Work Hard. Play Hard. Fall Hard.
This day is dedicated to my grandson (Happy Birthday Payton Wallace), and his wish for his 17th birthday TODAY, to be here at Marval Camp in Gore, Oklahoma. This first couple of pics are from Tuesday when we arrived here (note the coveted photo with the ginormous trout letting us know of things to come),…
A Day to be Sad….Really?
You may know the heartache and feelings when one of your closest friends or family members just passed away…..yesterday.

Life is Good. Life is Fun.
It’s an awesome Sunday when you start with a spectacular view of The Olympic Mts to the West, Mt Rainier to the South and then having an amazing time of praising and worshipping God, seeing over 15 people baptized at The City Church in Kirkland, WA — home church for many of the Seattle Seahawks’…

Ever Have a Sidewinder Kind of Day?
Day 226 of Photo Inspirations — Ever Have a Sidewinder Kind of Day? You’re trying to go forward, but there’s so many distractions, so many roadblocks, so many hurdles to cross that you feel like you’re going sideways just to be able to squeeze through these times?
