The Story Teller

People - especially as we age gracefully into golden years - love to tell the stories of way back when. For most this is an easy thing. For Rick, it takes a special kind of listener. He will only bring out those old things if you really care to hear them. You have to convince him that you really want to hear of how it was . . . .
So most won't get to know the days gone by in one man's past; but like fine wine ~ he reserves it only for the fortune few that care to hear about a most colorful past.
I'm blessed that I've come to know this very excellent man.

Been Away

It's been too long since I posted any pages ~ lame excuses, but excuses just the same. New pages coming soon as I set aside some time to scrap.

Farmers - sorta

I just love young people. Everything is a new adventure - even working in the vegetable bed. Of course, these two spend most time together jabbing, arguing, or just plain being onery with one another.

Freak Snow Storm

Brrrrrrr. We haven't seen snow like this in about 20+ years. I called Tim to see what he was doing.. 'building a snowman'. I was expecting a 5' man, but Tim never ceases to surprise. The weiner-dog had no problem playing in snow that was almost as deep as her 6". My camera found a cardinal wondering if I was going to refill the feeder today... brrrr. It's cold out there.

Meet Gunny

Gelica and Gunny had been official occupants for a couple of weeks. Being a 'cat' person I knew that he would eventually (maybe) figure out that he wasn't here for a visit or vacation. It was looking like a great place to live given the humes keep snacks in the main room. But after a serious scolding from his peep to 'leave the bird' alone, Gunny deemed his curiousity wasn't worth the trouble - besides it's a pretty scrawney looking bird with no thrill of a stalk-n-catch.

I found said cat making my desk the object of his nap-time while I worked on scrap pages. What better subject than Gunny for a page.
