Good Morning Kansas!
I can only think of a handful of things that can top a Kansas sunrise (or sunset).

35 and counting
What a grand weekend! And boy howdy did I take a bunch of pictures!
The milestone 35th reunion happened at Hays High School. Despite a losing effort for the current Indians on the football field (losing to Garden City), those of us alumni able to attend the homecoming and reunion had a fabulous time…not just one evening, but two!
Our class of 190-something produced about 45 of us over the weekend. We all showed up to enjoy ourselves, the time spent with good friends, and to poke fun at the aging habits a handful of us seem to be developing. Better yet, little grief was taken on the thinning noggin, chubby cheeks, and the mid-section bounce that seems to have graced my curb appeal. I guess it is what it is, huh?
I like rain
It has been a while since it last rained in Texas,. Now when it comes…quick, grab the camera. With lake levels down 25%-35%, it certainly is a recordable event these days….
And as the preacher said the other day: “Lord, please bring us rain. Not for me – I’ve seen it before…but for my grandkids please”.
Thanks God! The 1.4″ last Friday helped a bunch!
Then again Sunday you gave us another drink from the heavens, be it ever so brief and small, it was, nonetheless, welcomed!
This weekend is it!
Our 35th high school class reunion starts tomorrow and goes through the weekend…and look what I found in the back of my closet! Continue reading “This weekend is it!”
Weekly Photo Challenge: textured
Kettle enjoying
So it is that I got through the remainder of the pictures taken on the Canadian fishing trip last weekend. This was a really fun trip y’all. It is a time when all 3 sons got to spend some quality time together. Mostly, the three of us got to share the trip (and time) with Dad.
At this stage in each of our lives, we find ourselves pulling back together as a family. Our bonds seem to become stronger each time we are together. The joys, concerns, troubles, enjoyments, ribbings, teasings, adventures, journeys, trials, tribulations, risks, and sorrows we seem to share with each other more. What better people to share those with, than with family?

Hard boiled and hatched
Yesterday two things happened of any consequence. One was the last day of tax-free, back-to-school weekend bargains and the other was Hatch Chile – only the best chile out there – shopping day. But the chiles were NOT tax-free…a few were taxing on the taste buds however. Central Market was checked and OMG they had Hatch coming out there ears….
All the food photographed found its way into the shopping cart. Did I mention I love Hatch Chiles? I went crazy stupid on the photos, none of which I know will win an entry into Food magazine next month. But is it not interesting what all type of food can be prepared with the oh-so-versatile Hatch Chile? Continue reading “Hard boiled and hatched”

The Highland Village Lions Club Hot Air Balloon Festival on a hot Sunday morning.
Saturday weird and randoms
It’s been a day. Balloons in the morning, worked a Nursery/Landscape Expo convention in downtown Dallas (and rode the light rail to and from).

50 Landmarks for the bucket list
46 of which I have yet to see in person.
Hmmmm, I think I need a limit increase on the credit card if I decide to embark on some Waldo adventure any time soon.
SD odds and ends
Just a few random pictures to peruse of the left coast (San Diego) trip this week: Continue reading SD odds and ends
Happy Wedding
Long time, dear friends married off their oldest daughter tonight in an American ceremony laced beautifully with Japanese influences. We enjoyed the evening with the families at the Trammel and Margaret Crow Museum of Asian Art in Dallas.
Odd balling
Just a few odd and end pictures to digest
Scattershooting the Day
The day started at at 4am. Showered, shaved, dogs petted and feed, and out the door at 4:45.
Arrived at Terminal D parking and found a spot right away at area J5 (I tell you that mostly so I won’t forget where I parked).
Got through airport security without have a visual violation by the full body scan polaroid. Dang it…and I wore clean underwear just for those guys today.
Boarded the plane at 5:50. At 6:15 – our scheduled departure time – the captain comes over the PA mumbling something about a cooling fan for the navigation system was not working and the whole unit would need to be replaced…not once, but twice.
We pushed away from the gate at 8:00.
