Poem from Marrianne

The snail at the edge of the road

inches forward, a trim gray finger

of a fellow in pinstripe suit.

He's burdened by his house

that has to follow

where he goes. Every inch,

he pulls together

all he is,

all he owns,

all he was given.

The road is wide'

but he is called

by something

that knows him

on the other side.

All,

We are now in Colorado. Here are some great pictures that I took when we took the areil tramway up the mountain in Estes Park. Most of them were the best shots of my life, and most of them were of ground squirrls eating peanuts from kevin's hand. Enjoy! The pictures are on my new web log (blog) at

It is spring and my thoughts have turned to traveling..

That is what my retirement dreams are about ..

What's the use of setting in your apartment by yourself...

But I have a lot of details to take care of ..before that happens

This is for real.. this is what dreams are made of

Determination and self respect..

 

and belief in your ability to make it happen
