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.

photo essay: what I did new years eve
1000 pieces a harbor in France my eyes are straining
puzzles are fun. I watched Dick Clark's show with my 10 year old and spooked him every few minutes to keep him awake. He swore he could make it, he did but not without my help. :) Happy New year my friend.
Puzzles are great!! not done any for awhile, need the younger eyes of my children now to place the pieces...many fond memories of many weeks the dining room table had been covered in pieces...
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.

Jigsaw puzzles - love 'em and hate 'em. A good one takes me a week to do and by the time I'm done all I want is my table back.
Happy New Year, here from Michele's
Looks like fun! Happy 2007!
