242/365 I'm a Jag Fan

It's Tuesday and this photo was obviously not taken today.  My desperate late in the day shot was just plain bad, so I'm pulling one from last Friday night.  We are the Flower Mound Jaguars and these are varsity players with a move they do right before each kickoff.  The band plays as they move side to side in their circle.  Then they break and run toward the ball to kick off.  I love Friday night lights and I'll probably share a few other Jag scenes throughout the fall.

241/365 Time to Get Started Again

It's time to start mosaicing again now that there is the hope of cooler weather in the next couple weeks.  I work in the garage and the Texas temps have kept me from my mosaic fun.  I'm putting together an order for tiles, so was checking colors today.  Some of these plates may be used on mosaic crosses.

240/365 Repurpose

I'm not a big antique collector or anything, but I do enjoy when I find something old that I can use in a new way.  These are two old bobbins or spools that we have sitting on our mantel.  I sometimes use them as candlesticks.

239/365 Long Overdue

My husband, Gary, has been driving a pickup truck for 17 years.  It has served him well, and we will be keeping it, but it was definitely time for a new car for him to use for his long drive to work.  We picked up his car today, a spicy red Kia Forte 5-door (hatchback).

237/365 Coffee Bean Day


My husband, Gary, loves coffee.  He buys coffee beans that are green and roasts them the way he likes them.  It's a hobby he enjoys and while I'm not into the roasting, I do enjoy the fruits of Gary's hobby - some of the best coffee ever!  I do help a bit by going to the coffee bean store to pick up what Gary wants to roast next.  Today was bean day and when I was there, I went into the back room where they keep the many types of beans.  They come from various countries.  I really like the graphics on the burlap bags.   I'm including a second picture of our favorite coffee beans.  Isn't the bag pretty?
