Red Fred

It’s Snowing!!!!!!

We have a precious video of Christopher when it snowed in San Antonio in 1985. He woke up that morning in January and looked out the window. I had put music on the movie and I had forgotten about the original sound track. When I heard his voice saying “It’s snowing” I thought that little

Wine & Art (but mostly wine)

See the itty bitty paintings on the table? No? Well me neither. See the BIG BOLD paintings on the easels! At the sixth annual Wine & Art Festival last week (January 15, 2011) I donated five paintings. Tiny by comparison….and I did not have chance to have them blessed by the Pope! I wonder if

Hear Me Roar

Dog Days of Winter

Tina, Dena, BV, the princess, Macaroni and the Labs, Bear and Lil Yellow came out yesterday for a fun photo shoot. It was overcast and a little chilly, but we warmed up fast. Getting through the gate where the ponies are was a little intimidating. It took a little while to get over the problem

The Fun Workplace

I thought that we had the perfect place to play around with art and digital photography. We can see the cardinals and other birds right outside the window, as well as our horses and longhorns peering in at us and pleading for breakfast every morning. Just ideal…..I did not see how cluttered and limited the
