SHOE SHOE TREE

I would love to hear what these shoes would say could they speak.

Maybe

I've been everywhere man breathed the mountain air man I've travelled I've
done my share man I've been everywhere.

These boots were made for walking and that's just what they'll do and one of
these days these boots are gonna walk all over you.

Tweedly tweedly tweedly dee I'm as happy as can be!

In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks.- John Muir

What a tale they could tell about their owner and the things they have seen and heard.

NO DRUGS,NO ALCOHOL, NO DOGS

LIKE I said every year I look forward to the Pow Wow trail. Welcoming the familiar beat and songs of the drum. Ah winter is gone, the sun is warm on my face and I hear the voice of the drum and voices of singers and it is good to be here again.

THE very first time I ever went to a Pow Wow I fell in Love. In love with a culture that I knew nothing about. Grand Entry was at noon which is roughly 1:00 Indian time. The wait is well worth it. The drum starts, the singers sing and the dancers dance. The grass dancers, men's traditional dancers, fancy shawl dress dancers, jingle dress dancers, womans traditional dancers all come into the circle honouring our elders and veterans. I swallowed real hard as I watched the beauty of these proud people, their dance and their regalia. United in Colour and beauty. Two days and all of this without alcohol or drugs. Just good clean fun! I did say no dogs didn't I well I fibbed a little bit I have seen a dog or two, one was a seeing eye dog and the other quickly dissapeared after doing his business.

Our children's generations that are coming are waiting for
this gift... So
we are going to have to hold hands and go in one direction.
All of us have to
communicate, sing one song, say one prayer, and walk the
next decade together
with one voice, for our survival and the survival of
future generations.

Papa 99 today

Goodness gracious my Dad is 99. It is hard to believe by looking at him and it must be harder for him to believe. Imagine the changes he has seen in his lifetime. From wars to vehicles to computers. What will the next 100 years bring?

What can we contribute to bring about a new world civilization.

Today for the first time ever at 99 + 1 day he went bowling and he got a strike. Hip hip hurray for Papa. What a guy. I am so proud of him.
