Cindy's Place
I took this while hiking through the Andes in Spring of 1995, during my year
of teaching at El Camino Academy in
Bogotá, Colombia
Hi! So you found me. I live in Austin, TX and work at the Texas Primary Care OfficeDepartment of State Health Services.
I originally moved to Austin to go to grad school at The University of Texas at Austin - Hook 'Em
Horns! I love living in Austin, even though I am not a native Texan; I grew up
in south central Kansas (Toto, we are NOT in Kansas anymore). In 1989, I
graduated from Kansas State University - GO
Cats! - the only school I love more than UT. During my summers between school, I
worked at Kanakuk-Kanakomo Kamps, Inc. in
Branson, MO. It was my home away from home for several years.
I am involved in my church here in Austin, The Fellowship at Scofield Farms, leading the Women's Ministry. In my spare time, I like reading, watching movies, listening to music, hanging out with friends and working on genealogy. I'll be adding new links and pictues; so check back from time to time to see if anything has changed.

These are pictures & pages that tell you something about parts of my life
and who I am. There are a couple of cool scenery shots and pictures of my
friends, too.
Some of these are real places, and some of them are virtual places. Some of
them are places I've visited and a couple are places I would like to visit.
- Kansas State University, my alma matter!
You can find out anything you want to know about the school or the Alumni Association. You can also visit K-State's sport's page
- Kansas
Flint Hills This is where I grew up - in the Flint Hills of Kansas. I
found this page as part of the K-State Football site
that is maintained by fans (Gotta love those K-State Fans!). See, not all of
Kansas is flat.
- The Fellowship at Scofield Farms, Austin, TX
- Vatican City In September 2009 I took a trip to Italy, and loved visiting the Vatican. We also went to Venice, which really is sinking into the ocean, and Florence. One big lesson is that 'Bed & Breakfast' in Venice, doesn't mean the same thing as it does in the US.
- Israel I was able to do a 2 week study tour in November 2005 through FEFC. It was a wonderful trip. The pics are in my Israel 2005 Yahoo! Photo Album You can also see what's currently going on at the Western (Wailing) Wall Live Cam
- Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) I went there in January 2007 on a missions vision trip to work at the Hospital in Tandala.
- Table Rock Lake.
The view from the church at Kanakuk-Kanakomo
Kamps, #2 is great at sunset.
- Macchu Picchu I've never
been to there, but I thought this was a cool picture with the llama in it. I
fell in love with the Andes when I was teaching at El Camino Academy, a school for the
children of missionaries in Bogota, Colombia, S.A. Bill & Angela Louden who are teachers at
the school also have a page on their site for ECA.
- Amazon.com I've found things here that
I couldn't find anywhere else, and don't travel without taking my Kindle with me.
- Star Trek. OK so I'm a trekkie; not
a bad as some, worse than others. I also like Stargate SG-1.
- Mark Lowry's ReMarkable Site. Mark
is a Christian Comedian/Singer and has some great stuff on his site.
I started working on my genealogy a couple years ago to find out if I was
related to one of my friends. I still haven't proved it; but have found some new
cousins along the way; and am starting to get a better idea of who I am and
where I come from. It's also Addictive! Each of these pages has links to my
other genealogy pages by surname. Some of them are still in Progress.
I really got started on the whole genealogy thing from talking with mom.
She used to tell me all kinds of stories when I was young, mainly about our family.
Sometimes I think I should have listened more than I did. We lost mom in April 2002, and
I miss her a lot. I also miss my brother Danny who we lost in 2007.
I'm hoping to be able to update the pictures from time to time as I get new
pictures of my friends either scanned in or processed on disk. And as I find out
about web pages, I'll add those too; but can't promise to get all of them or to
get them in a timely manner. I'm already having to do some backtracking on
stuff.
I also have pictures on my Facebook page.
They say you can be known by the company you keep, so the pics and sites
below say a lot about me and who I am.
