Stories

When Arielle was 2 I would talk to her as if she understood.  Her vocabulary flourshed.  Later I would tell her stories and have her fill in details of names and places.

Today we share stories where we take turns with the story line.  I created my character and she hers.  Mine being human and her's being dragon.  

I pray for imagination to keep my end up.

Saturday Morning Toons





Saturday mornings are not the same as when I was a little boy.  Was I ever a little bog?  Anywho, kids are not the same today.  Our culture evolves with time and time is zipping by so I decided to spend some time drawing with my girl.  What fun!

Ari discovers panther

Arielle finds the joy of the Pink Panther.  I never really knew why anyone much less myself enjoyed the Pink Panther cartoons.  

Sometimes clever and mostly not the Pink guy allows me to rewrite my childhood in a brighter light.  I felt a great joy watching the Pink Panther while waiting for Speed Racer. 

We'll have to wait and see what this influence has on our part-time angle.

Dad cooking?

I'm making tortillas.  Is this cooking or baking?  Not my first batch but I hope make them better than my last.

Granted

Arielle draws everyday.  I forget to notice every wonderful piece of art she makes.   I take it for granted.

She's gone from asking to telling mother she will be famous.  I tell her success comes from loving what your doing.  Everything else will take care of itself.

Hollow hearts

This week seemed endless.  Hard work for one and all made time slow with the sorrow left from last weeks loss.  Thankful for our health and eachother.

Santa still lives and

Halloween still holds an inocent magic. I hope I get some chocolate before Arielle and Mom give away all the good stuff.

Lori and I enjoy An American in Paris hyped up on chocolate from the nights cash. I ask myself how I know the songs.

Nick Brings Change

We have to look now at the life we are to lead individually from here on out without Nick Dorris.  I have to ask myself if I can fill the gap that he has left.  As I remember Nick I only see wit and charm as he entered my presence.  He brought light into a room, smiled in adversity and seeked joy for everyone he spoke with.

His potential was limitless.  His desire was to bring calm to a turbulent world with his music.  Even though his lyrics were self-reflective of his life his intentions were to rise above the tides of change and grow.

His life will bring change to mine and I will be influenced forever by his souls presents in my life fore he will always be with me in my heart.
