Photo Showcase: Easter Campout & Eclipse

Easter weekend we went camping at Jim Hogg Park on Lake Georgetown. When I made the reservation months ago I didn’t realize it was Easter. The weather was nice, the wildflowers were plentiful and the company was exceptional. Then on April 8 we joined the Sharrick Family at their lake...

I recently uploaded several old photos to my photo gallery. I wanted to collect them in a place where I could easily access them. Over the years, I’ve cataloged a great number of photos on CDs or DVDs. I have reference sheets of thumbnails for each disc. Recently my daughter...
