The mind folders open once more, and 

they scatter about through my mind & soul. 

A change is coming.

 

A walk on the land

as I mentally gather folder by folder

 helps prepare me for the memories to come.

 

One by one as each folder opens,

the flickers of my past emerge. 

The eyes are blinded by the many emotions

brought forth, and the weeping begins.

 

As I view the land from my stops along the walk, 

each mind folder tells their story.

Some good, some not so.

 

The sun overhead in late afternoon

brings the day to a close.

A change is coming.

 

The trees stand tall,

each one different.

Mom celebrated her birthday @ SV while she was a resident for shoulder therapy from a December fall. She is 95. Her cake was made by Ann and was a "hit" during our family party.

 

 

A Short Trip.....

crossing into Georgia 

 The Tree Family 

 

.....to check on mom.

 

Our year begins at beautiful PCB where the two of us spent time together just doing life as we love. We have been enjoying our after Christmas vacays for ten plus years.

New dining experiences for one or both of us were Culvers, Shades, Pancakery. Listening to music and meeting other Park walkers in the mornings was a joy.

 

Sunsets brought new meaning 

to a day well spent of relaxation & renewals.

 

Music of The Barry Fish Band 

stirred memories with songs from our past. 

 

 

We smiled as we waited patiently with the kids (& their parents) 

for the 10,000 beach balls to drop.

 

We watched Football & ate snacks

 before the final event of the day over the Gulf. 

 

 Happy New Year Y'all!
