Posted: 2/7/2008 6:43:56 AM | Behind the mountain’s peak
Rain falls in measured tempo
Mist rises higher than the trees
Just as many, many years ago
Destiny is beyond our control
We live as only we know how
We see ourselves as immortal
We overlook what time will allow
So as you watch the next rain come in
Will you accept what life will present
Will you leave behind a legacy
Or will you always wonder where tomorrow went……

Posted: 2/11/2008 5:33:01 AM | Morning all,
Heading back
To my old stomping ground
A day in Wisconsin
I’m eastern bound
Need a spirit quest
A day for just me
One with the forest
To allow my mind to go free

Posted: 2/18/2008 6:38:52 PM | Evening all,
Been a tough week
Hard and long
Sister in the hospital
They don't know whats wrong
High fever and lung fluid
Vomiting with lack of rest
But nothing is showing up
In any of the test
Could be her cancer
Or the treatments there of
Could be mixture
Of all of the above
So we wait.....

Posted: 2/18/2008 8:37:52 PM | Time of life we indure
Time that possesion WE all share
Life that one moment shared from birth
Cancer be the scare/scar/curse
Fight as we must be that as it may
Fearlous in our beleif
Hold her hand,talk of things shared
Whisper to her softley YOU both have time to share
Give her reaason to Fight! | |

We got her back home
She's doing better again
But just when we thought
We had found some Zen
Another sister needs biopsy's
Won't know for a few more days
Life seems so upside down
I walk in a complete haze....

Posted: 2/21/2008 6:26:47 AM | Good morning all,
I just wanted to say thanks to all of you that have helped me through this last few months!
You have been the strength I've needed!!! Bless you all!!!!
A New Understanding
Dreamt last night, of warm winds
Caressing and soothing the side of my face
Walking through the flourishing forest
In a far off, yet familiar, distant place
I could hear the chiming of the birds
Calling out to meet their mate
Ruffling and spreading their tail feathers
Nature’s dance of destiny and fate
I could smell the moister of the moss
Blanketing the emerald woodland floor
Peace overcame me in this escape
A destination, without sickness or war
I could feel the mist off the river nearby
Which the Zephyr carried directly to me
There was a new sense of understanding life
In everything I could see
I woke up refreshed and clear minded
My spirit was renewed by the dream quest
It awoke and reminded me
Of how truly I am blessed………
Sam

Mmmmmy, Thanks!!! Loved the write!!!
Lost Sage
Walk with me
Along the river shore
Gaze upon the sight
Of the eagles who soar
Remember the peace
Felt within your heart
A moment, with out care
In life’s, ceremony of art
Inhale the clarity
Of time lost as you age
Retrieve your inner child
Your long elapsed sage
Hold my hand
As you close your eyes
Trust your spirit
That renders you wise……

Posted: 2/28/2008 1:15:01 PM | I was gonna write something really amazing on my thread
but, I smoked one and decided to write here instead
I only have about ten minutes
so I thought I'd write about biscuits
I haven't even made them yet
needed a biscuit recipe and asked "the brown baker" for some baking powder magic
(bet he giggles if you poke him in the stomach)
I sure as hell giggled when I tasted his cookie recipe
decadent...I baked a lemon cake just to make more icing
redneck thing
or something
ha!
crap..that took 12 minutes..
something is gonna be 2 minutes raw
I'll tell you later about the biscuits
I've still got to let the flour thaw

Posted: 3/7/2008 1:58:51 PM | And just how did those biscuits turn out Dog? LOL
Soul Searching
These last few weeks
Jumbled thoughts
Come in streaks
Wanted a sign
Of what's to come
Or just the lyrics
To the song I hum
Looked for the sunrise
But it snowed instead
So I put on my jammies
And got back in bed

Dog, Awesome song, I got Fishing Fever so bad right now!! I can’t wait for the opener!!!
Sun is bursting
Temps in the forty’s
Heat wave upon us
Coats peeling off the Shorty’s
Doing the two step
Down the wet pavement
I gots the fishing fever
Can’t hold it’s containment
Want all the ice off the waters
Need to reel one in
I thrive for my spring time
Was forever since it’s been

Nothin' better
sittin' in the sunshine
lettin' it all go
smilin'
knowin' why
no reason!
Just fishin'
its a good thing!
Watchin' it all

sailboats and birds
Life if not for this
what is it for?
Relax...
kick off the shoes
Throw in a pole
let it all
roll ...roll on by!

