Blast from the Past

This summer I got a new scanner/copier/printer so I played with it and well here are some old photos. Scary I know, but they are here for everyone to laugh at.

My Dad's 39th Birthday



Easter some year in Germany


Grand Canyon just a little bit from my home.







My favorite pic! It was when my daddy returned from Turkey.
My 22nd birthday with my siblings






My handsome daddy in flannel and me in flannel. I like 'borrowing' his flannel shirts



Hunting with my uncle

The MK

The Military/Missionary Child

I am a child of the military/mission.

My hometown is nowhere, my friends are everywhere.

My home is where my heart and family are,

My roots grow as deep and strong as the might oak.

Travel has taught me to be open, shaking hands with the universe

I find brotherhood and strength in everyone I meet.

Leaving is never easy, yet even in sadness comes the strength and ability to face tomorrow with eagerness and hope.

Friendships are formed in hours and kept for decades I will never grow up with the same friends, yet I will never be alone

Be it inevitable that our paths will part, there is constant hope that we will meet again.

Pix from the Greenhouse

This summer I played in the greenhouse here at College of the Ozarks. Here are some of my favorite shots from my little excursion.

Always On Time



I have been working for a wonderful couple since last October. They really look out for me and take of me. Work is relaxing and is not too taxing for me. Oh! I sell watches at a new tourist attraction called the Branson Landing. It has helped to revive Old Downtown Branson. Here are some photos of one of the carts I work at. We have two down at the landing opposite ends (it is a mile long).











This is Bob. I wonder if my sister will recognize him working with me at the watch cart?

Farm Pics

I was just driving one day and here are my pics of what I saw. They seem so comforting to me.

Stain Glass

I started a new job at school. I am no longer in the kitchen. I work in the stain glass studio. I love this new job, but that may be because I like working with my hands. Here are a few of my first projects.







This is another night light, but it has the wax setting on it.


These pieces are all cut and scored and are in the process of being ground so it can fit together.



This is the same project. Well, I am doing two of them at once. This is what it glass fitting together looks like. Then I have a couple more things to do to get the finished projects up above.

I have decided that when I get my own house that I want a craft room and a workshop so I can continue with my many hobbies.
