Sky Watch Friday

A picture taken when life was simple and the pain was in his back not his heart. In the morning we will be boarding a plane to Vegas to see our son marry...a time when we should be light of heart and the tears should be falling from happiness. We will need all the strength we have to make it through this weekend for our son.

Cold

The bitter cold assaults my soul

Takes my breath away.

Sheets of ice blanket my life

Please uncover me.

Does Anyone Have an Answer?

I stood watching the seconds of the timer tick away and wondered if my heart was going to stop when it hit zero. How can you be in such pain and your heart still beat?

Lucy is Going on Hiatus

We often are our own worst enemies. I know that is true of myself...but this time the collateral damage is extensive. I am in a fight for my life. My health is fine, but everything I know and love is in danger and I am responsible for it.

With that being said, I am going to give it my all to do what I can to repair the damage. At this time it looks unlikely, but if that God you all talk about exits...I beg you to pray for my family and those I have hurt...they will need it.

In the meantime, postings will be sparse. But I have made such good friends here I hate to let you all go...so I will check on you occasionally or post a picture here and there.

Again, if your God be willing, this won't be the end.

Let Me Introduce...Little Lucy!

Thirty some years ago the hubby came to own this work of art through the fine art of bartering. He had a bag of...well it was the 70's and someone had her. A trade was made. Then he found himself desiring a bag of...well it was the 70's. His brother in law had what he wanted and thought this work of art would make a good trade. He then became her owner.

She has now found her way back to us...and NO! there were no bags of anything involved...it is not the 70's.

She's petite. She's skinny.

She's cute. She's sexy.

She's understated. She's powerful.

And she is MINE!

I just have to convince him...anyone know where I can find a bag of.....

While walking on a very cold January day, I heard them long before I saw them...

Can you count them all?

Bondage

I look at this picture and have to laugh. Look at those eyes and that grin! This boy is absolutely full of everything that is wonder, awe, and joy mixed with a bit of rotten, temper and strong headedness.

Papa took him to the grocery store the other day. The toy handcuffs went along. Somewhere during the adventure, the boy of his own volition, attached himself to the grocery cart via the handcuffs. Papa didn't mind...this young man is often difficult to keep track of.

Oh but the looks! So...what does Papa say when a certain woman appeared appalled at the situation..."You know if you behave better, next time we won't have to do this." And out the door the dynamic duo went!
