Wine Snoots

L'Chayim!

I have been known to enjoy a glass of wine occasionally.  On stressful days unfortunately, I have been known to enjoy a glass of wine frequently.  The key words and tags for this blog post might be "Wine", "Enjoy", "Moderation", etc. but I have no call to be preachy with anyone.

BB, Henri and me will spend the 4th of July in Beautiful Georgetown Tx, at San Gabriel Park.  Happy 4th of July everyone! 

The Time I Stole a Discus!

Growing up, our parents were always telling us what we should and should not do, and reinforced those admonitions with sayings that still rattle around in my head to this day.  Sayings like "Don't cross your eyes, Paul. They'll get stuck that way!" and "Don't swallow those watermelon seeds.  They'll grow in your stomach."    Not only did you get plenty of rules at home, you got a fair share of rules given to you at church. 

Come on over. We'll have a cup of coffee, and a game of SKIP JACK!

At home, growing up in Camp Wood, Mom and Dad always had the coffee pot on, and friends and relatives dropped by often to have a cup, set on the porch, puff on cigarettes, discuss the local events, and marvel at the strange things that happened in far off places, like Uvalde and Rocksprings, or even way off down to old Hondo. 

The BEST Job I Ever Had!

Back in an earlier post, I promised that I would tell you a couple of stories that came to my feeble mind at that time: 1) the story about my big brother, septic tanks and dynamite; and 2) the story about the best job I ever had! 

I actually got around to following through on story #1, (much to my Brother's dismay), but have neglected to live up to my promise on story # 2.  So here goes. 

Christmas and West Texas - 2011

After the brutal heat of Summer 2011 finally broke, BB, Henri and me ventured back into the trailer and combined Christmas with a West Texas Trip.
