Water Skiing

By |2017-08-24T02:41:41+00:00August 24th, 2017|Categories: Uncategorized|

Let's go water skiing. The sun is just coming up and the water resembles a piece of glass. Nothing to cause a ripple beside the occasional fish coming to the surface. The boat's engine revs and quickly pulls us up. We glide across the watery plane at great speed taking turns jumping over the vessel's wake. [...]

The Moonlight Ballroom

Tonight we go back in time to an old amusement park that once was a hop'n place in my home town.  It was called Myers Lake Park.  I went a few times when I was a kid, but by then it was kind of run down.  Mom described it when it was in its heyday.  Of course [...]

Peter Island

Tonight we need some tropical warmth.  So we're off to Peter Island, British Virgin Islands. There is a resort with villas and suites, several beautiful beaches, and a wonderful restaurant. We'll bask in the sun when we want and when we need shade we'll sit under an umbrella on wood and canvas beach chairs and crack [...]

Life’s Goodness

By |2017-08-14T01:28:16+00:00August 14th, 2017|Categories: Uncategorized|

Tonight we travel the globe in quest of joining people who are enjoying life. Sometimes it seems there is so much strife and hatred in this world we forget what a beautiful play ground our loving father has created. So, we will fly and join a wedding party in Bombay. We won't have been invited, but [...]

53 Corvette

Tonight we're driving in a 1953 Corvette--top down.  It's summer and the air is warm and blows our hair in all directions.  The radio plays Buddy Holly's Everyday.  We are driving the California coastline--US route 101--one of the most beautiful drives in all the world.  A roadside burger joint beckons and we pull to a stop and enjoy have [...]

Beach Bonfire

By |2017-08-03T02:08:12+00:00August 3rd, 2017|Categories: Uncategorized|

Tonight we travel to a rugged cliff and look down onto a white capped roaring ocean.  When we've finished admiring the turbulents below, we will walk a narrow trail down to the rocky shore. The spray and sand will burn our faces and the salt air will bring back memories of days spent at the shore [...]

French Cruise

So let's see, for tonight we are on a luxury cruse ship that is slowly making its way down the Rhone river in France. It is a brilliant sunny warm day and we are out on the deck marveling at the immense fields of sunflower and lavender. The scent of the flowers fills the air. We [...]

Night Sledding

By |2017-07-23T23:42:18+00:00July 23rd, 2017|Categories: Uncategorized|

I say we go sledding tonight. Our hill will be long and steep. The packed snow will shine blue in the moonlight. Down the hill we'll go, the runners on our sleds will sound clickity-clacks as we glide over the hard-packed icy slope. Our sleds will come to a stop in the fluffy fresh snow at the base [...]

Summer Rain

By |2017-07-22T13:41:10+00:00July 22nd, 2017|Categories: Uncategorized|

It's summer again. It is late July and close to one hundred degrees and the humidity is so high it adds an invisible weight to the still air. We are out for a walk and the grey clouds that slowly gathering above suddenly let loose a torrent of rain. There is no threat of lightening, it's [...]

A Mountain Feast

Tonight we are in a resort on the side of a mountain in British Columbia. From our vantage point, which over looks a snow covered plain, we can see herds of deer, elk, and buffalo. The resort's restaurant boasts a buffet of fire roasted beef, pork, and fowl. There are potatoes of every type: baked, fried, [...]
