Back in June, Hubby and I spent an afternoon in McKinney, TX. with our older daughter and her husband. Berta and I took off to do some things we wanted to do while leaving the guys to do things they wanted to do. First, we went to the Heard-Craig House … Continue reading →
I was taking photos of the fig tree and the peach tree, but what I got was an interesting study in perspective. From this perspective, it looks like I’m uphill from the house, but the land is level. I’m perplexed as to why the back porch looks like it’s … Continue reading →
