Peace of Mind




For those who read this blog and think - this guy lives in Florida, gets to hit the beaches, sunshine year around, and has all his family within 15 miles, pay heed.  Raise the sound on your computer.  Does that sound like gentle waves on the white sand beaches not far from here?  Does that look like the rewards of retirement?  

 This all happened within 10 minutes of arrival.        






After this poor writer decided to issue ice cream to the little doll, this was how she responded - full of in-your-face victory.  

 Pay heed to this cautionary tale.  Don't do as I have done.  Save yourselves.

 
August.  August.  August.

 Fine Print:  

 Ayla is a great kid but she is 3.  She acts just like me sometimes when I want ice cream, and I'm a lot older.  Her behavior n these snippets is not how she is most of the time.  I don't want my daughter mad at me.)

Summer Swim

It's Monday and the start of another work week.  Except for me.  I have the week off because the parents of my daycare charges are taking the week off, too. This is one of those wordless posts I love on Mondays so I can put my laziness in full view of loyal readers.  These pics need no words.  Why muddy the waters?   They were taken at the pool at Sinkhole Estates aka Death Valley.  The nice thing about this pool is it is heated in winter.  If one must find positives in one's situation, I suppose that is one.  But, please, no more.

Flashback Friday

Class, Or Lack Thereof The Dwight Vice gravestone in Oquawka, Illinois. I bring this old chestnut out every so often just to remind me that class is classless.  Dwight Vice was killed in his home near Oquawka in 2001.  It was one of those things that can generate crime:  two guys thought Dwight had a lot of money stashed at home because of his pot-selling sideline to supplement his fishing job.   Not really one of those big drug deals gone-bad things.  Marijuana was, according to the trial, about the only stuff Dwight sold.   But these two guys barge into the house and killed Dwight and attempted to kill his 11 year old kid, Darryl, before they took off with what money they could find.   His son, now 23, was stabbed in the back and left for dead.  He survived and is wheelchair bound and has undergone several surgeries to repair his wounds.  He will be paralyzed for life.   None of this is pleasant.  Reading the facts of the murder and attempted murder are most unpleasant
