Once Upon A Time

Posted on 9:25 PM by jr cline | 0 comments

When we were young.
 
It grieves my spirit to look back.   

Look back I must.  I have a lot of pictures to scan and store.  I won't be keeping the prints.
I'm disappointed with the quality of this scan.  I'll try some others. I think it is the print and not the scanner though.

 The tree was 123 inches around where it was measured.
That wasn't at the base.
    At this point they are around 10 feet off the ground.
  
   
    Some of the wood will be used for firewood.

Back at the Hut

We are all safely back from an exciting week in New Orleans.

Waiting on the train 
  

It was awesome!

 
Jesse playing with his Power Rangers on the train
  
I thought settling back into 'everyday' life would be a little difficult (it usually is).

But it wasn't this time.  I got up and went to work.  I was a bit behind and played catch up most the day.  The time passed quickly and it was time to leave.
  
 Push to open
  
There was a lot to do after work too.  I had a huge pile of mail at the post office.  I sorted through all that and I picked up some food so I could cook supper.   I made red beans and rice.  That seemed an appropriate after NOLA supper.  As a bonus there are leftovers for another day.

The food in the dining car was excellent as usual. 
  
A lot happened at work while I was gone.  I'm glad I missed it.  Several people were suspended and/or fired.  It will be interesting to see how things shake out over the next few weeks.

Life is full of strange things.  When I got back I read an ecard from my ex.  She said she made a horrible mistake all those years ago, loves me, and wants me back.  I can't fix that for her.  She went out to dance and it seems she is finally having to pay the band.  I'm sorry she can't find a love to suit her.  I know that pain.  I lived with it a long time.  Finally I accepted my status and now I happily journey along alone or with my friends.  I fully expect to metamorph to the next stage of life alone somewhere on the side of the road in the back of an RV.

A Super Saturday

Posted on 7:50 PM by jr cline | 0 comments

Today was a fun day.  It went kind of as planned but took some twists and turns along the way.
 
Christy, Jeremy, and Jesse came over this morning for a visit.  Jeremy was going to cut firewood from the huge tree that fell in the back woods. Christy, Jesse, and I played in the yard.  We left Jeremy with the tree and went back to Christy's house.  She got ready to go shopping.  Jeremy came home.  Christy and I went to town to pick up a few things.
    
Last stop on the shopping trip was the grocery store.   We didn't buy peanut butter, but I took the picture anyway.

   While Christy fixed supper, I played with Jesse in his room. 
  
  The last picture I took today was of these two Angry Birds.  They look kind of crazed and dangerous in the dim light.  In reality they are fuzzy slippers.

Road Rash

Posted on 8:00 PM by jr cline | 1 comments


My teacher/friend fell down today and got up with some road rash on his nose. He wouldn’t hold hands. He thought he was a big boy and could do it on his own.
When Christy told me about it, all the times I thought I was a big boy and didn’t need to hold hands suddenly flashed in my mind. Not as individual events, but one big flash.
Seems this lesson has been taught to me over and over and over and over. Why I keep forgetting how much I need to hold hands beats me. I keep thinking I’m a big boy and can do it by myself. How stupid can one person be?

DO OVER

Illusion's  teacher/friend fell down today and got up with some road rash on Illusion's nose. Illusion wouldn’t hold hands. Illusion thought Illusion was a big boy and could do it on Illusion's own.
When Illusion told Illusion about it, all the times Illusion thought Illusion was a big boy and didn’t need to hold hands suddenly flashed in Illusion's mind. Not as individual events, but one big flash.
Seems this lesson has been taught to Illusion over and over and over and over. Why Illusion keeps forgetting how much Illusion needs to hold hands beats Illusion. Illusion keeps thinking Illusion is a big boy and can do it by Illusion's self.

How stupid can one Illusion be?

Dichotomy?  What dichotomy?
