A bit of Vegas
Posted by: moose845 on: March 5, 2009
I’m trying to get all caught up at work before we leave for Vegas. I’m putting together an awards banquet on March 27th—the Friday after we get back—so I’m trying to get every possible thing done before we take off. So far, so good. I have a student who works for me, and I’m leaving her with [...]
Today’s my birthday & here’s a gift for you!
Posted by: moose845 on: January 31, 2009
Today’s my birthday! No, I’m not telling you how old I am. Here’s a gift for you to help me celebrate! You can download it from the box on the right. I’m not sure what we’re going to do today. I’ll keep you posted.
Until next time!
It always happens

As you know, Roger left town last weekend for a week in Las Vegas and a week in Reno. No, he’s not there trying to add to our retirement or gambling it away. He’s gone to a week long scuba convention in Vegas, and he’s attending a work meeting in Reno.
I’d like to know why [...]
Time flies…

I’ve been missing…again! Where to start?
We found out that our dog, Hemi, had oral malignant melanoma. We took him in to get his teeth cleaned, and the vet found a mass in the back of his throat. Fortunately, the vet school here at Texas A&M thinks they removed the whole mass during surgery; however, oral melanoma is [...]
Where does the time go?
Posted by: moose845 on: September 7, 2008
Where have I been? Well, where to start? ‘Little girl’ got sick so we had to keep her isolated from the three boys, which wasn’t easy. The vet thought it was probably a bronchial infection, but because she came out of a Houston shelter it could possibly have been kennel cough or distemper. Hemi, the big [...]
A few days of vacation
Posted by: moose845 on: July 31, 2008
Both Michell and Jenifer are coming next week so I’m taking the week off from work. I’ve spent this week catching up and getting some projects done before I’m off. I have a student that works for me, but I didn’t want to leave her with a ton of work to do. Summer finals are [...]
Lost in thought

Karen, a friend I met through the Sew Forum, asked me to help her with a design to put on a shirt for her son. After a few tweaks here and there, here’s the final product. Cute don’t you think? Okay, probably not cute. We’ll go with funny. Karen’s son would probably never wear this shirt again if [...]
I’m still here
Posted by: moose845 on: July 18, 2008
I’m still here! We started painting our house two weeks ago, and it’s slow going. The cleaning, the taping, the trim work, more taping, the walls, cleaning the brushes, removing the tape. My mother and sister helped us do the kitchen, the breakfast room, and the hall. It took us four days to do these rooms. [...]
Here’s something I did today
Posted by: moose845 on: June 28, 2008
I wanted to try digitizing an outline using different colors. Is this also called redwork? I picked this simple design. It was easy! I sewed these out and they both look great.
It didn’t take me all day to do these two designs. I started a few more, deleted quite a few. But I also changed the sheets, did the laundry, washed the [...]
Look what I found!
Posted by: moose845 on: June 26, 2008
I was cleaning out files on my laptop this evening, and I found this design I digitized some time ago. I redid it this evening. I deleted quite a few of my earlier designs tonight, but I found a few that aren’t too bad and salvageable with some tweaking. I’m embarrassed to admit it, but I think I submitted this one [...]
Keep this under your hat
Posted by: moose845 on: June 18, 2008
I’ll let you in on this little secret. I’ve posted this set of hats to download. Now I’ve got to go and draw up a design that someone has requested.
Until next time!
Back to work…again
Posted by: moose845 on: June 9, 2008
It’s Monday again. I got to work this morning and my mouse wouldn’t work. I banged it around quite a bit, and it still didn’t see things my way. Come to find out, it just needed a new battery, but there were no batteries in the supply cabinet. I made the rounds of my co-workers [...]
I love that washer & dryer!
Posted by: moose845 on: June 7, 2008
My new Maytag Epic washer and dryer were installed this past Thursday. Maytag recommends that you use the new “high-efficiency” detergent in these so I had to make a run to Target to get some. The washer uses very little water; in fact, I can hardly see any water in the tub when it’s washing. I [...]
Happy Anniversary, Roger!
Posted by: moose845 on: May 31, 2008
Roger and I celebrated our anniversary on May 24th. We’ve been married 33 years. Is that too long? I ask because we didn’t give each other diamond rings, roses, a cruise, a romantic weekend; we didn’t go out for a romantic dinner or a night of dancing.
He gave me a new washer, and I gave him [...]
Coughing, sniffling & sneezing
Posted by: moose845 on: May 21, 2008
I’m still feeling crummy. I’m obviously allergic to something that’s blooming, but I don’t know what it is. Hopefully, it’s not some of the flowers I just planted in my yard.
I finished my antibiotic so my entire head no longer feels like it’s going to explode, but my nose is red from all the sneezing and blowing. [...]
