This is my fishing kayak that I use at the coast. Wish I was there today !

The Best Food in the World, No Joke!

One of the best things about getting to visit Chuck and Marylee on the farm was the unbelievable food. Grandmother is without a doubt the best cook I have ever known. Every meal was a major spread complete with all the trimmings. It wasn't that the food was fancy, it was just good basic southern home cooking. Now that I have a family of my own, I can really appreciate the skill and hard work it takes to bring all of that to the table at once. I really believe that part of reason that I find myself in the baking business today is that I was exposed to such great food out there on the farm.
From the black eyed peas to the fried yellow squash to the fried chicken with biscuits and gravy. The hot rolls, the fried potatoes, the red beans, the fried okra. What about the desserts. The cookies at Christmas time, the Italian cream cake and who could forget the Army cake! Another great memory is waking up on a cold winter morning to the smell of Marylee cooking breakfast. The smell of fried eggs, sausage, biscuits and gravy, and black coffee all mingling together. The hot biscuits with butter and a big spoonful of plum jelly. I am very grateful to have been a participant in those wonderful meals that Marylee constructed on that red Formica table that sloped to the west. I am curious what were all of your favorites ?

Guess Gary didnt get a bear tag either.

* Talked with Gary in August, and he said,

he did not get picked in the pool, to go deer

hunting this fall. Said he was going to try to

get a bear ticket. If that failed, he would just

tend the fire and cook for Shannon.

OOPS! " Damn the bad luck."
"Don't forget the veggies and plenty of fruit."

"Please God, help this kid be a good animal today."

A ROSE IS A ROSE. . .

Just a little glow from the dark side.

If you didn't like the last one then maybe this rose will send a glow from my heart to each of yours. Hope all are fine, and that you are enjoying this nice weather. Still hoping that you all can find the time, to send me the emails of the other family members??????? Take care and have a good day.

TIME LINE OF THE UNIVERSE

Heard this on NPR and thought I would share it with you all.

The time line of the universe begins with the Big Bang and goes to Now. Walk the equivalent length of 100 yards. For every single step one takes it equals 70 million years, now walk the entire 100 yards. When you get to the end, you will be 65 million years ago. This is when the dinosaurs became extinct. Take one more step and it will be modern day. Now imagine that at the end of the distance there is mounted a single human hair. On the left side of the hair, cave men where drawing the first known cave paintings and on the right side of the hair, is this moment as you are reading this (.) We are a sec, on a sec, of a second.

For those times when one can lose perspective, or those other times when it is time to take someone on a little walk with you.

Spare Time

We went 70 miles out on a head boat out of Galveston. No big fish but we saw a lot of really big sharks !
