Actually, Brian those are my medals from when I was 37. The cut off age was thirty seven and I am fifty now. I was competing with much younger dudes. It was a great time but I had to stop training. Too many injuries. They get in the way of being able to fulfill your parental responsibilities unfortunately.I leave them up so the boys have something to aspire to.
Ah - elvish runes - my boys would have loved to know that! Huge LOTR fans here. Love your beach grass shot - our beach grass is all under snow at them moment!
Nine year olds are amazing! My little boy is now 30 and I so miss those little notes in code and the other fun things he used to do. Congrats to Joe, Jack keep writing those elvish notes...priceless, and you keep the camera handy...lovely photos! Smiles...Susan
Hi Kara, thank you for visiting and your sweet comment. Your photo of the red berries and the grasses are beautiful. Enjoy the week ahead. Blessings, Pamela
How fun to write in Elvish! A friend of my daughter's was fascinated with Tolkien's language and learned it - she is now studying for her PhD in some obscure area of medieval language, I believe. The grasses against the blue sky are very lovely.
Deep peace of the running wave to you. Deep peace of the flowing air to you. Deep peace of the quiet earth to you. Deep peace of the shining stars to you. Deep peace of the gentle night to you. Moon and stars pour their healing light on you
When Joe comes home from working nights he flops his cap down on the kitchen table. It is an Irish sculls cap and when he wears it with his mask at work they say he looks like a Southie (Irish part of Boston) bank robber. I just like the way it looks on my kitchen table and I’m glad he’s not a bank robber. My sister had to get some scans in Boston and spent the week at my mums. I had them up for dinner one night. This isn’t the greatest picture of her...I think I caught her in mid-chew. Sunday I met with both of my daughters and my grandchildren. We were the only ones in the pizza place and felt comfortable taking our masks off while we ate. It was the first time we’ve all been together in such a very long time. It brought me to tears. I rise before the sun most mornings and see it coming up over the neighboring houses like ribbons of orange and indigo light. One morning this week I happened to glance up and see the crescent moon setting behind the big, old pine while the sky was
It is my habit to rise early and sit at the kitchen table letting the morning settle over me. The sun comes up over the harbour which is just at the bottom of the little lane we live on and I love to see it rise above the neighboring housetops and fills the sky with ribbons of bright orange and indigo. Sunday morning I happened to glance out of my tiny kitchen window and just caught a crescent moon setting over the bright end of a beautiful sunrise. I should mention that the pine stands 4 or 5 stories tall. I’m not sure how old it is but can imagine the changes it has seen from it’s lofty view of the harbour.

ReplyDeleteThe sunlit grasses make me think of a summer day with a bit of a breeze.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely note for Jack's father; it must have warmed his heart.
