The Regal Snowy Egret of Texas
The Regal Snowy Egret of Texas
Who would have thought I’d have ever gotten into birding?! Slap a camera in my hands though and it’s on like Donkey Kong! Getting into photography has really opened my eyes to things I feel I took for granted before. Happy I’m learning more and opening my eyes to new experiences more often nowadays 🙂 …can we all sing kumbayah now:)
Such a beautiful bird!

American White Ibis (Found in Galveston State Park in Texas)
American White Ibis (Found in Galveston State Park in Texas)
Since I was in Galveston already on Saturday, I HAD to visit Galveston State Park to see if I could find any of my Roseate Spoonbills there but no luck…however, I did see quite a few of the American White Ibis. I was shocked the first time I saw one of them as their eyes are such a beautiful, startling blue and their legs are so oddly colored too! Really everything about this bird is rather…

Tricolored Heron Trivia
This gorgeous bird was called a Louisiana Heron for over 175 years, but the American Ornithological Union changed its name to Tricolored Heron over 40+ years ago – why? Who knows!!
It’s the only Heron that has the white belly and dark rest of its body.
Trivia: What do you call a group of Tricolored Herons? Well, they can be called several things such as a pose, hedge, rookery, scattering of…

Hurricane Harvey - What Can You Do?
Hurricane Harvey – What Can You Do?
Hurricane Harvey struck here in Texas. I know a fellow blogger who had to evacuate along with my sweet niece and her soon-to-be hubby from Corpus Christi and Port Aransas, Mustang Island areas, then here in Houston the flooding is disastrous too. I will obviously not be blogging for a while, but thought if anyone wants to help, here is a link to the Red Cross – (specifically for the Hurricane…

What a cool experience it was to visit The Commemorative Air Force Houston Wing at 18000 Groschke Road, Hanger #B-5, Houston, Texas 77084. My only complaint…that I didn’t allow enough time to visit it longer as I had a party to attend.
“The Commemorative Air Force honors the men and women who built, maintained, and flew in these airplanes during World War II. The organization believes that is best accomplished by maintaining the airplanes in flying condition; taking the airplanes to the people allowing them to experience the sight and sound of the aircraft in flight.” (Source: www.houstonwing.org)
The museum is open on the 1st and 3rd Saturdays of each month from 10am – 3pm. Telephone Number is 281-579-2131
The Fairchild PT-19 “Cornell”
The Houston Wing is based at West Houston Airport, in Houston, Texas, USA. The Wing has six CAF aircraft assigned – Lockheed C-60A “Lodestar”, North American AT-6 “Texan”, Consolidated-Vultee BT-13 “Valiant”. Naval Aircraft Factory N3N “Yellow Peril”, Fairchild PT-19A “Cornell” and a major restoration project, a North American L‑17 Navion
The Fairchild PT-19 “Cornell”
“The Houston Wing is now able to offer Historic Flight Experiences in five authentic WWII aircraft; the AT-6 Advanced Trainer, the BT-13 Basic Trainer, the N3N Primary Trainer, the PT-19 Primary Trainer and the C-60 Lodestar! This is a once-in-a-lifetime experience for any aviation enthusiast or history buff!”(Source: http://houstonwing.org/wing-aircraft/historic-flight-experience)
Meet Mr. Chuck Waters, a volunteer at the Museum. I am soooo going back when Mr. Waters is there!!! He is truly a fountain of information and is fascinating to converse with if you get an opportunity!

