About Me
- lisashep
- 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.

February 2010
Kahner is 5 years old and Garrett is 1 year old. I cannot believe how quickly time is passing. I'm trying to enjoy every minute with the children. I haven't updated the blog in a long while. This year has started out very busy. It is a joy this year instead of being so sad and upset last year. I have been baby sitting the little boys and they are a pleasure. Kevin's Mom had surgery and I have been filling in for her.
In March, I will be volunteering once again at the Boy Scout Woods on High Island for Houston Audubon. I hope this year the woods will be full of birds and lots of birds on the rookery. Take time to enjoy the birds this Spring.

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.
