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 [...]
Give while you shop
Posted by: moose845 on: November 14, 2008
With Christmas just around the corner and the news about the economy getting bleaker and bleaker, I thought I’d mention this site, http://www.igive.com/welcome/, to those of us who still have some shopping left to do.
You shop at name brand online stores at the Igive Mall and select your favorite cause (you can even add a new one). A [...]

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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
Playing with redwork
Posted by: moose845 on: May 4, 2008
I practised my red work this morning and did this floral design. It looks like art deco to me, and I’ve decided that I like this look. Kind of elegant but not too ornate.
We went out for lunch and then to Home Depot to pick up some screws to attach new knobs to the new wardrobe. [...]
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 [...]
Make this: #8 or I’ll do my part
Posted by: moose845 on: April 29, 2008
I’m not a rabid fanatic about any particular one of the latest causes in the news, but I do think I should do my part, however small or large that is, to keep the planet going for future generations. So I’ve decided to make my own bags to carry with me to the grocery store. As shoppers we receive over 10 billion [...]
What’s with fashion these days?
Posted by: moose845 on: April 20, 2008
I’m curious about today’s fashion. I’m looking for clothes for spring and summer, and I can’t find any shirt that isn’t a baby doll or that looks like a maternity top. And if that isn’t bad enough, half of them have ties in the back.
These are similar to what I found at Dillard’s, Penney’s and [...]

On Friday Roger suggested that we go to the Canton Trade Days on Saturday. For those of you who don’t know, one weekend every month Canton, Texas, turns into the biggest open-air trade days in the world with up to 7,000 vendors and as many as 300,000 visitors. First Monday Trade Days takes place Thursday through [...]

We had a fun time in Houston yesterday. We met up with our daughter, had breakfast, and then we went to the scuba expo. My husband picked up quite a bit of information on diving parks and resorts. He’s a dive instructor and dive master so he’s always looking for new places to go. Jenifer [...]
