Life is a Bumpy Road

Austin, Texas. Travel in Texas. Life in General. "Do not go gentle into that good night, Old age should burn and rave at close of day; Rage, rage against the dying of the light. - - -Dylan Thomas

About Me

My Photo
Name:
Location: Austin, Texas, United States

I am an esteemed alumni of Austin College in Sherman Texas (Class of "none of your business"). I graduated with a BA in Liberal Arts as a History Major. Subsequently, I have worked in the human services field since graduation because there aren't too many jobs out there for history majors. Except for my short incarceration in Sherman, I have always lived in Austin, Texas. That's not totally true, I was born in England and lived there approximately 18 months, but for some strange reason I don't remember living there. I travel through out Texas for my job, every week. So beware Texans, I might be coming to a town near you!! I am happily married to a wonderful guy and have 0 (zero, zilch) children. (We just forgot to have them?) I find life amusing now (I used to find it extremely depressing but that's another story). So here's to Life, which after all can be a very bumpy road!

"Few people are capable of expressing with equanimity opinions which differ from the prejudices of their social environment. Most people are even incapable of forming such opinions." -Albert Einstein

Howard Nursery Closed!

OH NO!! I really loved Howard Nursery! But everything changes in this city. Anyway the June 24th edition of the Austin American Statesman reported that Howard Nursery located on Keonig Road closed earlier this month without any fanfare. It had been a family owned and operated Austin business for the last 94 years. Here's a quote from the Statesman article:

Howard Nursery, one of Austin's last family-owned nurseries and one of the oldest nurseries in Texas, quietly closed its doors earlier this month. There may be no shortage of places to buy gardening supplies in Austin, but this place was different: an old-fashioned nursery with knowledgeable staff who would take time to research a question if they didn't know the answer. The Howards knew about half of their customers by name, and many had been coming for decades.
