Dinosaur Valley State Park Day Trip

2006-07-09T13:48:00.000-07:00

The following pictures are from yesterday's day trip to Dinosaur Valley State Park in Glen Rose, Texas. Click on the individual pictures to supersize them.

I still haven't figured out how they trained this dinosaur to stay inside this tiny little fence. . .

Don't let the pictures mislead you. This is not really a very good place for wading. The rocks are slippery and there are big rocks hidden by the not so clear water making it easy to stumble.

The picnic grounds are nice, as are the campsite areas.

As evening arrived, so did a doe with two little twin fawns. They walked up close to the picnic area. We weren't able to get a picture, but Tessa got a nice look at them.

Twelve Wonderful Years

2006-06-07T21:13:00.000-07:00

[Repost from Sunday June 4 - Necessitated by a template change]

Well, today is our twelfth wedding anniversary. I am a very blessed man! This first collage is of our first couple of years together.

And then came Parker . . .

And then Tessa . . .

And finally, Daniel and Gabriel Paige.

I have a wonderful loving wife, and the kids have an amazing mother.

I am looking forward to the next 12 years.

Every time I saw Wes Kenney's picture on his blog, I grew uncomfortable . . . there was something familiar about it but I just couldn't figure out what it was . . . .hmmmmm.

Aha! Got it. Check out the similarity between his picture (top) and a picture of me and my foster brother David which would probably have been about the same general time frame.

Visited States Map

I came across a "visited states" map while browsing the web and thought it might be fun to make one for myself. I have traveled through states other than those indicated below, but those in red are the ones that I have visited as a destination.

Is it just my imagination ...

or, do Gabriel Paige and the turtle have the exact same smile?

A Saturday without soccer . . .

2006-05-20T10:06:00.000-07:00

I almost feel guilty admitting to how good it felt this morning not to have to crawl out of bed and drag our four kids off to Soccer. Last Saturday was the last week for Spring Soccer. This was the first time we have had our kids involved in Upward Soccer. Wow, great program! Hulen Street Baptist Church is to be commended for all the work they put in to make the program so successful and God honoring.

The first two pictures are of Tessa with Coach Shay and Parker with Coach Curt. We are very pleased that our kids got to work with these two great leaders. The third picture is of Parker with his Buddy Ethan.

Daniel turned 2 years old this week.

HE NEEDS SOME WHEELS !!!!

As our kids get older, standing them in the corner doesn't work as well as it once did, so we have adopted new disciplinary procedures.

CLOSING SHOP

2006-05-02T18:22:00.000-07:00

For more than two decades I have been selling books. During some of those years I did it as a hobby. For more than a decade it was my main source of income. This last year I have been selling books mainly because it is something that I have done for most of my life.

That really isn't a good reason, and my time has become more valuable to me than the few dollars that I am making with the half-hearted effort I am putting into it.

So, . . . I am GOING OUT OF BUSINESS. I will be closing down my Ebay store sometime in the next few weeks. I have listed about 100 or so books this week as auctions, and will gradually sell off the rest of my inventory that way, as well.

So, you might want to check out my auctions. When I sell my books at auction there are invariably some things that sell for much more than what they should and other items that sell for pennies on the dollar, so use discernment and I think you will find a good bargain or two.

If you note an air of sadness, you are correct. This marks a pretty significant change for me, . . I will miss being The Bookman.
