A 'Short' Courtship ... A 'Long' Journey - My Life with 'K'


What began of all places on a basketball court, 
Has now been a life of four decades … much to sort. 

A ready-made family with two kids in tow, 
From Alaska to Oregon we did go.

Bible college and degree, 
Growing in Christ, the Father, you and me.


Our family grew with a kid on Tuesday
… no, not the goat, but what can I say?

A career in the house of fire,
Camping, boating, kids’ activity ... gave much to inspire.

A home…now thirty-two years to this day,
Remodeled not once, but twice, a life well lived as often we did play.

We transitioned to a home of empty nest,
Wow...Our 15th Anniversary
Travel to Mexico, Italy, Spain, brought adventure, new friends ... much rest.

Decade four ... a peculiar journey of life shifting
To Rushmore, BC, across these United States upon our Goldwing.

Friends smile at these two old folk;
Insane and daring as they venture Newport to Roanoke.

Four-Wheelin in Cabo

Now forty years on this the 29th of September,
In ten more years I do hope that we remember;

 The place, the moment on Bodenburg Butte,
Where I proposed to love, to care for one so cute.

Coast to Coast on the 'Wing'
Challenge in life is often more than routine,
Yet through them all, strength is there in the time between.

We move now into the decade … our fifth,
Who knows the journey, but it is you Karen…I go with.



Where it began ... on 'Bodenburg Butte'

To my Miss Karen ... Happy Anniversary my Love 💕



The 'Pat Terry Group' and their song 'With This Ring' was what we had played on our wedding day. It's message is still beautiful today. :)
