Buffalo Prayer

This awesome statue named "Buffalo Prayer" is one of the pieces of art decorating a garden at the Buffalo Bill Center of the West in Cody Wyoming. I found this prayer elsewhere. This prayer is titled "Let Me Walk in Beauty" and begins with these first words, "Oh, Great Spirit, whose voice I hear in the winds.  And whose breath gives life to all of the world. Hear me! I am small and weak.  I need Your strength and wisdom...."

Devil's Tower National Monument

Something STRANGE has led me (...and apparently several hundred other people) to this site today.  None of us are quite sure why... but we knew we just had to come.  Now the question is... "How do I get to the top of this thing?"

Another weird thing has been happening to me... lately I have had this strange craving for mashed potatoes... and even though my Mother used to insist that I never play with my food...  I have been doing just that!

Dragon's Mouth Spring - Yellowstone National Park

Here is a short video of mine that shows one of the interesting geothermal features at Yellowstone National Park.  You can almost hear the dragon "huffing and puffing" (...or ...more than likely... snoring). Please do not get too close to the dragon's mouth!

Mount Rushmore National Monument

Quickly, (...without looking...) name the four persons whose faces are depicted on Mount Rushmore. Now... be prepared to tell a child (or anyone else) why each one of these persons are important to American history.

Old Faithful - Yellowstone National Park

One of the "must see" sites of Yellowstone National Park is the geyser affectionately named "Old Faithful" because it lets off steam on a regular basis.
Hey... maybe there is a lesson there for all of us!

Please click on link below to see "Old Faithful" in action, "spouting off".

Give Thanks!

¡Da Gracias! 

Happy Thanksgiving!

¡Feliz Día de Acción de Gracias!

So much for which to be grateful. Thankful for everything that I have, everything that I can do and for all that I have become. Not only grateful for the bountiful food set before us one special day a year but also for every morsel ever ate. Above everything else... I am grateful for family and for every one of my friends. Though it took me years to realize it, I am now confident that I am surrounded by love. Truly, this is -  "A Wonderful Life."
Beyond a doubt, - I am Blessed.

Thank You, Lord!

AWESOME GOD

Un-Hump Day

Six Un-Hump Days a Week

California Dreaming in Ohio

...On such a Winter's Day...

Yet another painfully cold and windy November day in Ohio.  Where are the days when folks would mow the grass wearing shorts, tee-shirt and tennis shoes on Thanksgiving Day?  ...Sure, that happened rarely in the last six or so decades ...but the ole body seems to be having a much harder time these days adjusting to "something" that can best be described as "bitter" cold.  The mouth even senses the bitterness of this cold and the whole body wants to quickly SPIT IT OUT ...and remove all taste of it.  The young lady in the photo (below) is unknowingly modeling for a beach travel poster while wearing a fashionable sweatsuit on a cold November day in Ohio while she tries to stay warm and maintain a positive, cheerful attitude. Well... one can *always* hope. Anyway.... Everybody Sing!...
"♪♪...California Dreaming... on such a winter's day...♪♪"

Keep on Dreaming!  Keep Hope Alive!

Vote Patty for President ...Nov 2040

VOTE!    VOTE!    VOTE!   VOTE!   VOTE!   VOTE!   VOTE!

     

It is truly unfortunate that the American public has to wait until the year 2040 before this fantastic young lady becomes constitutionally eligible to hold the office of President of the United States.  One thing is for certain... at this point in time she would make a far better president than most of the women and men who are currently aspiring to the highest position in the land and the presumed leader of the entire free world.  Until the first time you can vote for Patty... make sure that you *always* vote responsibly.  Then in 2040 just remember...

"Vote Early ... Vote Patty!"