Mmmmmm, nice write!!!!! Hugs!!!
Pickles, I hear ya hun!!! All is well here, how about there?
Melting
Each day I watch
The inches of snow melt away
The trees are budding out
More mud each day
Shades of green
Breaking through the sod fields
New found streams in every ditch
Funny how much the snow yields
Unbeatable scent in the air
The birth of spring is near
But Mother Nature holds the cards
It’s what she can deal, I fear…..
Here’s to hoping
The snow will end
And soon will have
Our gardens to tend…….

Posted: 3/14/2008 10:34:59 AM | we have oak pollen dangling off of every tree
it falls off in a kind of bally string
greenish yellow dust covers everything
only a good downpour keeps it from falling
and all of the trees have that fresh green leaf glow
the weeds are thriving, but the grass is still slow
that same downpour will make it grow
then I'll be writing about pushing the mower
I thought my giant rubber tree got killed in the freeze
I cut it back to an eight foot stump without any leaves
you can butcher the fvck out of them without fear of killing
(I studied up..did you know these things can get up to two hundred feet?)
it already has about a thousand red branches breaking free
never did get around to planting the seeds for the garden
now I think I'll just set some plants in
just go down to the flea market for Vidalia onions
and fresh tomatoes straight out of Ruskin
the corn should be in from Homestead
small sweet yellow and white ears that you butter on bread
it's as good as it gets
the kids eat it raw if you let them
(hungry yet?)
you won't be able to drive a mile through the country
without seeing a sign that says "pick your own peas"
I know that blackeyed's are a southern thing
but, darlin..you gotta try these
the farmers sell their stuff for nearly nothin'
down here in central florida people are hurtin'
and store brand juice is up to $4.59 a gallon
I've learned to live like the migrant mexicans
you don't waste a thing and know where to shop
don't ask "why so cheap? is it hot?"
do ask "would you take less? I've only got a ten spot"
that's when you find out if they're serious about selling or not
gotta do that just to survive nowdays
save up money to buy gasoline
which is going in the truck and the boat monday or tuesday
just rubbin it in, darlin...yeah, I know I'm mean

Posted: 3/17/2008 6:53:34 AM | Good Morning All,
LOL Dog, That was great!!!!!
Happy St. Patty's Day!!!!!!
So it’s snowing here again
A winter storm tonight
Yet I sit in my garage
Fixing my fishing poles just right
Got the tackle box cleaned out
New line on each rod
Waiting for all the waters
To be done being thawed
Can’t be to much longer
I’ll go completely insane
I need to feel the heat again
And go dancing in the rain….

The snow has come
4 inches in all
Now is melting
Tomorrow Spring will call
Tulips will sprout
Sumac will turn
The sun will rise
New life we'll learn
Buds of the leaves
Unfold with grace
And finally the warmth
We shall embrace
Come the Robins
To nest once more
Next the to river
Above the shore
Soon the forest
Will have a canopy
And beautiful Nature
Is all we'll see...........

