10 November, 2025 Omg Jodie, this installment had an original start date of 12 April, 2017. I was looking at current Chronicle documents and opened this page and discovered that apparently, I never wrote more than the opening sentence of this installment!! (smile) So-o-o-o for eight years, I’ve been under the impression that I wrote…

“….Justice for All”….Really??
9 November, 2025 Hey JoJo….it’s time to return to writing my chronicles!! (smile) Yeah, my procrastinating finally reached its max point just a few days ago. The origin of the primary display I wanted to show started a very long time ago. I found two globes, one White and one Black, and placed them equally…
“4 Beautiful Butterflies….4 Beautiful Friendships!”
19 September, 2019 “4 Beautiful Butterflies….4 Beautiful Friendships!” Hi Jodie….so-o-o-o, only 8 days ago you headed back home after spending a week with me. It’d been 2 ½ years since we’d seen each other, and I simply couldn’t have asked for a more phenomenal way to celebrate reaching my 70th Birthday than to have been…
“A Snowy Morning in Vegas….and an Arctic Playground!”
21 February, 2019 Hi JoJo….it’s been a quite a while since I knocked out an installment, and today is an amazing day to do that, as it is actually snowing here in Vegas for the first time in 10 years!! Yes…those are real photos of the view I have from my upper terrace this morning. …
“They weren’t Dinosaurs until 1841!”
25 February, 2017 “They weren’t Dinosaurs until 1841!” Wow, you’re not gonna believe this one. I watched a documentary last night that totally surprised the hell outta me as far as what I thought I knew about the prehistoric creatures we call dinosaurs!! I had to title this installment according to this most recently discovered…
“….Worth a Thousand Words!”
18 February, 2017 “….Worth a Thousand Words!” It’s 7:30AM on a Grey rainy Saturday morning here in Sin City!! I’m looking out on the golf course, and the sand traps just a few feet away from my patio, have taken on a richer, deeper Sepia colored hue….the result of the night long, steadily continuous downpour…
“So….Do You Play??”
12 February, 2017 “So….Do You Play??” Jodie and I recently talked about her favorite music from “back in the day” (well….her day anyway), so I thought I’d go ahead and write about the two musical instruments in the crystal collection. (smile) The title of this instalment is taken from a question that I still get…
Meet the “Ceylon Cinnamon Mare!”
01 January, 2017 Meet the “Ceylon Cinnamon Mare!” Well….Happy New Year!! (smile) I thought that this would be a perfect day to initiate one of my declared “New Year’s Resolutions”. I’m hoping that I can indeed stick to it, even though I know that the “inspiration” to sit and knock out a “Chronicle” does…
Blue & Yellow Sailboat….“I can’t believe that I did that!!”
19 October, 2015 Blue & Yellow Sailboat….“I can’t believe that I did that!!” I’ll tell you, this story is really one of the ones that I definitely will remember forever, because I was completely unprepared for the things that happened that day!! On my 50th birthday, I was caught totally by surprise by a number…
When a Rose is more than a Rose!
14 January, 2017 “When a Rose is more than a Rose!” Good Evening JoJo. I’m really pleased with myself right now because I’m actually trying to make good on my declaration to be more prolific in the production of installments of “The Crystal Chronicles” this year. (ha,ha,ha,ha) About a week ago, I decided that because…
The Thrill of Victory….The Agony of Defeat!
7 August, 2016 The Thrill of Victory….The Agony of Defeat! Hi JoJo, I’m surprising myself this morning because I’m sitting here so pumped up about writing this installment that I’m actually starting it before I’ve photographed the pieces I’m writing about!! (smile) That might be because 1) I don’t want to forget what I’m thinking…
Introduction
The Crystal Chronicles The Stories Behind the Glass At long last I’ve decided to begin to tell the series of stories behind a collection of interesting, beautiful, and perhaps unique pieces of glass sculptures that I’ve collected over a period now of more than 20 years! While some of them are rather small in stature,…
