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.

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.

Alligators in the back yard!

Since Hurricane Ike, we have had lots of alligators on the bank behind the house. Champion Lake had serge water in it. That means that Salty water is in the fresh water. The Refuge officers call it "Black Water". It is not good for the wildlike but kills the bad weed in the lake. We are lucky the lake was dry so the serge did not come up the bank.
