Beach beauties

Its a strange mix of emotions that stir inside of me when I walk alone listening to laughter that still lingers in the blowing reeds and lapping waves.

The big thaw

Today it was 60 and sunny with no chill factor unless you put ice in your tea.

Manly Men

Lets put the children first by teaching them how to be manly men and women with examples of Loyalty, Dignity, Kindness, Compassion, Integrity, Honesty, Hard Work and most of Love.

Cobbled with barbs

Forced to take a road you never saw

Cobbled with barbs and a broken heart

The big freeze

I hope everyone affected by these record low temps are staying warm and cozy with their favorite snuggle bug. 

Inked for life

His first tattoo was at the age of 14 in 1952 paying homage to his mother and brothers.
I assumed all dads were covered in artwork and words.

Fully fledged

Holding tight to the porcelain edge

Wishing to be the eagle upon my chest

Wings spread and fully-fledged

Once upon a time

A jet stream blew in one day and merged the paralleling winds creating a gale force storm like no other before.

Reality Check

I sincerely wish everyone could have the luck of living strong and healthy until old age then peacefully go to sleep waking with their beloved on the other side. However, that is not close to reality or how life works.
