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.

It's right not to forget them
i am happy to invite like minded blogers to join us as we remember INDIVIDUALS each by name and biographical info, on the fifth anniversary of the most terrible day in America. Go sign up, then leave me a comment. Do it
wow..thank you for leading me to this site....it will be such an honor to pay tribute to these men and women who gave their lives for our freedom...(many of whom, by the way, I knew personally and attended their memorial services)..this day is never easy for me...
I signed up for this a little while back. Such a wonderful idea, as I'm sure that individuals get lost in the big list of the names of the victims. I'm a bit overcome every time I try to work on my post, though.
Must remember to publicize this...(the project, not my incompetence)
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.

Thanks for your visit to my blog. You have a nice one, yourself. It was an honor to sign up for this memorial.
I noticed in your profile that you like the book, "State of Fear". I am currently reading that one myself and am really enjoying it.
