the kiss

a month ago i went down to pensacola florida, a place of many fond memories of my uncle paul. well his son jason, a good friend of mine as well, got married to a wonderful gal, natalie. it was a fun affair, with many families which is a benefit of being in this divorce era... we laughed and danced and celebrated on friday, witnessed a beautiful marrige "sealed with a kiss" and then celebrated more.

...is broke.
dante saw his first NFL football game at 2.5 yrs old, a quick start for some. it was so nice to get my beautiful friends down from boone to share a weekend in the cabin and then take in a little birdball. life is better with friends.

she says wake up

finding my way, after a jump into an unfamiliar pool, to float and keep my head above water. my head being my soul, my being.
swimming is next.

creekridge

i spent the fourth weekend with my NC family, in the little town of hotsprings, nc... on the river in a little tree dwelling. we played in the river took a soak in the hot spring water and mastered the art of camp fires in the rainy weather...."fire starter". great to be with friends and the especially see the little guy growing up and attacking nature.

rubber ducky

i wet on a journey trying to find a secluded pool/waterfall and after driving a bit and a bit more on a dirt road all the way to the base of the falls (i was hoping this part would be a hike) i found helton creek falls at the bottom of a groovy neighborhood of cabins in the hills. after a short hike to the falls pool, i found that the word secluded should not apply... at least on the weekends and that it was being used as a bath of sorts.

flying mice

such beautiful pests... my cabin is a play zone for some of the most amazing moths i have seen in my life. brilliant green ones, fuzzy ones, huge and small, they are all over the place and little do they know of the fury that exists in my house. "dooby", she has substituted her desire for mice with moths and she is relentless. a cute and sad experience at the same time.... life.

wooddeco

with the help of matt pyburn i got everything moved into the house last monday and unpacked/hung tuesday just in time for an early start at work.. dooby likes the place and will utilize it more than me it seems.

insomniac

the older i get the more of my friends and acquaintances have a hard time sleeping, for all types of proclaimed reasons. personally, with my few experiences and beliefs, it has everything to do with stress and the worries of an adult life... oh to be young again when you can sleep through nearly anything:)