Just when you think you’ve seen it all….I had the extreme pleasure of meeting “The Singing Seamstress”!
That would be Ms. Heather Gabriel. My beautiful niece is getting married soon to her perfect mate so off to find a seamstress…she found Heather based on great, (21 of them and ALL FIVE STARS), reviews from www.TheKnot.com and a few other searches. My daughter accompanied my niece to the first appointment and called me immediately telling me how much I would adore Ms. Gabriel. She was correct! I did attend the second fitting and from the moment you walk up to her door, you can see and feel Heather’s sewing passion!!! Sometimes a photo IS worth a thousand words!!
One of the first things that really grabbed me was this….but then she opens her door…
Then I saw a HUGE collection of matryoshka dolls, (Russian nesting dolls), Ms. Gabriel had on display and was dumbfounded!! As it turns out, Heather began her Matryoshkas collection in college, but the fascination goes much further back than that. When The Singing Seamstress was a little girl, she watched the Sesame Street show and they had a segment where they took apart a Russian doll and stopped motion filming and put it back together. She thought it was the coolest thing ever – art you can play with!! It appealed to the kid in her and it appeals to the adult in her now, does me too! I think Heather and I both like that simply by looking at them you can’t tell how many dolls are inside.
Of course next, I HAD to know how she came to be called “The Singing Seamstress”? Ends up that Ms. Gabriel is a classically trained opera singer and actress right here from the University of Houston! Go figure?!? She says it was one of her theater friends who first dubbed her “The Singing Seamstress”. Heather has acted in performances for Stage Door with roles such as Maria in the Sound of Music, Mrs. Lovett in Sweeney Todd and genderbent Scrooge in Christmas Carol to name a few. I’m jealous too of her travels to places like Alaska, Hawaii, England, Scotland, Ireland! Although she still has dreams of one day traveling to all of the countries that her ancestors are from like Sweden, Norway, France, Germany, Czech Republic, Romania, Poland. Certainly shopping for Matryoshkas in Russia is on her future bucket list too! “The Singing Seamstress” would like to play Mama Rose in Gypsy, Ursula in Little Mermaid and Miss Mona in Best Little Whorehouse in Texas too. I have no doubt she will eventually do them all!
Getting back to sewing….as my niece came to her for wedding dress alterations, I know of her awesome skills now, but others may not. I asked how “The Singing Seamstress” first became interested in sewing. She replied, “I started sewing when I was nine years old. My mother taught me. It wasn’t until I was in my 30’s however, that I got very seriously into costuming. I had an assistant who worked for me who was the head of costuming for a very large medieval festival and she helped me hone my skills.”
It was only a matter of time before couldn’t stop myself from asking Heather to share a bridal story with me! Here we go …”One thing that working with the public does for you is increase your cache of stories A thousandfold. One of my favorite stories is I had a frazzled bride call me in a panic as she got halfway to my studio before she realized that she had forgotten her dress and had to turn around to go get it. She was so wound up when she got here that I knew we would not be able to do a fitting. So after ascertaining her preference of wine and chocolate, I commanded her to sit and proceeded to place both in front of her. I sat down with her, poured the wine and we talked for an hour while she calmed down. After that we did the fitting. The funny part is that the next two fittings went exactly the same.”
Bottom line is Heather Gabriel is not only a wonderful, very reasonably priced seamstress, but a heck of a fascinating person! I would highly recommend her for any of your alterations, costumes or special projects. Contact her here or call (713) 742-2217 or via Facebook. You’ll love her!
Thanks for visiting!!
Elizabeth and Max (Urrr…Max is already buggin’ me about his Halloween costume….Oh Heather….HELP!!!)

