  •     1. Max can still run…when he's motivated.  Can you see the deer standing in the middle of the road? What about the big grin on his face, laughing at the silly puppies who think they can catch him?  (Me, either, but I'm sure he is!) 2. Real Estate License Adventure Countdown: 5 classes…

  • The golden moments in the stream of life rush past us, and we see nothing but sand; the angels come to visit us, and we only know them when they are gone. ~George Eliot   These days, more than ever, I'm trying stay focused on the minute I'm standing in…to not let my mind replay…

  •   I hate to wish time away, but this has been a long, tiring week, and I'm glad to be on the other side of it, with two more real estate classes behind me. Four down, two to go. Then the BIG TEST.     I missed four morning walks in a row! I felt…

  • We've been on a rollercoaster ride with my parents the past two days…my sister, Brenda, on the front lines with them, dealing with EMS and emergency rooms…me on the receiving end of texts and phone updates from her.   It started yesterday, when Daddy apparently had a mini-stroke. The sweet! of it is he made…

  •   I'm so grateful my friend Lisa asked me to take some photos of her colts last year, and that I went kind of crazy, snapping away at all of the horses in the pasture, because on Tuesday I was Huffington Post's Featured Fifty Fine Artist, all because of that beautiful horse up there. That…

  • 1. I kept forgetting today was Friday. It just felt like a Saturday. Does that happen to you?Okay, now I'll get on with the update…    2. For the first time in two or three years, my crape myrtles are sprouting buds. Except for snapping this photo, I'm trying to ignore them. I get this…

  •   I'm not sure if Max was mad at me for sleeping in, or if he thought it was already too hot, but Monday morning there was nothing I could do to coax that old dog to go for a walk with me. It hurt my feelings, because I didn't have time Saturday or Sunday…

  •    Strong lager and some early Zep tunes.  I ask thee, is there a better way to spend an evening?  ~Author Unknown Well, I wasn't drinking strong lager, and they weren't early Zep tunes, but I did spend a great Wednesday evening listening to rock and blues, watching the sun go down in Austin's Zilker…
