I stood on the porch watching the rain
Feeling the spray from the raindrops
On my face, my bare…

The evening air has a nip in it. Oh, how I love the cool evening air in the fall time. To make it more special, I put on a nice sweather to make it feel cosier.
Next, I fill the coffeemaker with water, coffee... I'm going to make hot coffee to enjoy. I'll take my cup outside to sit at the table on the porch.

I was sitting at my computer one evening about six years ago. I was home alone, Skip was driving long-distance. I heard the happy sounds of Tommy, his wife and the children. They knew to just unlatch the gate to come on in... just to be careful not to let the dogs out. I trusted them, knew they'd be very careful.. so, I sat there.

I am sitting here at my desk, looking out the window of my mind. I don't see anything, yet... I know that whatever I want to see ... is there.

Until The Next Time... For Now My Mind Will Relax, Find Peace
This evening I held Tommy's Arctic Express jacket close to my heart. He used to be so proud of that jacket. He got it when he first began driving a tractor trailer years ago. It looked so nice on him. Now.... I have it, I wear it when I begin missing him, or when I'm cold.
I am missing Tommy this evening. I was thinking of his beautiful smile... when he turned one of those smiles on someone,…

Skip was standing at the counter, enjoying dipping his doughnuts in his hot coffee. I could see he was in another world... the world of tasting something so good!
Skip loves doughnuts. Not only loves doughnuts, he can make them. Skip can bake, cook with the best of them. These doughnuts passed the test... they were 'perfect'. Skip loves to tell me about how doughnuts are supposed to be made... don't overproof them, don't over-cook... under-cook them.

Yesterday evening we stopped at a service station, got out of the pickup to go inside. Screaming... happy screaming filled the air behind us! We turned to look, saw a huge ferris wheel going 'round and 'round. The happy screams were coming from there! Skip and I turned to look at each other... for a moment we were children again. The fair! The fair's come to town! We were looking at a county fair....
We stood there to watch the different rides in motion. Happy colors…
