Fishing Under the Bridge Buck Creek at Lake Ray Roberts, Texas It’s so hot in Texas, you can only fish if you can find some shade. We’ve only had a few days with 100 degree temps; but our “feels like” temperature has been at 105+ for several weeks. Needless to say, I was surprised to … Continue reading
I challenged myself to take a sunset photo every day on our road trip to Arkansas. The challenge turned out to be more difficult than I thought.

As an educator, I always dreaded award time. I knew the awards would make some happy and some sad. And I don’t think that’s what … Continue reading
We recently moved from one part of Texas to another. There’s only about 6 hours in distance form one area to the other; but there’s a world of differences.
