Those pesky clothes

Tuesday, August 22nd, 2006

This picture of my Dad arrived in my inbox this morning.  How perfect after yesterday’s post about cowboys.  My Dad has been a photographer for as long as I can remember.  He used to teach it exclusively, but now he teaches graphic arts and multi-media.

Am I the only person out there that loves to read cowboy books?  I don’t mean cheesy cowboy romance novels, or anything like that.  I mean full-on cowboy books, the kind written by Larry McMurtry.  Have you read his Lonesome Dove books?  I can’t even remember how many times I’ve read “Lonesome Dove”.  I’m a sucker for a [...]

My Grandma sent me [...]

It was 1999 and I had been living back at home for about a year.  I liked to describe my life as being sunny after being dark for so long.  I was happy and secure and since I was back living at home, I was surrounded by love for the first time in a while.
