Photo Christmas Ornaments

I collected some of my favorite images from the past several years and printed them fairly large. Then I mounted them on foam core and cut them out on the jigsaw. I'm pretty pleased with it as it really makes the tree a great deal more personal.

House Update

2009-07-15T20:31:00.002-05:00

You may have seen several updates here regarding on ongoing updates to our house. We are happy to announce that we have now touched the last untouched room. Said room was previously known only as the warehouse as it contained a remarkable number of boxes and random furniture. Oh, and it had rose wall paper border and pink walls. Oh, and 300+ holes in the wall from the teenager who lived here before.

Here it is just before we purchased the house.

Here's the new and improved guest bedroom / craft room which we managed to complete a solid 36 hours before Taylor's arrival to visit.

John Kermit Van Zant (11/5/1915 - 5/1/2009)

2009-05-07T05:44:00.004-05:00

Rev. John Kermit Van Zant of Garland passed away Friday, May 1, 2009, in Dallas. The middle of nine children, he was born to John Lee and Essie Trueblood Van Zant on November 5, 1915, on the family farm near Everton, Arkansas.

After working on neighboring farms as a teen to help support his family and continue his education, he felt God’s call to become a Methodist minister. Against the odds, he worked numerous and varied jobs in order to attend college and seminary. He graduated from Hendrix College in 1942 and from Perkins School of Theology at SMU in 1945.

He began his ministry in Huntsville, Arkansas and served churches in the Dallas, Garland, Rowlett and Beaumont areas for many years as a pastor. Later, he taught Texas history for twenty years in Garland at Memorial Junior High School. In his retirement, he loved to garden and produced beautiful tomatoes to share with friends and family. An active member of the Garland Host Lion's Club, he particularly enjoyed their annual BBQ Chicken Day.

Rev. Van Zant was preceded in death by Mary Mildred Simpson Van Zant, his wife of 61 years, his parents, two sisters and five brothers. He is survived by his son Jim Van Zant and his wife Debbie, their children Kerry and Emily Van Zant, and by his daughter Sue Cox, her husband Ralph, their son David Cox and his wife Jennifer. Also surviving him are his sister Merle Phillips, sister-in-law Emeline Thaxton and a large extended family. Rev. Van Zant and his late wife were lovingly cared for during their last years by the staff at C.C. Young Methodist Home. All will remember him for his love of God, service to others and wonderful sense of humor.

Visitation will be Sunday, May 10, from 6-8 p.m. at Restland Memorial Park, 13005 Greenville Ave., Dallas. Funeral services are scheduled for Monday, May 11, at 1 p.m., at Restland's Wildwood Chapel.

There was apparently a big football game on recently on a Sunday. We took it as an opportunity to have a bunch of people over, set up a photo booth, do some gymnastics, and eat a bacon explosion.

Oh, and Bruce Springsteen has really sold out.

The Bacon Explosion under construction. For those who haven't heard, it consists of 2 pounds of bacon and 2 pounds of sausage. Oh, and it was really good.

The finished Bacon Explosion after being smoked over oak and apple wood and glazed with Stubbs and Honey.

I don't know how the gymnastics started. However, I did have a distinct feeling that it might not end well.

It didn't.
