Cindy's bugging me to post, so ......

Guess there has been a few things going on since my last post.  Here's a small sampling.

Somehow my baby brother is now 50 years old!

Here he is with a Sept 1959 copy of Playboy we

gave him.

In October we had the official dedication of our

new church building (which we moved into on

May 31) and the DeCuire Community Center.

In November the clan from Mom's side gathered at Leanna's for fabulous fellowship and amazing food!

Cindy and I took the ferry to Pt A and spent some quality time on the beach on our way over.

Cindy was quite the trooper, having started her 6 month endurance marathon with chemo.  She let me shave her head and then posed with one of her new head coverings.....which says it all!

And dear old Dad hit 80 on Dec 16.  We 

assembled a collection of photos, books, mags

from Dec of 1929.

Feeding Frenzy

God Help Me…I’ve got Vista!

My old HP finally gave up the ghost this week and my new Dell is in it’s place.  Fortunately, I had all of my photos and videos and lots of other important stuff backed up on an external hard drive and will be able to put it all on the Dell.  My email files are another story!  I’m slowly but surely pulling some of the newer and more important emails off the Embarqmail server but everything that I had in Outlook Express folders is lost, as is my address book.  But I have enough emails (down to 4500+ right now) to be able to rebuild the address book!

Camera Critters Sunday!

I've been running down this lane between our house and the church lately and this guy plus two friends (see my Gun Barrel City Daily Photo blog) have been watching me -- or at least I've been watching them! Friday I stopped to take their pictures and they immediately came to the fence to pose for close-ups!

See more friendly creatures HERE.

Ice gauge?

Who would have thought that turtles could enjoy winter weather? If I were them, I'd be tucking my head, feet and tail under a blanket by the fire! Oh wait...I AM!

Yesterday I would have caught them with icicles dripping off their noses but I spent the morning Dodging Daring Drivers in Dallas....today it's just fog and frost...and a balmy 26 degrees.
