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.

redoing the front room
long overdue for fresh paint and badly in need of a dose of color and personality, mom's room is getting a makeover. I did this on Sunday, and the weather was warm enough to open one window a bit for ventilation. I also did a massage for my friend, Lisa.
Looks very nice David.Did you do the whole room in one day? In India it would take longer. First we scrape the flakes and marks off - fill up the uneven surfaces with putty etc., then apply one coat ,after it dries we apply another coat, ours are brick and cement walls. On wood it goes faster i suppose.
When are you leaving for FL? I thought you were already there?
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.
