In case you had not already guessed, I have a thing for PIGs - and no, I am not refering to my kids, who never seemed to understand the reasons for having a clean room! I am however refering to PIGs, Swine, Piggies, Porkers, Piglets - whatever you wish to call them, I dearly love each and every one of them!! It's simple really - I think PIGs are great, wonderful, supurb, fantastic, ect. It started innocently at first - Back in 1979 there was a gaudy, overpriced, huge piggybank in the giftshop my Mom worked at down on Main Street- I liked it simply because it was gaudy, and matched the bright colors in my kitchen. I put it on layaway, and eventually brought it home. About a year or so later, after the birth of my son, David - in the hospital giftshop I found the cutest little foursome of PIGs, each playing a musical instrument - another layaway, and those too eventually made thier way into my home. Somehow after that it just becomes a greedy, frenzied blur - and now I posess about 1600 of the little darlings!! Jewelry, clothing, toys, banks, knickknacks - you name it, I pretty well have it! As the years have passed, I have just grown more and more enchanted with the proverbial wonderful, perfect, PIG! (you can click above to see some pics of just a few of my toys & treasures!) |
Not much to tell, really! I am a 40-something American female. I spent over 18 years as a single parent raising my two wonderful kids, They are my constant pride and joy - and if I had it to do all over again, I would not change a thing, except I would want to have met my Husband sooner... Almost six years ago, I met my Beloved - and we knew from the start that we were soulmates. He is the most wonderful of men, a unique, honest and loving husband - we have been married for almost four years now, and the honeymoon just seems to go on and on! (Did I mention he has a really killer tush too?) You can click above to see more of my Beloved and myself! ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ I have lived in this small Texas town for twenty six years, and I really like it! I grew up all over the country - I was the proverbial Navy brat!! We lived in Utah, New Mexico, California, New York, and Virginia - the last was my favorite. After leaving home to seek my fortune in the world, I added Florida and Texas to the list. My parents retired here in 78, and I followed them here a year later. My Beloved and I hope to purchase a small parcel of land some day, and settle in to raising a small herd of cattle, some horses, and of course a yard and house full of PIGS! ... |
Like any devoted collector, there are collections of PIGs within my collection of PIGs! (you can click each of the pigs above to see parts of my web graphics!) One of these "collections" is a pretty good sized collection of PIG graphics! I have about 20 PIG web-page theme sets, about 300 animated PIG gifs, and (I lost count) about 1500 individual pieces of PIG clip art! I am, of course, always on the hunt for more. My Beloved just of shakes his head and smiles when hears me shrieking with joy upon the discovery of a new & unique item on the web! |
I don't have a really big family, but those of us who are in our family pride ourselves on being Christian, Patriotic, Upstanding American Citizens. Here in this house is myself and my Beloved, and a cat named Jamelie! Between us we have four kids: 2 girls (21 & 23) and 2 boys (25 & 21). Two live in Austin - one is working her way thru college, while the other builds watertowers all over the Central USA... The other two are two are in Lousiana, one works and attends college while raising a daughter, the other doesn't do anything except sit and wait for the government to send him another check... We have a precious and adorable granddaughter in Lousiana - plus an absolutely perfect grandson up in Ohio! Across town are my parents, and in the next little town west of here is one of my two sisters, and two of her kids. My other sister resides up in Oregon with her hubby and 2 grown children. |
There are countless sources for PIG graphics, or PIG information, or PIG shopping on the Net! There are PIG stores, and PIG rescue sanctuarys, and PIG Clubs all over. There are PIG graphics, PIG collectors, PIG cartoons, and PIG sounds everywhere! There is PIG jewelry, and PIG clothing, PIG toys, and PIG accessories. You can find wooden PIGS, paper PIGs, and even PIGs made of ceramic, clay or metals. And you can certianly find an exquisite PIG made entirely of gold! I've found alot of interesting, purposeful, and informative sites in my unending quest for "All Things PIG"... You can find some of the best (in my opinion) in a variety of venues by clicking above. |
My Beloved is a wonderful photographer - we are in the process of building a studio, and following. He specializes in Nature photography, and also seems to have a special eye for specialized personal portraiture - ranging from beautiful & unique outdoor locations that he favors for personal, family or group portraits, to the intimacy of boudior sessions. Tommy is known for his work from Lousianna to Texas, up to Arkansas, and all the way to Georgia! (check out the link above to visit Our MyImages Studio website!) |
It all started with a simple little page to share Our wedding pictures, which in turn evolved in to a family site... I had so much fun, I began working on a Studio site so that my Beloved could have an "online" portfolio, I was still having a blast so I began a personal website for my Mom, then my Grandson came along so He had to have his very own site too! Well I must have way too much time on my havds, because now I have created this site (naturally my favorite!) and will soon be starting a commercial site for Texas Welding, a "soon-to-be" welding & construction business owned & operated by my son, David No telling what else the future might bring!!! |
Naturally if one is going to have a fun personal site, one also has to have a guestbook so they can keep in touch with thier visitors!! Please take a moment to sign the book and let me know you were here! Next you need to remember to bookmark my site, so you can stop in to visit me again - I have lots more to add, and some very special surprises in store!! |
Wow, I still have more PIG graphics to post, and have found & created a few more PIG web-sets too.

I for one am not sick of reading about or seeing PIGs, and I am not sick of hearing about PIGs either, and soooo since this is "my" website, then I can go ahead and keep posting more and more PIG things!!!! YEA!!! (click each of the links above to find more PIG stuff!) |
