Testing Out My Blogging Software

Posted in El Paso, Technology on February 9, 2010 | 2 Comments »

     My parsley has been growing all winter. I’m not bragging, I’m just saying.      This is a test post, really. A lot has happened to me technologically speaking since I took a break from blogging. The hard drive on my laptop crashed and I lost a lot of stuff, like Windows Live, which is [...]

The Bucket List: Gardening On The Cheap

Posted in El Paso, Gardening on June 13, 2009 | 14 Comments »

I’m always whining about gardening in El Paso and how difficult it’s been for me. So this year I resolved to have container gardens. Since money is tight I’m planting seeds. But I’m also looking for instant color, so I’m buying mostly annuals, which pretty much goes against everything I’ve ever believed in. I believe [...]

Postcard From My Neighborhood

Posted in El Paso on May 18, 2009 | 11 Comments »

This is my new Mexican prayer flag. At least I think that’s what it’s called.  It was my neighbor’s, but it blew into our yard and got caught in our pine tree. I was glad it happened. I’ve wanted one of these for the longest time. I never would have been able to get to [...]

Tuesday in El Paso

Posted in El Paso, magazines, tagged , on December 16, 2008 | 4 Comments »

  Does baking my own dog biscuits save money? I like to think so. But the star-shaped biscuits creep Timmy out.           We’re in technology hell, you guys, HELL. Our Time-Warner telephone and Internet has been cutting out on us for three months. Our phone goes dead and our Internet comes up blank THROUGHOUT [...]

Today In El Paso

Posted in El Paso on December 2, 2008 | 15 Comments »

  Well it’s December 2 and as warm as it’s been lately, I’m beginning to lose faith that my trash barrel zucchini plant will ever yield any actual zucchini. That’s what I get for shopping a 99-cent plant sale in October. Gardening here in El Paso is a bitch. For me, anyway. In other El [...]

Friday “SO FAR”?

Posted in El Paso, tagged on August 8, 2008 | 8 Comments »

I’ve been working this week, which is a drag because I took this job so I wouldn’t have to work. But I wanted to share this headline with you from Wednesday’s paper. I don’t know if the rest of the U.S. is aware of what’s going on here right over our border but it’s shocking. [...]

Yesterday’s Flood

Posted in El Paso, Video on July 27, 2008 | 11 Comments »

Reflection of a tree in a puddle on our patio. We got hit with the tail end of Hurricane Dolly yesterday. According to the El Paso Times we received 3-inches of rain in a matter of minutes — and I can totally testify to that. That’s the way it goes here in El Paso…you’re dry [...]

Don’t Know Much Geography

Posted in El Paso on July 24, 2008 | 15 Comments »

My sister called the other day to warn me there was a big storm expected in San Antonio. I had to tell her that El Paso is almost 600 miles from San Antonio. This is not unusual, most people back home don’t realize El Paso isn’t near anything. For instance, people often suggest we bop [...]

No Good Deed Goes Unpunished – A Mario Update

Posted in El Paso, Friends on July 22, 2008 | 8 Comments »

I went out my front door today — surprise surprise — and I was thrilled to see that last week’s flood gave our bushes a new lease on life. Look what all that water made them do! I got so excited, I stepped out into the street to take a couple shots from a different [...]

Update on Flash Flood

Posted in El Paso on July 9, 2008 | 9 Comments »

I didn’t want to leave off my last post with the water rising at our backdoor, in case anyone wondered if I got washed away while posting. I did not. Buck was coming home from work and was on the road during the flood, so I’ll hopefully be interviewing him later today about that experience. [...]