What do the 4 books above have in common??? Their authors are all great people and killer writers!!! I can personally vouch that “What’s in a name” by Sally Cronin and “Glimpses” by Hugh W. Roberts are great reads!!! “What Did I Do?” – A Memoir by Chuck Jackson is one I just purchased today as is My GRL by John W. Howell! :). Today’s prices are $.99 – $3.73 – cha ching and no coupons needed 🙂 🙂
That said, just a little reminder for everyone to go snatch up these books at a special price today! Support your fellow bloggers and save a nice chunk of change today too!!!
Here’s a little about each of the books – enjoy and happy reading!
What Did I Do? A Memoir by Chuck Jackson
I’m excited to announce, for one week starting August 18, 2017 What Did I Do? is on sale for the low price of 99 cents. You might ask why am I doing this. In writing this book, I opened an ugly side of my life. I felt obligated to come out of the shadows and talk about a subject many people find hard to discuss. I wanted to bring awareness and credibility to the fight against child abuse. I wanted people to know that this atrocious offense continues within our families today. We cannot turn away when the life and sometimes the death of children are in peril. Whether you read my book or not, I beg you to never turn your back when you see or know of a child being neglected or abused.
My book is not the only book about this dark side of humanity. Many brave souls have opened their lives as I did mine. We have similar motivations; we don’t want what happened to us to proliferate. We want people educated and to help stop child abuse.
“For those that understand, no explanation is needed. For those that do not understand, no explanation is possible.” Unknown Author
Book Overview:
The veil of secrecy over the American family prevails and the covertness of child abuse continues. According to the National Children’s Alliance, approximately 700,000 (683,000 in 2015) children are abused each year. Child Protective Service (CPS) reports they investigate 3.4 million children and place them under the care of the CPS. These are frightening statistics attesting that child abuse is not in decline, but rather the opposite.
Child abuse or child maltreatment is physical, sexual, or psychological mistreatment or neglect of a child or children. Have you ever suspected or even witnessed child abuse in public or in a home? If you did and did nothing, you are condoning the act and its effect on the child. Child advocacy groups are begging for the public involvement. Yet, little is being done.
What Did I Do? is Chuck Jackson’s true recollection of the abuse he received from both his parents. It is a story where he spent years struggling to please them without succeeding. It is a story where they told him he was irredeemable and unworthy of being their son. When he saw love and happiness in other families, he wondered why not his.
Chuck came out of the darkness to expound on the stigma attached to child abuse. He admitted to the affects of shame, anger, guilt, and depression that he and so many experience. He tells the story of survival where he felt invisible. Follow him where he sought a warm touch and a kind word of praise. Follow his desperation for love from anyone. Follow Chuck’s story and help answer his question, What Did I Do?

Glimpses by Hugh W. Roberts
After publishing some of his short stories on his blog, Hugh W. Roberts, who suffers from dyslexia, received numerous requests to publish his short stories in a book.
Here, at last, are 28 short stories that will take your mind on a rollercoaster of a ride into worlds that conceal unexpected twists and turns.
Glimpses allows the reader a peek into the lives of everyday people who are about to have life lead them on an unpredicted path. From a mysterious deadly iPad app, to a hole in the fence that is not all it seems, to a strange lipstick that appears to have a life of its own, you will encounter terror, laughter, sadness, shock and many other emotions on journeys which promise a thrilling and gripping climax.
If you are a lover of shows such as ‘The Twilight Zone’ and ‘Tales Of The Unexpected’, then you’re in for a real treat with this first collection of short stories from Hugh.
Dare you take a glimpse into the lives of these unsuspecting characters?
*****“If you’re looking for a thoroughly entertaining read, Glimpses is the book for you. Each story has been cleverly crafted; through Hugh’s wonderful imagination, he has the ability to whisk you away to many different worlds, past, present and future. Every story makes a compelling read and just when you think you know what’s going to happen next, Hugh masterfully reveals a brilliant twist. With bite-size and longer stories, Glimpses is a must-read. I loved it.” – Esther Newton, Writer, and Author.

What’s In A Name by Sally Cronin
There are names that have been passed down through thousands of years which have powerful and deep-rooted meaning to their bearers. Other names have been adopted from other languages, cultures and from the big screen. They all have one thing in common. They are with us from birth until the grave and they are how we are known to everyone that we meet.
There are classical names such as Adam, David and Sarah that will grace millions of babies in the future. There are also names that parents have invented or borrowed from places or events in their lives which may last just one lifetime or may become the classic names of tomorrow.
Whatever the name there is always a story behind it. In What’s in a Name? – Volume One, twenty men and women face danger, love, loss, romance, fear, revenge and rebirth as they move through their lives.
Anne changes her name because of associations with her childhood, Brian carries the mark of ancient man, Jane discovers that her life is about to take a very different direction, and what is Isobel’s secret?
*****“Pour yourself a cuppa, find a comfy perch and dig into this book! The talent and versatility of author, Sally Cronin, shines in What’s in a Name. She introduces us to 20 people, who by the end of each story, will remind us of either someone we know or wish we did know. There is nothing predictable about the characters, their lives or the endings of any of the stories. To prove the point, pay particular attention to Isobel, Diana, Jack, and Hector. Want a tug at the heart strings? Then give Grace, Alexander, Francis and Anne a read. While I have only mentioned a few here, you will be equally delighted and entertained by the remaining dozen tales about found in What’s in a Name. by Sally Cronin. I look forward to the rest of the alphabet, that will comprise the next book!” -Review By Perspectivepower, Annette Rochelle Aben

