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.

Hot Hot Summer


I'm just trying to get everything to survive this summer. It is so hot that Champion Lake behind us is drying up. We have not had our summer rains in the past 2 years.

A Long Illness with Recovery in Site


It's been a long 4 months. My Daddy has been ill with Acute Necrotic Pancreatitis. He went home just over 2 weeks ago. Mom, Nancy, and I have been taking care of him at the Hospitals in Houston, TX. I think he is on the mend. He couldn't eat for almost 3 months. He seems much better and stronger. I think he is just glad to be home, as is Mom.
