The American Quarter Horse Association

September 6, 2010

At the beginning of August, my mom and brother came down for a little visit. There’s not a ton of things to do in this town, but there are some jewels, especially if you’re into horses – like me and my mom. When I moved to Amarillo about 8 years ago, they came down for [...]

My New Toy

September 5, 2010

I’ve been wanting to get a macro lens for quite some time now. None of my lens would really let me get close-up and they don’t give you that nice bokeh background (which I love). It’s either everything is in focus or everything behind what I want to be in focus is in focus. I [...]

A Landmark Lost: Farewell to the Admiral Twin Drive-In

September 3, 2010

Today an unfortunate incident occurred. The famous Admiral Twin Drive-In Theater burned down. The structure was wood, so the owner could not insure it. Today it went up in flames. Just this afternoon, however, a Facebook page to save the Admiral Twin has already been constructed and already has over 4700 fans. I remember going [...]

Nanna Turns 80

September 2, 2010

A couple of weekends ago I posted about the odd excursion to Kansas that me, my mom, son and brother took so that mom could buy a Jeep. Also, that weekend, the whole reason I went to Tulsa in the first place was for my grandma’s 80th birthday party. She’s had some health issues the [...]

The Crack of Dawn

September 1, 2010

Ever since TJ started going to his new school, he’s been getting up earlier and earlier every morning. I have no idea why. He goes to bed at the same time each night, maybe just a few minutes earlier. Last night he went to bed late even and today literally woke up just before the [...]

Summer Shots: Sweet Shot Tuesday

August 30, 2010

It seems that the summer is coming to an end. It has been a bit cooler around these parts, but you can still feel that an unbearably hot day is still a possibility. The theme over at I Heart Faces this week is photojournalism. I made this collage of portraits of TJ from each month [...]

I’m putting these two days together, as I didn’t have a chance to post last night. Here’s the rules: Day Three: “…love suffers long, and is kind…” 1 Cor. 13:4 “And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.”Phil. 4:19 Love indeed suffers long and is kind.

Day 2: Husband Encouragement Challenge

August 28, 2010

Today’s rules: “…through love serve one another.” Gal. 5:13b How did you do yesterday with your first day of blessing and encouraging your husband? Was it easy? Was it hard to hold your tongue when you wanted to say something negative? We hope you’re off to a good start. (If you blew it, don’t give [...]

30 Day Husband Encouragement Challenge Day 1

August 27, 2010

A friend of mine that I went to high school with has decided to take part in this 30 Day Husband Encouragement Challenge and I’ve decided to take part. If there’s anything that he needs, it’s a little encouragement and I’m actually reminded of this daily. Of course, he’s not going to know this is [...]

Perhaps the Best Daycare Ever

August 26, 2010

Although we do work from home, we decided about a year ago that it’s pretty imperative that TJ gets out and plays with other kids. Of course, at his age, the only real option for that is a babysitter, a Mother’s Day Out or a daycare. We actually had a great babysitter who had a [...]
