My Life in “Full Bloom”

April 18th, 2011 · 3 Comments · Historical, Perspective, Philosophical, Reflections, Spirituality, Uncategorized

I bought the painting, “Full Bloom,” of the old wood framed house 10 years ago because it reminded me so much of the house I grew up in out on the farm east of a typical west Texas town.  Yet, when my mom came to visit, she didn’t see any resemblance at all, and she [...]

Who Us? Gone Sailin’ – Part 2

November 20th, 2010 · 6 Comments · Humor, Perspective, Photos, Videos, Reflections, Stories, Tom & Me, Uncategorized

I ended last time with us getting to the boat to go sailing.  For one who was once a real sailor, I had somehow turned into a big scaredy cat.  Tom climbed all over the boat and around getting the lines to the pier off, getting the sails uncovered and getting those lines ready to [...]

Who, Us? Gone Sailin’!! – Part 1

November 16th, 2010 · 5 Comments · Friends, Humor, Perspective, Reflections, Stories, Tom & Me, Uncategorized

I DID it!! I took the plunge Saturday and christened Tom’s sailboat – Item 7 – with my lovely presence.  I also officially christened it another way, but I’ll get to that in a minute. He’s only had the boat three years, after all.  I had to make sure he could handle it well and [...]

“Das Boot” a/k/a “THE BOAT” – Epilogue

July 26th, 2010 · 5 Comments · Humor, Perspective, Reflections, Tom & Me

Tom is currently contemplating whether to take up a friend’s offer to let him come put “THE BOAT” in the water behind his house, which is located on a small lake with access to Lake Pontchartrain near Slidell.  He was thinking that he would do that as he took the boat out of the water [...]

“Das Boot” a/k/a “THE BOAT”

July 19th, 2010 · 2 Comments · Humor, Perspective, Stories, Tom & Me

I haven’t written about “THE BOAT” lately.  Oversight on my part.  Although, you have to admit there’s been a whole lot of other activity going on in our lives.  Like Tom’s 5 heart-bypasses March 31 and recovery.  My 1,750 mile trip to Texas and back.  Etc, etc. But, believe me, boat happenings have been ongoing [...]
