The Wall - Aug 9 '05 08:15:38 AM
Laying a foundation is not for the faint of heart nor the amateur. We were building this house in Texas by ourselves, but at least we knew when to seek expert help. We asked the...
Mildred's Message - Aug 8 '05 07:18:06 AM
Our neighbor Mildred passed away on a Sunday morning. We watched as the hearse coasted out of sight.  Mildred was ninety-one. Her husband, Ellis, is ninety. He had been...
Fireants: the Badge of Texas - Aug 7 '05 06:24:42 AM

Danger at the Post Office - Aug 6 '05 06:22:24 AM
Our big adventure – the move to East Texas – was bringing many reminders of the ways of a small town. The folks at the Post Office were beginning to know my face and could...
And Then the Rains Came - Aug 5 '05 07:02:08 AM
It never rains in July, we were told. Not in Texas, anyway. Thank goodness, we thought, as we started building our house. We would need plenty of dry days to drill down through...
Ambushing the Local Labor - Aug 4 '05 07:54:19 AM

Dirt Piles - Signs of Progress? - Aug 3 '05 05:34:12 AM
It must be a Texas thing to have a pile of dirt in your yard. Like having a trailer hitch shows the world you can haul stuff, a pile of dirt indicates ongoing progress. This is...
Breaking Ground With Beer-Drinking 'Dozer Drivers - Aug 2 '05 07:03:59 AM

Everything IS Big In Texas - Aug 1 '05 06:51:29 AM

Don't Bug Me - Jul 31 '05 07:27:57 AM

Cinderella's Bonus Room - Jul 30 '05 10:25:47 AM

You From Around Here? - Jul 27 '05 06:59:24 AM

Texas Outhouses: Storage Sheds - Jul 26 '05 07:05:41 AM

In Search of a Time Warp - Jul 16 '05 07:46:46 AM
