This is my place for writing and reflecting on life here in the mountains. Close to the sky, close to my children and family and most certainly feeling the closeness of God my Savior.

Pray for the brave firefighters who will fight this all night, and tommorow as of Sunday 60 percent contained - which is really good There are thirteen helicopters dropping water today.
it jumped from 500 acres to 1000 overnight and it is moving up the slope - we live over the ridge of these mountains to the left of the smoke, all is well at 7:40 am
at 12:52 this fire is 12% contained and moviing slowly due to light winds and higher humidity thanks to a hurricane off of Cabo. its a good day for firefighting, we will hope they make the best of it.
Living life, higher at 7000 feet elevation. Where the smell of pines, a distinct nip in the air, the sunset and sunrise displays of color and light fill your soul and set your spirit soaring. From high atop the mountains, nowhere near the city, I think, I write, I try to make you laugh. It is just me, my oxygen deprived brain and my bird and squirrel friends.
I am a lover of God, and I am a lover of life. My three wonderful children help me be a better man, and I consider fatherhood my most important role. These kids have made my life meaningful and filled with beauty. Nothing compares to them or gets between us.
My mom lived 91 years and as youngest I was privileged to make sure she was comfortable and safe in her own home, was never alone, had plenty of friends and family coming around. She knew, before she passed away, how much we kids appreciated all she did for us over the many years.
I am the youngest of five. I have ADD and it makes me fun, or irritating, depending on who you ask.
Most of all I am real, so this blog has fun aspects and then serious writings, too. You get both, for one click of the mouse.
