Selected Diary Entries

Sunday, October 12, 2025:

Jan Pickett Rich and I visited the San Gabriel Unitarian Universalist Fellowship and were inspired and uplifted by the message delivered by Pulpiteer Eric Hepburn on the theme of Cultivating Compassion. We then enjoyed brunch at Wildfire followed by a stroll around Georgetown's Square and browsing through the shops. After storming through the Wolf Ranch HEB, we returned to our homes to put away our purchases -- all except the ingredients I'd picked up for mine and Arne's favorite buttermilk biscuits.  They turned out great!  The evening consisted of reading my latest mystery on my Nook and watching the new PBS Materpiece Mystery series, "Maigret."

The Mysterious Death
of Anton Janyska

My investigation into the numerous tragedies in Anton Janyska's life developed while I was conducting a survey at my family’s 140-year-old cemetery …

…. there lying beside him is a 2 month old child named Vlasta Janyska.  

His daughter?  If so, isn’t the timing of this man’s enlistment only one month following his child’s death strange?   

Why is there no wife buried beside Anton?   Why would the mother of this child be buried only a year later in a different cemetery rather than here beside this child she bore?

So many questions were churning in my head.  Little did I know how many more questions were to come!

I hope you enjoy reading
my investigation into the life of and
The Mysterious Death of Anton Janyska.

TERRY's ADVERTISEMENT:
I love coffee! 

I drink it morning through late afternoon.

Best Bean Ever!

While on vacation in Oregon I fell in love with the many varieties I discovered at Portland Coffee Roasters. 

I recommend both Morning (I love the milk chocolate and cherry finish.)

and Steel (Most popular blend. One taste and you’ll see why: it’s rich, smooth, and full of sweet toffee flavor. It tastes great as both a coffee or an espresso. An instant classic when introduced over 20 years ago.)

Since their founding in 1996, Portland Coffee Roasters has sourced their coffee directly from farmers while building sustainable relationships with them and the communities they support.
