My dad was not an educated man. He quit school at an early age to help support his family. His family called him Oliver, but most people knew him as Pat. He was smart and was an inventor of sorts. He created many gadgets of which most of them actually worked!

Sometimes the best thing you can do for yourself and your sanity is to escape into solitude – even if only for a short while. I have been struggling lately with finding any alone time. I am either doing something for other people, have plans with the family or husband, or there just is not enough time left in the day to focus on myself. Some might find it odd, but I need a day – or two – every now and again to allow my self to decompress and reconnect with myself.

It’s that time of year again which I always find a little bitter sweet. The end of another Olney ISD school year. May is the busiest time of year for me. Very hectic. Lots of banquets and ceremonies. I enjoy taking photos for as many end-of-year events as I can. I just really love showing off these Cubs because they work so hard and deserve all the recognition they can get.
