Why, it's a major award!!!!

Several months ago, Aunt LovePicasso and Uncle Nonchalantsavant were trying to get me to enter some of my photographs into the creative arts contest at the State Fair of Texas. I promptly told them in my best imitation of Oda Mae, "Silly people." Most of the pictures I take are really pretty bad. Every once in a while I get a good shot via the gods of luck.

Last month I decided that I would humor them and go ahead and enter the fair's "pre-judged" photography contests. I already had a couple of pictures that I though were kind of nice and it was only $4.00 each to enter. What the heck. Lo and behold....I got a letter in the mail today telling me that I won 2nd place in the "Black and White: Texas Architectural/Features/Monuments/Buildings" category.

Here it is...


It will be on display until the end of the fair. I haven't been to the fair in years. I guess maybe I'll head over there this year and look at the other winners. Anyone who wants to come with us is welcome. We'll all get together and set a date to go out there. MMmmmmmm, fried things to eat......

The Dog Days of Summer

Well, summer is starting to come to an end. It's been VERY mild here in Texas. We didn't have 100 degree heat until just last week. This Texas boy has been very pleased with the weather this year!

Today was the first day of The Little Gym for the Fall semester. Guess that means that things are going to get back to normal. Yep, I'll start posting again. I just needed to take a little vacation. Me and Oda Mae, we had stuff to do. Oda Momma will be happy too. I don't think I've actually prepared more than 4 meals in the last month and a half. I'm not sure what we've been eating.

I'll let you know what we've been up too. All the good stuff is for another post on another day though. Just know that I'm still here, but I'd still rather be at the water park. It's gonna take some time to get back into the swing of things.

Here's a picture of Oda Mae on our DATE DAY. We went out to eat together and got a squishy ball from one of the machines behind her.
