FREEDOM

Looking Forward

This image congers up a bevy of possibility's for my return home in a few months,

a kayak safari definitely ranking up in the top two, Cypress Trees, Spanish Moss

and cold clear water holding some "slaber-doodles" right for the picking.

Our 1964 Land Yacht sitting dead on ready with the the oil in the skillet

crackling in anticipation of the fillets it is about to receive.

Lake Louisa, Dixie, Hammond or Bear makes no difference to me.

FREE To LOVE

Congratulations on my baby girl's engagement to Colin Martin on 09/14/2012.

I tried to find the perfect quote to express the hope of LOVE that I have for

Sarrah and Colin, but a Google Search left me uninspired.

then I thought of a more appropriate venue, GOD's own breath

"There is no greater love than to lay down one’s life for one’s friends." John 15:13

and the best of friends is exactly what you will be.

Ghost Town Cairo, IL

Maytag repairman looked really lonely

really lonely :(

Whether On the Red River in North Dakota or on Cocoa Beach, FL in the 70's how about "The Cabin" on Lake Mitchell In the greatest state of the union Alabama, or any of the other 20 something places I have lived in my life so far, if I have said it once I have said it a 1000 times, if I could live on the water that would be "paradise". But after 15 months on a boat traveling up and down the Mississippi River with out Marla Jane by my side... Be careful what you wish for...
