Our House To Be

By |2017-10-16T00:19:21+00:00October 16th, 2017|Categories: Uncategorized|

Tonight we're walking through a house that's under construction.  It's a beautiful sprawling single level home.  The outside is a mix of stone and wooden siding and the large mahogany front door is framed by an impressive sand stone arch.  The great room has a cathedral ceiling with exposed rough hewn rafters.  It sports a large [...]

Key Bound

By |2017-10-12T01:28:02+00:00October 10th, 2017|Categories: Uncategorized|

Tonight we'll travel far away from the entanglements of ex-husbands and the like. We are headed to Florida's Keys. The sun is bright and warm and the water is aqua-blue. Our cares and worries disappear like the flat stones we skip into the shimmering waves, whos remnants rush around our feet as they end their journey [...]

1907 Bath Excursion

By |2017-10-04T01:42:27+00:00October 4th, 2017|Categories: Uncategorized|

Tonight it's 1907 and our horse drawn coach is on the road from London to Bath.  The suspension is top-notch for the time, but we are still jostled about as we encounter rut and rock on the dirt highway.  Our layered, high-collared clothing seems odd to us as we've never wore anything like them before, but [...]

A Deer Valley Day

By |2017-09-30T02:29:52+00:00September 30th, 2017|Categories: Uncategorized|

Tonight, we're riding a ski lift to the top of a run at Deer Valley, Utah.  As they occasionally do, the lift stops for someone who has had difficulty getting on, and our chair rocks gently to and fro high above a snowy valley until it starts again and we continue our upward journey. It is [...]

A Magic Swing

By |2017-09-25T01:26:33+00:00September 25th, 2017|Categories: Uncategorized|

Tonight dream of a magic swing that lets you soar into a new landscape each time you begin your downward path. You keep your eyes closed tightly until just the right moment, and as your hair is blown backward by the wind, you open them and behold. First a summer scene with all shades of green, [...]

Seattle Town

By |2017-09-16T18:04:17+00:00September 16th, 2017|Categories: Uncategorized|

Tonight our airplane fly's into Seattle between several large snow covered mountains. We're not there to visit the Seahawks, but to have fun in the city. We ride the space needle, visit the waterfront, marvel at Mt. Rainier, taste their famous coffee, dine in their China town, and in general ware ourselves out seeing everything there [...]

A Mighty Tree

By |2017-09-13T01:42:26+00:00September 13th, 2017|Categories: Uncategorized|

Tonight we are picnicking under the canopy of a mighty tree.  It is several hundred years old and it's branches stretch to create a shaded cover seventy feet in diameter. We spread our large soft cover over a ground cloth and open our baskets. A sommelier brings a bottle of fine champagne on ice.  It accompanies [...]

California Orchard

By |2017-09-08T02:20:08+00:00September 8th, 2017|Categories: Uncategorized|

So tonight it is forty-five minutes before sunset. We are in California and we're walking through a vast orchard of lemon and orange trees. The remaining sun casts long lovely shadows. The aroma of citrus rides the breeze and makes everything smell clean and fresh.  The pickers have built a cooking fire and are busy tending [...]

Easy Current

By |2017-09-03T02:33:04+00:00September 3rd, 2017|Categories: Uncategorized|

Tonight I say we go tubing down a long lazy river. The water is cool enough to bring about chill bumps, but the sun is so hot that the brief shiver is welcomed. There are no rapids to fret with, just a steady easy current to move us along. Children's laughter fills the air as moms [...]

New York Autumn Day

By |2017-08-29T01:51:13+00:00August 29th, 2017|Categories: Uncategorized|

Tonight we are off to lake country in upstate New York.  It's a cool autumn day and the trees are bright with colors that reflect across brilliant clear waters--I think only Vincent could have done them justice on canvas.  But beyond the foliage, New York is famous for their apples, both in quantity and quality.  The [...]
