America is great – to that there’s no doubt. Yet you might not know what I’m talking about. It’s not for the splendors though they are quite plenty. It’s not for the riches though there are so many. It’s not for the history we all hold so dear. It’s not for the pretzels the bars or the beer. It’s Freedom of … Read moreWhy America is Great

For tortured hours she did spend, upon this seat for miles on end. Not one complaint or even three, a friend, of sorts, the DVD. Was always up for any thing, on the trip we took this spring. Be it Kin that we would meet, or sitting on a tractor seat. She seemed at ease … Read moreGrowing up goes Way too Fast

Our Spring was good for trees and grass, the pollen’s high but that will pass. Winter’s gone and none too soon, enjoy the warmth til’ Harvest Moon. A piece we own of our great earth, means more to us than it is worth. Quite small but thank our lucky stars, because no debt and it’s … Read moreOur Deck

There once was a time when I wished life along, racing to win or just to belong? From teen to adult not speedy enough, the waiting, alone, was really quite tough.

Time might stop but not for long, wish it would be I’d be wrong. She’ll grow to … Read moreJust Turned Three

A Guy should be able to “Toot” without scorn, a right that is his from the day he was born. It’s not without past and here is the rub, it’s been there as long as he’s carried a club. Defending his mate and being so brave, keeping monsters at bay and sharing his cave. A … Read moreToot & Belch

Stuffed Animal Quicksand – that’s what I see, surrounding that girl with love and much glee. Pink pachyderm – Elmo – and Barney to boot, that girl in the middle is really quite cute. The dog in the front has a very big nose, and Percy, the train, is so happy it shows. That girl … Read moreStuffed Animal Quicksand

Went to Wyoming – my 3rd birthday, relatives were there so a fine payday. Dressed for the part including my feet, in the Old Wild West that’s just how they greet. My dress was so pretty – my hair in pig tails, just needed my horse and some old lonesome trails. Had cake and ice … Read moreCowgirl Boots
