Where seeds of thought have room to grow

Yes, we've been married for 49 "Friday the 13th"s now, starting with our wedding day. Tom is the one keeping count. This afternoon he greeted me with "Happy 49th Anniversary!" I don't know how he does it – I can barely keep track of my age these days, but it makes me feel good that…

Finding just what you've been looking for at a price you can afford on Craig's List. Tom must have realized I was never going to give up on my dream of a library. I'm sure he was just as tired of seeing dozens of boxes of books lining the downstairs walls as I was frustrated…

On a summer morning in 1981, I stumbled up the stairs and into my condo after a twelve-hour night shift, turned on the television, plopped on the floor, and watched the fairy-tale wedding of Diana and Charles. Despite the cynicism of my 22 years, I guess I believed in the fairy-tale, and must have…

I watched her glide from one end of the hollow to the other, riding the gusty wind currents like a surfer rides a wave, shifting ever so slightly to stay in the drift. She went all the way from my left to my far right without a single flap of her wings. Beautiful. I don't…

I've mentioned before how acrobatic my little Belle is, that I thought she must be descended from circus dogs… Now I believe it more than ever! Would you believe she has learned to stand and walk just on her hands, er, front paws? (Where's Ellen's number?) Nah, not really. It's April Fool's Day, remember? This is…

Backpacking for days in the semi-wilderness of Big Bend, just Tom and Daniel … That's how they've spent the past several spring breaks, except for one, sharing moonlight, sunlight, water and a tent … and engraving memories in their hearts they can share forever. Memories like this sunrise they witnessed from a cliff, waiting in…

I've been unplugged most of today, spending time with my weary travelers, enjoying Daniel's photos from Big Bend and soaking up the sunshine. (I'll post a few of his photos later – he got some great ones!) Now Tom's not-so-patiently waiting for me to watch a movie, so I promised this would be a quick…

Wildflowers are waking up, dotting the caliche roadside. Mostly yellow for now, although Tom said he spotted some small blue ones. (He cheats – he has bifocals and can wear his glasses all the time.) So yesterday morning I switched camera lenses and turned my attention from the treetops, where I'd been searching for birds,…

I can't believe it's already Friday again, and I haven't yet mentioned what a fantastic weekend I had… a week ago! It was a weekend with friends, and that's always wonderful, but what made this even better is having friends meet friends meet friends… It started simple enough. Shari and Robert made plans to come…
