About Me

My photo
I live close to Houston, TX in a cypress swamp. I love the cypress trees, the frogs croaking in the evening, and the beautiful green color of the trees in the hot summer. I have 2 children, Allyson, 31 and Chris, 28. They both live nearby so we are a very close family. Ally is an insurance agent and Chris works at the Houston Zoo in the bird department. He is the supervisor of his area. I have 2 grand babies, Kahner Ray Krengle and Garrett Alexander Krengle. Kahner is very special and whatever Kahner wants Kahner gets from his Nana. Kevin is my son-in-law who I adore and love very much. I am married to Dr. Gary Holmes. He is an administrator for the LaPorte ISD. He, also, is an adjunct prof at UHCL. I love almost everything to do with nature and the arts.

Thanksgiving with Family

We had a very nice Thanksgiving. I ate with my Family. Nancy, Jimmy, Haley, Linsi, Matt, Allyson, Kahner, Chris, and Mother and Daddy. Mother fixed her really good cornbread dressing with all the fixings. I baked a spice pumpkin cake. Jimmy fixed the most yummy Turkey on the planet. It was soooo good. We all had a good time talking and catching up.

Gary had Thanksgiving with his Family. Me and the kids went back and forth from Sheppard's to Holmes's. I was pretty tired by the end of the day. Holmes's had ribs and fixings. I fixed lemon bars for their feast with a salad. Gary's Dad was very weak and did not feel well. Kahner really enjoyed playing with his little cousin Gracie. She is just a few months older. All of Gary's brothers came and their wives and children. The only one missing was Maggie.

I am very Thankful for my family. All of my Family. I am especially thankful for my loving husband and my children and grandchildren. God is good.

NCBS Bird Show, Lansing, MI




I went to the NCBS Bird Show with Debbie E. this past week. It was a lot of fun and always learn alot when I go to the National. The area was beautiful and too cold. Debbie and I traveled by car from Detroit to Lansing, MI. There were beautiful barns and pretty houses all the way there and back. I'm glad to be home but it is always nice to get away.




I bought 5 birds at the National and they are all doing well. Hopefully, they will produce nice little ones for next year shows. I will post pictures later.
