Gab and Glass: September 2011
http://sylvanlampworks.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
Monday, September 26, 2011. Queen of the Mountain! Marina," my modern comfort bike at the. Downtown pavilion overlooking the river. This morning I was celebrating that I had a day off with nowhere to go, except to a friend's house to feed her cat. I mused about taking a longer than normal weekend bike ride when Larry laughed and said, "Why don't you combine the two and ride your bike up to feed the cat? My initial response was "Not bloody likely! I hopped on my bike and immediately discovered a flat tire!

Tuesday, October 11, 2011. Nora gets a look at one of her "sisters," currently on display at KACC. A closeup of the palm frond accents. On the wheel of the art bike. Note the. Identical fins on Nora's wheel. SJ has incorporated everything from honeycomb and weathered wood to tomato cages and gourds into her works. It's an engaging, fun exhibit! The art bike is a 24" frame and Nora is a 26", but they're definitely the same year and model of bike! That's all I have for this afternoon! Fork Inn, Hunt. Free ...

Gab and Glass: May 2013

Wednesday, May 15, 2013. The Curious Case of the Funeral Photo. I love solving family mysteries! I think I may have missed my calling as a researcher. Most people enjoy hobbies like golfing or watercolor painting to pass their free time. I love spending my spare time staring at old microfiche machines, puzzling over old, forgotten photos and slogging through cemeteries, hot on the trail of a story that's been lost to the passage of time. A few of the mysteries I've solved are listed in earlier blogs: here.

Gab and Glass: July 2012
http://sylvanlampworks.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html
Tuesday, July 3, 2012. Fourth of July, Early 1900s. Joe Herring, Jr., a friend, fellow "history geek" and local columnist wrote about how Kerrville has celebrated the Fourth of July over the years. In last weekend's edition of the Daily Times he wrote, "In 1902, Kerrville enjoyed a grand celebration at the Kerrville Park, which I think was the old West Texas Fairgrounds." He went on to talk about the festivities that day. Looks like a a barbecue! When I read Joe's column this week I couldn't help but won...

Saturday, February 18, 2012. How did I get through the block, you ask? Well I enrolled in an Artist's Way group, it's like a 12-step program for blocked creatives. The group has been a very powerful experience for me both spiritually and creatively and I am so glad I joined up. I had been taking myself way too seriously and it was holding me back. So from here on out I promise to be nicer to myself and embrace the joy of creating instead of chasing perfection. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Chopper ...

Tuesday, January 15, 2013. The Curse of the Groundhog! I haven't written here in a while and decided it's beyond time to break my silence. Since I was doing a bit of research for Keri Wilt over at GrapeJuice about Kerrville's lone ground hog, I thought I'd share the story here, too. When the strange creature was caught, it was discovered to be a groundhog – definitely NOT a Kerr County native. Nobody could figure out how the animal got here. Unfortunately, the animal escaped from his cage and an “o...
