Before I retired in 2008, I spent a great career growing bedding plants at Crump's Garden, a large greenhouse operation north of McKinney, Texas. That's me at left, during one of the holiday open houses we always had when the poinsettia crop was ready for delivery across North Texas.
Among my many interest are: camping, hiking, photography, archeaology, genealogy, astronomy, antiques, roses, cats, and cooking.
Please feel free to throw an email at me.
Buffalo have a very distinctive sound, which I doubt you have heard. To hear the sound, just click on the little image below:

The website for Ruckman Haus is still online, so you can see what it was like:
In 2017, Prudence realized another dream of her, to be the proprietor of an art gallery. She has long been interested in and a collector of fine art, and thought she could do a good job of representing various artists in San Antonio, displaying and selling their works. Art Gallery Prudencia is in its third year, and it, too, has a Website:

I have quite a few friends that I go hiking with. Here in July 1994 is a group of us guys on a float trip down the Colorado River below Hoover Dam. We rafted 4 hours through the Black Canyon and the water is a frigid 52 degrees, a real contrast to near 100 degress air temperature in July. It was an enjoyable side adventure on a trip to Las Vegas. I heartily recommend this trip which included lunch. My friend Mike is on the left, then myself, my close friend Ron D., and then two more friends of ours along on this trip- Ron M. and Chris.
To visit my friend Ron (the fellow in the center), click on him. Our good friend Mike died in a motorcycle accident on the morning of Setember 11, 2001. Click on him and you can see the Memorial Page that we created for him. Sadly, our friend Chris died on March 2, 2009, losing the fight with cancer. Click on Chris to see his Memorial Page.
Every day is a gift. Enjoy your friends and the day, I myself had a heart attack December 4, 2009. Thankfully, I'm feeling fine and still enjoying an active lifestyle including hiking and biking.
