Summer Weather in North Texas

Colby — Fri, 25 Jul 2008 04:50:21 +0000

If you don’t live in North Texas you probably won’t get this. It doesn’t matter how badly the good folks along the coast get pounded, somehow it just doesn’t make it up to North Texas.

It wasn’t me! I was the good kid. But I’ve known a few.

Oh sure, I got in trouble a couple of times for drawing pictures of my teachers.

Goals and Dreams

Don’t let other people spoil your spirit. If you set your mind to something and work hard you can achieve almost anything. On the other hand, some dreams require harder work than others. And then again, some dreams are just, well, dumb.

The never-ending quest for wisdom and the answers to universal mysteries continues. But sometimes seemingly perplexing questions are not all that tough after all.

Jim and Myrt

One of my sisters shared a photo of her father-in-law sitting in a pickup truck. I thought the photo was interesting so I decided to use it in a painting.

I felt Jim needed a dog so I added a likeness of Myrtle, a bassett hound we once had. She was with us for 18 years. I had to cover my eyes with sunglasses on the day she died.

The house they’re driving by is the one my grandmother was born in.