My Grl by John W. Howell
John Cannon has a choice. Save himself or the Annapolis Midshipman.
John J. Cannon, a successful San Francisco lawyer, takes a leave of absence from the firm and buys a boat he names My GRL. His intent is to relax, but others make this intention impossible. John is unaware when he buys his boat that it has been targeted by a terrorist group to be used as a guided bomb to destroy the Annapolis Midshipmen on their summer cruise.
John’s first inkling of trouble is when he wakes up in the hospital and learns they found him unconscious next to the body of the young woman who sold him the boat and laying on the gun that killed her. John must struggle to convince the police he is not a murderer and then he finally ends up as the only one who can try and stop the terrorists from completing their mission.
The action moves from a small town in Texas to fifty miles offshore of the New York Harbor where the terrorists plan to launch their attack.
*****“The book did not disappoint. It starts out with a senseless murder and …
By Author Don Massenzioon
Just from the synopsis, I was hooked on the story line. The book did not disappoint. It starts out with a senseless murder and then pulls in elements of a classic thriller. We have bad guys pretending to be good guys, a relentless law man and a reluctant hero.
This book also has another character, the boat, My GRL. You can almost imagine being on this wonderful vessel through the descriptions given in the book.
John Howell does a wonderful job of quickly pulling in the reader and helping navigate the twists and turns through the narrative style from the point of view of his main character, John Cannon. Cannon takes us inside his thought process. We get to see his fears and his conviction grow as the bad guys become more and more outrageous in their terrorist plot.
I highly recommend this book. I try to stick to reviews of books with wide distribution on my blog for a variety of reasons, but I’m glad I took the chance on John Howell’s book, My GRL. I’ll be putting his other books on my TBR list.”

