What You See Is What You Get


I'm thinking about where I have been, and what I have seen in the past couple of days. Made a three hour drive from Highpoint to the ocean, stayed the night in a place named Southport. Awoke early to a windy morning and stepped outside to walk along the water. Something was floating towards me, so I went to the truck to get the binoculars for a better look; it was a white zippered canvas bag. Where I stood on the bulkhead, I would need a gaff to grab the bag. The bag drifted several yards to snag on some rocks just where the wall tapered, two easy steps down from bulkhead and I grabbed it.
The markings on the wet bag read; "Demo Safety Pac" on one side, and "Life Jackets" in big red letters on the other. While carring the bag back to the deck to finish my coffee, I stoped and looked through a clump of clover for a shamrock. I was thinking a bag of money would be nice... no luck there tho. The contents of the tote: two life jackets, one throwable lifesaver, an orange whistle with lanyard, and a fire extinguisher.
Maybe it's true that you can take the rat out of the river, but never the river out of the rat, I had to smile at what Spirit had sent to me. I'm a totem believing kind of gal, funny, the name of the river...Cape Fear.

Time To Love



Look at this old picture. What was their story? I can almost smell the water in the wind, hear their laughter, and feel the love they had for one another.

I get the same warm feeling when looking at my own family pictures. To step back in time in my mind, and experince the joy of days gone by.

Mommas


All those who momma was a drunk raise their hands. As a kid I didn't understand, I had to growup to forgive her. I would not, nor couldn't have chosen a better momma, she was the best...even if she was a drunk.
To those selfcentered folk who can't understand what pain can do to a person...growup!

The Blind Date

The want of power is no free lunch.

Cold Reality


Twenty-two below zero, no water, electric iffy, but we made it through; Pirate Jenny can't hurt me.

Lost In The Badlands

Fraz Marc


This is one of my favorite painters.
Now I'm going to clean the oven, and then wash the truck.
