This Week at the Lease

We ran into town and I thought I’d share a short blog post by cell. I’ve loved having our own little humble abode. Each time I make the beds I start singing Daryl Lee Rush’s “White Trash Paradise.” Cody is in “paradise” with his buck that he got last night. For those who want to see pics, click here: http://www.jenkinsprojects.com/Deer/Deer11-12-09/index.html Things are looking good ’round here.. .

Flashback Friday: Tugboat Parade

Flashback Friday: Tugboat Parade

I mentioned the hot muggy weather when we were in Corpus last month when I took this picture. This is the tale of the absolute opposite weather in Corpus Christi.  Well, except that, it was as windy if not even windier.  It was the coldest day I ever remember in Corpus and Cody would agree.  I don’t think I have any pictures to mark the day- a day that would wind up a famous legend in our family.  One that has become a part of the...

In the Back

I was looking through some writing/blog  prompts today and one of them was “what’s in your car trunk?”.  Of course, we don’t have a trunk. . . we have trucks. And we now have two trucks which really seems to mirky the waters.  It’s difficult to remember which truck we’re in and what is in which truck.  We also need duplicates of things that we don’t have. In the back of the Ford?  The back seat is...

It Wouldn’t Hurt Nothing

It was several months after Kenny Chesney released his song “A Lot of Things Different” before I started painting the rooms in our house.  It’s something Cody knew I would do eventually and every time we’d hear this line in the song, he knew I was getting closer to painting. She wanted to paint our bedroom yellow and trim it in blues and greens But I wouldn’t let her, it wouldn’t of hurt nothing I knew what...

October Began With A Trip Down South

October Began With A Trip Down South

We were just down there in July.  But when Coralyn told us that her brother passed away, we knew we’d make another trip down to Corpus Christi.  Cody says it totally messed up his average since before July, it had been a really long time since we were there.   It didn’t matter as we knew we needed to be there. Since I’ve become a Hotwire fan, I checked out Hotwire and found I could get a 4-star hotel in the waterside area...

About Me

Welcome! Hi all! I live in rural East Texas with my husband. I'm passionate about telling our everyday and rather ordinary story through words and pictures here on my blog and on my digitally scrapbooked pages. Geek. Creative. Problem Solver. Traditional. Introverted. Those are all words that you might use to describe me. I love to have fun while stilling keeping it calm and simple.

My thoughts

I find that I experience things through the lens of the camera- so I snap away. I have lots of shots from places that don't tell much of a story- other than we were there and we saw it, it was beautiful. To me, those pictures are meant for photo albums. I can spend time telling other stories that are more important. Why waste my time saying, we saw it and it was beautiful or different? I will often include a a few pages in my albums about a trip- a few that tell of particularly meaningful moments and then an overview page. The rest of the pictures are perfect for photo albums.

The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make his face to shine upon you and be gracious to you; the Lord lift up his countenance upon you and give you peace. Numbers 6:24-26
