Putting It Down on Paper

I can’t say I have ever been very good at writing. My grades in English all the way through school will testify to that. Up until fairly recently, I have not even had the desire to write, so why all of a sudden the interest in it? It probably is due to various factors. I find that age may play a big factor in it. As all of us find out, the older we get the faster life passes us by, and my life is no exception. Due to that reason alone, I want to put a few things down on paper that have been swirling in my head for quite sometime. Are these areas of interest anything of an epiphany? Absolutely not, just topics that I have an interest in. Another reason for the sudden urge to write is the life God has Blessed me with. I have a wonderful wife, two wonderful kids and the four of us are thrown together on a ranch with numerous pets, and each one of us including our pets have a story to tell. Through the use of images and text I’ll do my best to chronicle some of our stories.

Martin Luther King

Martin Luther King fought for civil rights. What set him apart from those so called leaders today? His focus was not on “himself”, it was on others. His desire was not to be on the six o’clock news like Al Sharpton, or on the clothes he wore. No, it was a genuine interest in bringing equality to all. God granted equality to all men and women regardless of origin or color. Martin Luther King believed firmly in this. We all remember Reagan’s famous words of “tear down this wall”, so too was Martin Luther Kings belief, let there be no difference or wall between any of us. In spite of the fact of whether or not Monday should or should not be designated as a holiday, the lighter load it brings to traffic for one day, the son or daughter who celebrates being out of school, the MLK street that exists in every city, let us remember in our “own way” what MLK fought for and the hope that more individuals of his integrity exists in this great country of ours.

Sun hitting a Pecan tree at just the right time, produces beautiful depth with the shadows on the front of the hay barn.

Atlanta Garlands Arrive - St. Louis Ones to Follow

The Atlanta Garlands drove all day yesterday, through much of the evening and arrived just before midnight last night. Christy’s brother Steve, his lovely wife Julie and their girls, Kaitlin and Kassandra made the journey to our little town to catch up with family and celebrate the arrival of the new year.

Dawn brought sunny skies with cool temperatures. That didn’t stop Kaitlin and Kassandra from making the barn rounds early and reintroducing themselves to the barn tenants, since their last stay here two years ago. I met them at the front door with cereal bowls in hand after their early morning tour. A bowl full of Reese’s Puffs followed by Tom and Jerry on Cartoon Network and they were ready to go again. A busy first day.
