Dallas has been frozen for days – our dogs seem to like it

By Dennis Guten on February 3, 2011 No Comments

Ever since the blast of cold air came down from the northwest on Monday night (1-31-11), Dallas has been like a freezer.

My employer, UT Dallas has closed the campus Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday so I have been home for days. In these three days I have ventured out only three times from the house. Once to drop Ruthie off at her parents house so they could slide out of Dallas on the way to Florida, once to take my son Jon Jon and my mom to lunch and once to go to the grocery store for supplies.

It has been bitter cold, like 14-18 degrees most of the time. There are sheets of ice everywhere and walking is even more dangerous than driving (at least I think so).

The only ones that seem to be enjoying running around outside and that don’t really come zipping back in two minutes after going out – yup, it our two doggies, Allie and Tasha. They have been enjoying frolicking around in the backyard on the crunchy ice. Hey, at least it’s not muddy so we don’t have to clean up after them when they get back into the house.

Any fun ice/snow stories you would like to share? I know Dallas is on the trail end of this massive storm system that has gripped much of the nation, and it would be neat to hear from people in other parts of the country.

We sold the house!!!, family and my new lens

By Dennis Guten on January 2, 2008 No Comments

The Maribeth house has finally sold!!! We closed on December 28, 2007 and are out of it for good.

It was kinda odd, but the house showed over 55 times and then we got 3 bids in a few days. one was right and we took it and they wanted to close really quickly (no complaints here). So that was a real relief to both Ruthie and I.

Let’s see, Josh is about to start a course in emergency medical technician (emt), David is in Israel on a trip called Birthright with Amy and Jon has immersed himself in yet another sports activity. He is now on the wrestling team at Richardson High.


I also had some fun playing around with my new “fisheye lens”…

This is a picture of our new kitchen at the Glen Cove house. I saw a tutorial online the other day about how you could get a cheap fisheye lens to work with a compact digital camera.

It really works!

It was pretty simple to put together. The ingredients are 1) one of those small door viewers (you know, the type you have in an apartment door) 2) The cap from a Target prescription bottle (check to make sure it fits over the camera lens) 3) A drill to drill a hole in the Target cap…that’s it

You just stick the whole strange looking thing over the lens and have fun. I have gotten some unusual and bizarre photos with this contraption. Try it.

Josh gets back home!

By Dennis Guten on October 12, 2007 No Comments


Josh is finally home from Israel! He got back last night and we are very glad his tour of duty is over and he is safe at home.

This is a shot of him with his new look from Petra, Jordan. He stopped off here and also took a short jaunt to Egypt before he hopped on a plane back to Dallas.
