Braggin' Rights














Yesterday Bigfoot and I had the great experience of watching my son and daughter-in-law walk across the stage at Abilene Christian University to receive their diplomas. My daughter-in-law, Bethany, graduated Summa Cum Laude and University Honors with a 4.0 G.P.A. My son, Ben, graduated Magna Cum Laude and University Honors with a 3.92 G.P.A. Needless to say, I'm a very proud mom here on Mother's Day (And, yes, you will have to put up with some photos--coming soon).

Of course, when Bigfoot and I drive west we have to deny the urge to keep driving to the cabin. After all, by the time we're in Abilene we're a fourth of the way there!

Above are photos of some of the native flora around our North Central Texas house. We have about 3 acres and like to keep most of it wild (much to the neighbor's chagrin). I'm sorry the photo with me looks like I'm flippin' everyone off--that was completely unintentional. . .(Will someone please tell me how to get pictures to upload where I place the cursor and/or move them around within the text! They always go to the top of the post and will not budge, no matter what I do!)

About moving your pictures around. Next time you and BF are out here , bring you laptop, we'll get it straightened out.

Pictures look great, but it sure looks like a place to pickup some chigger bites. That was one of the things I didn't like about land in the DFW/East Texas area. Of course down here now its BUG city and hotter than heck!

I had the same problem with pictures on Blogger, I switched to EordPress and now they go where I place my cursor rather than all to the top of the page, its possible it was "user error" but I can work it on WordPress so I'm happy, but understand your frustration. Anyway, wherever they are your pictures always look great. Keep posting.
