And Now . . .

LJ sent me a note wishing me a Happy 23rd LJ Birthday - and thank you LJ.

Humm, life in these Appalachian hills is wonderful and relatively slow - just the way i like it.

I am learning how to Lawn Bowl as there is a bowling green just a 15 minute walk from here. I like the precision it requires and patience that, more or less, needs ( Read more... )

20 years ... really???

Hard to believe that i've been using this blog -or not using it as the case may be- for almost 20 years. Shortly after Brad started LJ, someone, (yes, you Meredith) got me started writing and posting and i've been very happy she did. So all of you that i've have and been connected with for the past two decade - Happy ( Read more... )

Been a while; mostly i'm not using social media ... still, this was the earliest journal i used - i don't know when i began, a few decades ago. So, hello everyone that i know/knew and those i don't. Hope you are treating life in the manner you like being treated ... sorta makes sense, eh?

I just learned that "... three weeks ago 'alexpgp' passed away." I was a fan of his writings and photographs and didn't know he had been sick nor that he'd left. His LJ has been placed in 'memorial' status - thanks to whoever arranged that. Alex shall be missed.

Noon tomorrow, 1/5/12, S will take me to Green Gulch Farm to begin a three week study intensive. We are closed to the public during this time and create a monastic schedule for 21 days ending with a 5 day sitting. Not having done one for a while, it'll be rather interesting. Well, they are always interesting but when i was sitting 2-3 a year i had ( Read more... )

Wishing you continuous happy holidays into the New Year and may your New Year and the following months be peaceful, healthy (finical and physical) and may you thrive!

Wow? Two and a half months since i last wrote here, hummm. I've been using FB for most photographic posts and Flickr. I like FB as i can keep in touch with family who, as far as i know, has never looked at my LJ even though i've sent links, etc. Oh well, each to their own ( Read more... )
