Computers.....Blech

I am particularly fond of this photograph. So much so that I made the effort to post it here on this blog. I decided it is my delight to photograph children. They are much fun.

Today I am sitting on the computer. (Not literally). I wish literally, because I do not enjoy computers much, and fancy that it would be much more of a fun thing to do to sit on them than to use them for the purposes of editing photographs and e-mailing. I would prefer to have my old notebook and pen and paper on hand and just write the old fashioned way. But I think that for now I will sit here, AT the computer and do my duties. Meanwhile I will dream of tropical Miami and sitting in the back yard with cold key-lime aid, while breathing in the aroma of barb-qing meat and swatting mosquitoes.

I am not sure where the Miami thing came from but I think that I find rest from my strife in daydreaming of the place I call home.......


Full of palm trees................

Dan

Dan is in his late fifties and has not walked since he was 17 years old. Two weeks before his graduation from high school he was in an automobile accident which paralyzed him from the neck down. He now has only limited use of his arms.

I can remember many nights going to his house to keep Isaiah company while he put Dan to bed, cleaned his wounds and fed him dinner. We would laugh and watch weird things on TV and it was just a swell time.

We miss Dan.

July 6th will be our wedding anaverssary. This is not a picture of us, but a picture of my freinds Jessica and Bradley. (I couldn't find a decent picture of the two of us fast enough, so I decided to use a picture of Jessica and Bradley in place of us. )

Marriage has been wonderful so far. Most people say that the first year is the hardest and I believe them, but that's because you get into car accidents that cost tons of money; because you can't hold a job because you have a medical illness, and because you give all of your money to the DMV and to medical bills, and a multitude of other things that come creeping up just when you think things can't get any worse.

Yes, this year has been stormy and difficult. But I can't believe how good it has been all at the same time. People have helped us out in hard times in unspeakable ways. Our love for each other has not been stricken down, only improved. And that's what counts when things get hard.

I don't think I am actually in the mood for typing right now. I just suddenly, however, felt a burst of exclamation come out of me and decided to blog about it, since I am kind of bored, or rather, I am disorganized with my time:)
