Amazing what a little quiet time can do for the imagination. All the medical crisis we have encountered in 2014 have drained my strength and my creativity leaving me bereft of ideas for Examiner articles. I have struggled to come up with enough ideas this year to meet my one article a month minimum. However … Continue reading Quiet Time

Fox and Deer
Interesting how things work. For weeks I have been seeing deer in the little woods on the way to the coffee shop and the day I decide to start bringing the camera along the deer disappear. Undaunted, I have been taking the camera along faithfully as I push the wheelchair on our errands. It finally … Continue reading Fox and Deer
Making the Best of Things
Memorial Day weekend, the unofficial start of summer. As usual the skies have opened up with a deluge of rain as if heaven itself is mourning the loss of so many brave men and women in battle. For me, today is day four of Making the Best of Things (MTBOT). Tricia's rehab is coming along … Continue reading Making the Best of Things
Rehab
It has been a long two months. Surgery was required to relieve pressure on Tricia's spine that was being caused by a cancer tumor. The surgery was a success and we are celebrating a miracle that she still has feeling and use of her legs. However she can't walk yet and I am pretty much … Continue reading Rehab
Easter

But as fate would have it, about the time I was ready to drift off, my neighbor was getting ready to see some company off and … Continue reading Blood Moon
April Snow
It must be something I have carried forward from my childhood. Whenever it snows I just have to get out in it. I believe the love for snow may have been passed down from my father as well. I remember during the worst blizzards Dad would make the anticipated announcement, "We're going to get milk.". … Continue reading April Snow
On Fasting
This morning I pondered the road ahead, life after the hospital and I know we are facing the most difficult battle of our lives together. Filled with grief at difficult choices that will need to be made, I was not able to eat and I looked up for strength from the Almighty. Bible verses began … Continue reading On Fasting
Spring Again
The storms of early April have finally abated and sunshine has returned to Ute Pass. I am getting a late start today and even though I knew that all the wildlife would have already finished their morning feeding and bedded down for a nap, I need the exercise and the climb up the mountain as … Continue reading Spring Again
