Milo and I started out on our morning walk a little early this morning. We arose early to the smell of a skunk wafting through the open bedroom window. That has never happened before. Whewwwwweeeeeee!
We raised the flag and honored our troops. We will have a new name on our list next month. My wife's boss is in the Army reserve and has been called up for duty in Iraq. She is a major. As Milo and I made our turn at the fork, we had a pleasant surprise. The school bus came around the corner. Bob is making his "dry runs" before school starts on Thursday. We chatted for a few minutes, talked about our summer and then proceeded with our journey.
I started my journal almost a year ago, on September 8, 2005. My intention was three fold. First, I love to write. Second, I have a very close friend and neighbor, Chris......PhD, who teaches ancient philosophy. He left the University of Colorado and took on a position at Oxford University in England. The journal has made it easy for he and his family to keep up with their friends in Sunshine. Third, I wanted to keep a record of my MIL's fight with cancer. We lost her smile on July 29th.
To celebrate AOL Journal's anniversary, I went shopping for something to wear at the ball. I found the following at Jos. A Banks.
I hope the brunette in the Lime Green Prom Dress will save me a dance!
Some of my best stories were written early and have few, if any comments. A few of them were:
I have also tried to introduce some of the characters in our neighborhood, such as our unofficial mayor, Chris, in the story about the mountain lion.
I have met some wonderful people. We have all smiled, laughed and cried together.
Happy Birthday,
David, Milo, Malcom and all of the neighbors in Sunshine, Colorado

I sent myself an email with a link to this journal entry, so as I have time, I can come back and read these entries you have earmarked. You KNOW I love your journal since a lot of it has to do with the beautiful state I wish to live in again. I hope to be back by summer, but we will see......................that is probably just wishful thinking on my part, lol. Fortunately for me though, my Hubby and daughter agree! Woo Hoo!~
Blessings my friend!~
