Roger is Mr. Wonderful!
Posted by: moose845 on: February 12, 2009
…and here’s why. He handed me this red box. An early Valentine’s present he said.
And here’s what was inside the red box.
This is called the celestial diamond necklace. It’s a depiction of The Pleiades, a constellation also known as the Seven Sisters. According to Greek mythology, when the sisters were pursued by Orion the Hunter, [...]
A trip to OKC
Posted by: moose845 on: February 9, 2009
Roger had to go to Oklahoma City, which gave me a perfect opportunity to go along to visit my family. My mom, Debbie and I made our usual shopping trips to Kohl’s, Ulta, TJ Maxx, and various other places. Although we have a Kohl’s in College Station, I feel like I find a better selection in the stores in [...]

My girls were home for a week. Actually, Jenifer was here for two as she’s on leave until she reports to her new duty station at the Port Arthur Marine Safety Office. We drove to Beaumont yesterday and helped her move into her new apartment. She isn’t scheduled to report for duty until the 24th, but she’s hoping if [...]
It always happens
Posted by: moose845 on: October 25, 2008
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 [...]
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 [...]

I’m back after a nice visit at home with Michell and Jenifer. They both left on Saturday…way too short a visit. We haven’t been together since Christmas, and with Jenifer leaving for Yorktown, Virginia, who knows when we’ll get together again. Michell’s planning a trip back at the end of October to go with me to [...]
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 [...]
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. [...]
I’ve been busy
Posted by: moose845 on: June 25, 2008
It’s been a while since I’ve been here. Where should I start? Last Saturday we drove to Post, Texas, which is just outside Lubbock, and almost a seven hour drive from home. We delivered Coco to her new family, who drove about the same distance from Albuquerque, New Mexico. Here are the last photos I took [...]
Family time
Posted by: moose845 on: June 3, 2008
I finally got my photos off my camera from my trip to Oklahoma over Memorial Day. It was a nice visit with family but, as usual, too short. Here’s a few photos that I took of my family.
This is Michell, my oldest daughter; Debbie, my older sister; and my mom at the Paseo Arts Festival. We [...]
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 [...]
I’m back among the living
Posted by: moose845 on: May 18, 2008
Roger and I worked in the yard the past few weekends, which aggravated my allergies that caused a bad, bad sinus infection. It’s been a while since I’ve had one that was this bad. The doctor prescribed a ton of medication so I feel like a zombie, but at least I can breathe again. And the yard looks nice.
I’m leaving [...]
Happy Mother’s Day!

Happy Mother’s Day!
Return to Canton!
Posted by: moose845 on: May 3, 2008
It’s the first weekend in May, and that means Trade Days in Canton. We had tentatively planned to go to Canton and meet up with friends from Dallas, but we never connected to make definite plans. Roger and I decided what the heck and just went anyway. As usual, we didn’t buy a lot, but we did find this wardrobe, and [...]