Posted: 3/23/2008 12:25:46 PM |  happy easter
hi darlin, thanks for the text
I bet you laughed and wondered if I even knew how to check the message
cajun got a new rod in his easter basket
open faced reel and the pole's telescopic
he's been sittin on the boat practicin
gotta love it
so far I've cut out a dozen crow's nests
thank god he's tired of castin
now he's huntin butterflies with the dipnet
he's all excited 'cause I told him next time we go fishin I'd let him use a hook
lol
yanno..
I've been having him practice casting with a harmless cork
I'd like to take him fishin for snook
but, I don't wanna put the aluminum boat in salt
Kinda anal, I know
gonna get over that, though
that's why I bought this big deck boat
it's even got a poddy so the girls can go
that's always good for a laugh
it's either that, or over the side with an ass
hahaha...girls are funny about that
don't wanna accidently pee on a bass
sooner or later
"I've really got to go" takes over
shyness overtaken by nature
about then I make a joke about hearing them tinkle
I betcha got a houseful, darlin
thanks for thinkin about us
I just pulled a lemon pie out of the oven
I went simple
not traditional
it'll still be good, though
ham and a couple boxes of scalloped potatoes
a few fresh ears of corn and sliced cukes with herbed tomatoes
that's about it
well, and a loaf of bread made by jesus
cajun said something earlier about liking gold
and I made a crack about him studying judism
nobody got it
I chuckled though
the bigot in me
sometimes I'm the only one who thinks I'm funny
'cept your hubby
ain't he an irish catholic?
..and a black one at that
the kids go back to school here, tomorrow
spring break is the first week of april
that should go over well
they're doing that stupid testing down here
see if a kid can multiply after chewing the head off of a chocolate rabbit
I just can't wait to find out the statistics
apparently politicians have never been parents..
happy easter, darlin :hug | |

Posted: 3/25/2008 8:43:54 AM | Morning all,
Happy belated Easter!! Dog, I think you should put the boat in the salt and take those younglings fishing!!! LOL
Well the first 3 days of Spring
And it snowed everyday
I got fishing fever
And it isn’t going to work this way
So today we have some warmth
It’s 40 degrees outside
But the rain is on the way
It’s a fricken rollercoaster ride
We got people fallen through the ice
How much dumber do ya gotta be
To view the puddles on the top
And know the future you’ll see
So here I sit and whistle
Washing the salt off my car
Vacuuming the sanded floors
That was dragged in off the tar
Wiping the finger prints off the windows
And the candy wrapper off the seat
Thinking of new things to do
While I wait for the heat……

Posted: 4/1/2008 11:08:52 AM | Afternoon all,
Aprils Fools Day
Yeah, Minnesota got the joke
7 inches of that while Sh*t
Very funny Mother Nature
It’s enough to pitch a fit
Car doors iced shut
Took a screwdriver to get in
With heavy snow on top
Took me two hours to win
Finally got it started
As the temps are rising
And as I watch it melt away
The weather here is always surprising
By Thursday,
It’ll all be gone
Back up to the 50’s
Life goes on…….

Posted: 4/10/2008 7:09:31 AM | Morning all,
So I thought
I’d have more time
To write this year
To sit and rhyme
But as you see
I was wrong
My mind is shorter
My weeks are long
Been recovering
Kitchen & living room chairs
One of those projects
No patience bares
After the first hour
I didn’t comprehend
What I was thinking??
When I started to mend
But now I’m done
So no more tricks
My fingers are blistered
With countless pricks
But it all appears great
And it’s a refreshing look
Yet, I’ll never forget
How long it took…….

Posted: 4/13/2008 9:02:52 AM | lol..should have been here when I took all the lids off that bassboat and tried
to cut all the corners so the carpet looked factory.
Aluminum..
had to glue everything down.
wrapped around
then inside too
upon attempting the first one I knew I was screwed
I should have just dyed the special marine carpet
it's thinner so it's easy to work with
my ass
I was thinking of using the boat to pot plants
it took for fricking ever
but by the ninth one I got clever
because to start with I had no patterns
once you jerked the old stuff off it fell apart
stencil the lid on the expensive carpet with a marker
guess and say fvck it!
I had just as good of luck
then I went to the auction and blew 1500 on the boat
just glad to not have to look at it anymore
fvcking eyesore
lol you remember when I did those lids for two months  | |
