An inexpensive day in Houston

Image
 Most of the time, you can find me working on a blog post or one of my books at a Starbucks somewhere in the greater Dallas Fort Worth area. In fact, today I am working on this blog at a Starbucks in Fort Worth.  But sometimes, I am out and about finding new things here in Texas where I have lived since May of 2021. And now that I have resurrected this blog, it seems my discoveries are a good thing to share with anyone reading. So, today I am going to tell you about a fairly recent trip my husband and I made to Houston in December 2021.  We have been to Houston three times since moving to Texas. All three trips down there were so Don could participate in vinyl record shows. He makes enough to cover all our travel expenses and several hundred dollars over that. So, they're worthwhile trips.  Unfortuately, two of the three - especially our most recent earlier this month - left us with no time to enjoy Houston. But I'm going to go ahead and embarrass Don by telling you ...

Content! My favorite thing

In this linked article, Joe Pulizzi of Content Marketing Institute shares 12 essential roles for content marketing. 12 Roles Essential to the Future of Content Marketing Special thanks to Carl Dameron of Dameron Communications for passing this on! I would like to add that Pen Porter may, in fact, be a brand new breed of content marketer. While my industry is public relations, for me it's all about creating quality content to help grow interest in my clients' businesses. Of course, when a journalist turned freelance writer turned public relations specialist opens her own public relations and marketing agency, content is king! Well, Queen in my case. Content is even my "Word of the Year" for 2013. It has been since January 1, four months before Pen Porter launched. Pen Porter existed as a dream for almost 10 years before it became real. That is, a dream that sometimes resulted in paying freelance gigs payable to Ellen Porter. Most of those freelance gigs, even as l...

The History of Bayou Bend

Image
Texas governor Jim Hogg, c. 1890, with children Ima, William, Thomas, Mike and wife Sarah.   When I was writing about our trip to Houston, I did some research into one of our stops, the Bayou Bend House. I found it has a fascinating history, so I wanted to research more and write about that. This is what I have learned about Ima Hogg, the woman who originally owned the house. The house has the appearance of a southern Civil War-era plantation. Perhaps there were some of those in Houston in the 1860s, but the Bayou Bend House wasn’t one of them. It wasn’t built until 1928. Even the original owner, Miss Hogg, wasn’t born until 1882. Her family had been part of the southern aristocracy in the Civil War era. Her great-grandfather, Thomas Hogg, had served in the state legislatures of Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi after his service in the Revolutionary War. Her paternal grandparents, Joseph and Lucanda Hogg, moved from Alabama to Texas in 1836 as a young couple. There Josep...
