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 [...]

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

By |2017-08-22T01:52:45+00:00August 22nd, 2017|Categories: Uncategorized|

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

By |2017-08-16T01:46:21+00:00August 16th, 2017|Categories: Uncategorized|

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

By |2017-08-08T01:55:16+00:00August 8th, 2017|Categories: Uncategorized|

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 [...]
