why does it look like my house is on fire? When was that? xo

That is a GREAT picture of your father and your two children back in the day. Much happiness. God Bless You.

The pictures were taken on 14 March 2014. I had intended to write about your forest fire school eons ago then I lost my notes. Fortunately I still had the pictures and when I needed some of fires for this article I was prepared.

At this point I cannot write that original story as I have lost my notes. In light of the fiasco over in Apalach where all those poor people had their houses burned down, the story is too wrenching at present.

Anyway, that was near the time your place in the country was cleared. Just a little before it was done. It's been years though. Pictures were taken near 6 p.m.

Say "hi" to your fellow and Vox. Treats for both! Thanks for your note Kim. Hoping to see you again along the waterfront. J.

Thank you so much Mickey for your nice Comment regarding my duo. I miss those days though I do relish the more relaxed life I now enjoy.

As a side note, Mother made both Son's shirt and Baby's dress. She sewed their clothes for years. That was a big help for my budget too.

Long ago, and yet sometimes it feels like yesterday. I am blessed.

Thank you for your nice words. I appreciate them, and your comment. J.

Thank you for the nice article and the info. I have seen a red growth some days on our water hear much larger than an acre or so.

Thank you for the idea to write a bit more about Red Tides. The world of nature fascinates me. I spend a great deal of time considering what I observe, trying to figure it all out.

The world outside the windows of our boats interests me. Life afloat is so wonderful. I truly am blessed. To you, happy boating. And thank you again for your comments. J.
