For years oceanographer Tony Amos kept a close eye on a 7.344-mile stretch of Mustang Island on the Texas coast.
His prime area of concern was the man-made debris that washes up on the beach and how it affects the wildlife and the environment. In a long ago article in Texas Parks and Wildlife Magazine, Amos shared some of his findings.
The Ceynowa household is attempting to clean out tons of papers and stuff. I tend to get bogged down in looking at old letters and cards. I spent Saturday afternoon reading a bag full of letters and cards from the seventies. I cried a bit and laughed some. I did manage to get rid to two bags of discards.

Is there such thing as having too many biscuit recipes? I didn’t think so! This recipe produces one of lightest, flakiest biscuits that you’ve ever drenched in gravy. As a matter of fact, you may want to hold the biscuits down so that they don’t float off your plate. This recipe also makes a BUNCH of biscuits; like 4 dozen, so you can really feed a crowd.
Our household is slowly returning to normal. John came home from the Rehabilitation Hospital on Friday. It is nice not to drive to San Antonio every other day. He is doing well but still has to regain strength.
