Last night was a goodbye party for Joe. He is dying. I am not really comfortable saying “He is moving on” or “Passing Over”. The body, shell, or vessel we know as Joe is finishing up and dying. What an amazing way to acknowledge our connections and shared love for music and each other! He […]
We arrived on Sunday afternoon to an incredible scene out of a Thomas Kinkade painting. The only thing missing was snow-capped mountains. The lake, the pond with fountains, the barn, the alpacas (aka The Girls), the dogs (rescues), the multiple pastures stretching out, the lovely home, the pool and whirlpool with a waterfall running over

We wanted a demonstration of how some of the systems worked and the annual maintenance was performed. Whenever I visit places without mountains in the west, one of the first things I notice are
The Spiritual and the Mystical meet the grandeur of nature in the mountains of Sedona. The red rocks rise out of the high desert of central Arizona in a show of colors and form that amaze me still. The beauty of the area was used in films starring John Wayne, Jimmy Stewart, Henry Fonda, Humphrey
