrs. Galt’s first grade class is pictured with the Box Tops collection box and the $260.00 check

... and so, Derek popped the question.

2010-12-06T08:27:00.002-06:00

OK..... I'm really feeling old now. If it isn't bad enough that Tristan has taken up drinking coffee. Yesterday, I had to show him how to shave.

2010-12-05T12:01:00.000-06:00

Well, I think it's about time to make this my official website. I'm getting tired of paying for Zenfolio. I was hoping to eventually sell some of my photos... but, after several years, it doesn't seem like it's gonna happen. Anyway... Enjoy!

2010-10-01T08:10:00.002-05:00

Weeeeeeeee... It's Friday!

Sorry for the crappy quality. I realized that I hadn't taken/posted a photo today and had to resort to using my cellphone.

Well, it's 2008....
Time for a new years resolution. I think I found one that I can hopefully stick with.
I will try to post at least 1 photo every day for the rest of the year. Of course, i've already screwed up on the first day by taking no photos what so ever...... so, I will start this on 1/2/08.

Wish me luck!