Meet Paul Gomberg, The “Rockstar Realtor” . I actually stumbled on Mr. Gomberg while doing research for another blogpost but thought he was so interesting and a tad crazy 🙂 , that I wanted to introduce you to him too!
As y’all know here in Texas….it’s go big or go home!! Paul is definitely a “Go Big” type of guy!!! Oh, and that mentality seems to run in the family but wait….we’ll get to that soon…you won’t want to miss out!!
Question: Something I certainly never expected to learn about you is that you were the realtor of the property known as “the filthiest home in Houston”. What can you tell about this and how you became involved?!
Paul Gomberg’s Answer: I got involved in the filthy house as the listing agent to sell it for a client that purchased one of my listings. I temporarily was able to postpone a foreclosure on the filthy home. We attempted to do a short sale on the home but the lender refused about 100 offers and subsequently one of those buyers who had wanted to purchase the home sued the lender and myself in a really stupid lawsuit (still on going in Harris County) The lawsuit will be a future Rockstar video and I plan to make the plaintiff’s very famous.
Want more in-depth information about the home? Here’s an article by Michelle Huffman found on Yahoo! News
Question: I also discovered you’re the front man for a Rock band, “Psycho Life”. Tell me about the band and how long you’ve been a musician too? Who are some of your Rock heroes?
Paul’s Answer: I’ve been in two bands since 1999. The first band Rose Drill played gigs all around Houston we were known as “the best band in our price range” Sadly Rose Drill collapsed in 2009 amid a bad economy, heart attacks, and our drummer was beaten severely by his wife and he couldn’t play the drums anymore. Psycho Life is my second band that I have been in. Psycho Life is just one of about 3 names we used. The other names are Jar Fly and my favorite Donkey Paradise and because one evening an announcer introduced us as Donkey Parasites, so we used that name that name too. The band does originals and covers in our own style of bluesy rock. My part in the band is lead vocalist, creative movement and to make sure that every audience member is riveted to their seats, dancing and paying attention to us while we play. My biggest rock heroes are the Stones, Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Bowie & Alice Cooper.
Mr. Gomberg is engaged to wife #3, has three children ranging in age from 12-25. His eldest is upcoming pop star, Ms. Dorian Electra. As my blog is a G rated blog, I will just post Dorian Electra’s “The Dark History of High Heels”this music video here. However, one of her biggest hits is all about a C word that rhymes somewhat with wit 🙂 so not for non-adult eyes/parental warning,etc…… Told ya…runs in the family!
Question: Mr. Gomberg, I know you’ve been in the real estate business for over 38 years as either a developer, home builder, leasing agent and commercial builder, inspector, expert witness for construction defects and licensed real estate agent over 36 years. What’s been your favorite part of your extensive background and why?
Paul’s Answer: My favorite part has been getting famous and known around here as the Rockstar Realtor. I like helping my clients solve their real estate problems with my experience and my counter intuitive approach and out of the box ideas seem to work out really well.
Question: In researching for another post on Yale Street Grill and Gifts, I discovered you once owned this business too. What possessed you to buy it in the first place?
Gomberg’s Answer: In 2002 the owner was going to permanently close the Yale Street Grill. I loved the place and didn’t want to see it close. I offered to buy the building and the business (Yale Street Grill & Gifts) and as crazy as it sounds 3 days later I was in the restaurant business before the deal even closed.
(Photos provided by Paul Gomberg)
The “Rockstar Realtor” doesn’t limit himself to selling filthy homes or being a rockstar…nope…he loves collecting classic cars like his ’67 Chevy Impala SS in addition to collecting all types of music on all formats from 78”s to the “crappy 8- track”, LP’s & 45’s… Travel is another hobby. Dare I ask what next?????!
I asked Mr. Gomberg, in closing, what would you like the readers to know about you? His answer…
KEEP CALM BUY LIST & SELL WITH THE ROCKSTAR REALTOR
Want to list or sell with Paul Gomberg
Call The Rockstar Realtor at 713-446-8810
OR
Download Keller Williams
Paul Gomberg’s mobile app here!
All of this is in good-natured fun, but I would be wrong not to link to Mr. Gomberg’s About Me page where Mr. Gomberg speaks more seriously of his dedication to his real estate clients and experience.

Yale Grill and Gifts in the Historic Houston Heights Area in Houston, Texas - Step Back in Time to 1923!
Yale Grill and Gifts in the Historic Houston Heights Area in Houston, Texas – Step Back in Time to 1923!
My awesome sister gets all the credit for this discovery! Yale Grill and Gifts has been a Houston landmark since 1923!!!! This was back when Corn Flakes cost .10 cents for an 8 oz. package, a pound of bread was a mere .08 cents, the first issue of Time magazine was published and flapper style clothing was in vogue. I’d guess this makes it one of, if not THE oldest diner in Houston! Once inside…

Mini Road Trip Adventures with a Giant Squirrel and Pralines???!
Mini Road Trip Adventures with a Giant Squirrel and Pralines???!
A while back while passing by the small town of Refugio, Texas I saw the above Texas Boot, Blue bonnets and Cactus and have to snap a quickly. Sadly, looks like South Texas Kitchen at 201 S Alamo St, Refugio, TX 78377 has since closed but I liked the sculpture 🙂 Refugio had 2,890 residents as of the 2010 census. Next stop…Sinton, Texas. Now why on earth would I veer off in that direction?…

Still sick so I am “recycling” this older post for those that have never seen it 🙂 … hope to have new content soon 🙂
BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir in Stafford, Texas is breathtaking! It’s a place of traditional Hindu worship but respectful visitors are allowed. The exterior is made of Turkish Limestone and interior of Italian Marble. The hand carvings are stunning as you can see in the photos below. It’s truly a sight to behold and worth a visit!
Note: Mandir basically means a temple or place of worship. There is a souvenir shop and plenty of photo ops!
Advice: Check the Visitor Guidelines before you leave please to be sure you are dressed appropriately, etc.
