I wish she had taken a picture of you in the rain and yes, I do think dogs laugh at us.<br /><br />Jack, don't stop at PO and ask for stamps, they will think you are nuts. The stamps I collect are collected only at National Vistors centers and you must have a National Parks Passport book in which to "ink" stamp your booklet. I didn't have the heart to let you stop at a post office and inquire only to have them toss you out or sell you some collector's stamp, which I guess could be interesting too. <br /><br />Perhaps you can get work as a rainmaker?Sojourner's Moto Taleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02235661849993752840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32557834.post-88519658470128246982009-07-02T08:12:16.790-05:002009-07-02T08:12:16.790-05:00Dear Sharon:
Taking your cue, I got up at 4:30am ...Dear Sharon:<br /><br />Taking your cue, I got up at 4:30am this morning tio watch the sun rise. First discernable light was less than a half-hour later. I stood in the garden, bare feet on the cool slate, and said, "Rise sun, and bring light to my soul." <br /><br />As I chanted this, I looked upward. My eye socket made a nice bowl for the first of several thousand rain drops which were unleashed from the heavens by my words.<br /><br />I ran back to the house, only to find the door locked and the two dogs looking at me through the glass. I swear they were laughing. I was too. Leslie opened the door ten minutes later and asked if I was some kind of an idiot. What can I say? The evidence is in.<br /><br />I am leavinmg at dawn for my ride to Tennessee, in 11 days. Again taking your cue, I am going to stop at various post officesto get my stamps enroute.<br /><br />Fondest regards,<br /><br />Jack "r" Toad<br />Twisted RoadsJack Riepehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07531160098262862027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32557834.post-50154658349824914282009-06-30T07:00:35.425-05:002009-06-30T07:00:35.425-05:00Jim, you are indeed kind.

I have also admired your blog and photos! and how you've progressed with being a presence online. <br /><br />You're right about music--whether we are fans or not, we are sometimes touched and changed by it. There is a song by Randy Newman "Short People," that I have so many dislikes about but if I hear that song, I am humming it for the rest of the day--I'm embarrassed to say.<br /><br />Hey, Farrah changed (and educated) a lot of young boys and more than a few females wanted to be her! I just thought she had tons of spunk and I so enjoyed her kicking the keister(sp?) of bad men on the sliver screen! I hear that her poster is now garnering huge bucks on ebay!

I wasn't a big fan of Michael Jackson, but some of his music is spectacular and will stay in my head forever. And Farrah was undeniably a very beautiful woman. It may be a bit sexist to say this, but as a teeneger I remember some of my college chums had that poster of her in their dorm rooms.<br />Yet there was a sort of kind innocence to her that was just as appealing as her beauty.<br />Glad you posted the photos. The sunrise is a reminder to me that life will always continue on in spite of losses that are sufffered.cpa3485https://www.blogger.com/profile/00031439889267356735noreply@blogger.com
