  • CBWC — Tickets and the Lockdown

    Nothing will send fear into a teacher’s heart more than the word “lockdown,” especially after the recent Uvalde massacre. It was a normal Tuesday when one of the aids from another class stuck her head in the door and yelled lockdown. I thought it was drill because I don’t have… Listen ⇢

  • Friday Night Lights, Down Home Reflections

    I took these photos a week ago, at a football game where my youngest son was marching in the band. It had rained most of the day, and I could let a good reflection go to waste. This post is part of Debbie’s Six Word Saturday Challenge on her blog,… Listen ⇢

  • CBWC: Texture

    Just a quick post to join Cee’s Black & White Challenge: texture. I had a few to share. This is our chandelier in our living room. Not sure if I like it. The wood grain gets my vote! The grass has actually greened up since I took this shot. All… Listen ⇢

  • That Moment…

    We had several of them. The moment where the busyness stopped. The visiting stopped. The running around all came to an end, and we enjoyed the moment together on the banks of the Watauga River, reading, and enjoying being together. All photos are copyright © Timothy J. Hammons, 2022.  Listen ⇢

  • Welcome to the Neighborhood

    Last night, after picking up my boys from up north, I drove by our new home to surprise Andy, my oldest. I had already teased Joey about us buying a new house, so he already knew. It was fun watching and listening to Andy as he realized we had bought… Listen ⇢

  • Home Improvements

    As some may know already, last Friday August 5th, Heidi and I closed on a house here in Waco. Instead of speedily throwing all our belongings into a moving van, and moving on Saturday, we decided to take it a bit slower and work on the house before we moved… Listen ⇢

    At the end of our vacation in Tennessee, my wife and I decided to take a trip over to Gatlinburg, TN to stay at the Buckhorn Inn. It’s a beautiful bed and breakfast tucked away in the Smoky Mountains just far enough away from the tourist infestation found in the… Listen ⇢
