Illusion

October 17, 2016

Some people seem to be dealt hands with only aces. They drive fancy cars and live in exotic places. Look a bit closer and you’re bound to see. A life of luxury is not all it’s reported to be. For everyone has their ups and downs…those days when the deck is stacked against them. We […]

‘Coach told us that sports…like life, are not always fair. No matter how hard you prepare, there is no control over the final outcome. He said that ‘losing hurts but there’s always tomorrow and a second chance.’ ‘Since mom and dad divorced two years ago, coach has always been the one I rely on after […]

Unbelievable

October 8, 2016

What young player hasn’t counted down the clock 3…2…1, he shoots, he scores? Kids all over this great land imagining they are Jerry, Pistol, Magic, or Seth launching the buzzer beater as imaginary fans go wild. A very young cowboy will always remember the greatest last second shot in Rockhurst College history. The score was […]

Belief

October 8, 2016

Sunrise…sunset…may we never forget that in each one there is a clue… a secret in the splendor of every single hue ‘Let there be light,’ You spoke into the great unknown, that one day it would dawn on us that… never do we sail alone

Loyalty

October 6, 2016

“He is my other eyes that can see above the clouds; my other ears that hear above the winds. He is the part of me that can reach out into the sea. He has told me a thousand times over that I am his reason for being; by the way he rests against my leg; […]

Hmmmmm

This photo was taken as the ashes of famed golfer Arnold Palmer were flown over his hometown of Latrobe, Pennsylvania. There are no coincidences.

Bar Harbor

September 26, 2016

The Quimby House in Bar Harbor, Maine is a terrific place to stay near Acadia National Park. Tim and Dani are wonderful hosts who make each guest feel special. Tim has played golf at The Kebo Valley Club since he was a youngster. The course opened in 1888 and is the 8th. oldest club in […]

Full bloom

We toured New England for ten days but arrived before the fall colors had turned. How nice to know when we return to Colorado that fall is in full bloom. Photo by Dave Irey Kebler Pass

The King

September 25, 2016

Hail to The King! Arnie’s Army (all golf fans) is in mourning tonight after learning of his passing today. He brought the word magnetic to the golf world like Muhammad Ali did in boxing. He will never be forgotten and one only need watch the tribute at this week’s Ryder Cup matches to sense the […]

Choices

September 23, 2016

A boat’s engine has propellers that rotate around a central hub. The disturbed water is forced backwards and the boat surges forward. The rudder is engaged to make the boat go in the desired direction. Some might say that people have much in common with boats. We too, have disturbing issues that must be pushed […]

Astonishing

September 23, 2016

People are just as lovely as sunsets, Beautiful hues of pink, will seep from their pores. Astonishing shades of orange, may flow from their hands. Purple and blues slide from their eyes. You just have to be watching at all the right times. Rachel 2014

Free at last

September 21, 2016

There was once a young girl who had a very difficult life. She made a number of poor choices and hung around with a questionable circle of friends. One day, after hitting rock bottom, the young girl went for a walk. She took a tablet to write down her thoughts. Soon, it began to rain […]

All you need is love

September 20, 2016

The concierge at the hotel encouraged us to take a walk through the park near The Quincy Market. We took his advice and were walking hand in hand when Sally stopped and said ‘how about that?’ I looked up and smiled realizing that the concierge must tell hundreds of couples each month to visit this […]

A new chapter

September 20, 2016

We have seen a lot of homeless people in Boston these past few days. The woman last night near the subway entrance with her eyes closed appeared to be struggling with drugs. It rained all day yesterday and an ex- marine lay sleeping on a covered bench at a bus stop to avoid getting soaked. […]

Patience

September 19, 2016

There is a light in every forest and hope in every heart. It could be the next step….the next breath that the light appears and dispels the darkness.

Life is good

September 19, 2016

‘I love summer, the pool, and grilled cheese sandwiches. Some would say I have it pretty good. And…how could I forget, cookies and cream ice cream is my all time favorite.’

One great story

September 16, 2016

Peggy was on a flight into Denver and met a nice fella sitting next to her. She explained that she worked as an adoption facilitator helping kids connect with families. Peggy told him of a particular case where four children under seven were found in an abandoned cabin in the mountains west of Denver. Before […]

Relief

Whew…funny how life can right itself when you hold on and keep the faith.
