Peaceful and Stressful

The rains came Friday evening and this Saturday morning had that fresh smell to it.

The pressure was on to finish something important Saturday. But first I had a little fun with the family. We had an afternoon together and a great lunch from Bare Bones. The grandchildren played, the children took turns taking care of the mobile ones while we took turns holding the baby.

What a special time in life. It’s just a marvel to feel those little fingers squeeze mine.

So just after they left to return home, I sat down to work on a speech about 5pm, and the power went out from the high winds we were having. 5 hours later it’s restored and I was back to work.

It’s going to be a long night.


Random Thoughts of the Day

  • When you visit your loved ones resting place, it’s both calming and upsetting.
  • I’ve got to take a picture of Cheetos in a taco shell.
  • There is a limit to stress. It’s called the breaking point.
  • I’m not going to celebrate till it’s here, but I see some warmer weather headed out way later this week.

With a lifetime and a half in the Newspaper industry I'm preparing for my retirement career as an Artist, Writer, Photographer and Video content provider. I'm a proud father of two wonderful children and I'm still married to the first girl I fell in love with and probably only one that would have me.
