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.

14th Annual Canary and Finch Society Show 2009

Well, I attended and helped manage my first bird show of the season. I was secretary for the finch side of the show. Cecil Gunby was the judge. We had 129 birds and 8 exhibitors. I was able to get a few of my canaries together to show. I won 3rd and 4th best in type and best old variety. It was a good start to the season. Our club Canary and Finch Society had a great show and we all enjoyed it. It is alot of work but I think it's worth it. Although, I didn't get to watch the type and color canary judging, it was a success. Linda Hogan judged the type and Armando Lee judged the color. Julio V. won the best bird in show and the Dorothy Eggers Award.
