St. John's Episcopal Church - Springfield, Mo

Our lovely little church looks beautiful in the snow.

The snow rests softly today,

Peaceful - silent,

Mirroring those who lie beneath.

Waiting - Patient,

A pristine blanket of white.

I Have A New Ride

I have a new ride. A silver Jeep Grande Cherokee Ltd. Have not seen it yet. Perhaps it will arrive on Thursday. What a relief! Can't wait to try her out.

Silver Was Murdered

My trusty steed "Silver" went to her reward a couple of weeks ago. I have been driving "The Red Bird" since then. I will miss her. Have been driving her so long she feels like part of me. Hope my new rig will become my trusted ride.

It's bad when a plan falls apart. Happy Hunting Genie and Dale. I need a new pony soon!

Sometimes Things Just Don't Work Out Right

Sometimes the world is cruel. Sometimes the ones you love hurt you deeply. There will be a better time and a better place if we are patient. Someplace where people do not put words in your mouth, say they know what you are thinking, or pass judgement without a trial. Gathering the strength to go forward into the light.

Lots To Do, Lots To Do

Looks like fall is beginning in Galloway Village. The days are becoming damp, overcast & foggy. Love fall weather. My favorite time of year. We will be heading into the holidays soon. Here's to family, good friends and crisp, wonderful fall days ...... Sam

A deer pauses in Wilson's Creek. This photo and many others from the Southwest Missouri Camera Club won first prize in the 'animals in the park' catagory .... Sam
