Roots...

No matter where we go, no matter what we do, somewhere inside of us a little voice calls to go home. It seems when we are not near the ones we love...we tend to miss them in a different way...a way that opens the mind and heart...some call it homesickness...right now I am calling it the need for spring...sorry Christmas...but fresh air and sunshine cure all that ales a human being.

With several months still until we can open the flood gates of the HITW...I would just like to say this...

Family fun for everyone,
basking in the mud,
fire burning brazenly,
hey we need more wood!
people roaming round the grounds,
dogs going to the bar.
marshmallows by the fire side,
no peeps for me next year.
Tournaments we know I'll lose,
no hard feeling here.
Just wait you folks,
for come next year,
Nerd games I have prepared.
Wolves, and Moose, Bears and Buffs
soaring with the Eagles.
Ravens come and Ravens go,
the squirrels eating peanuts
Our Charmin, and our other friends,
roaming oh so near.
Basking in the summer sun
waiting for Blue Duck
to come riding home.

On that note...Dana planning how many pounds of Avocados she needs this year? Dad have you got the balls waxed? Whats our camp fire surprise next summer sister?? Hey pope? he is never here anyway...but he is responsible for my new found liking to alcohol...wonder what expensive whiskey he will treat us too this time. (my annual drunk) Will we build a kitchen this year? What will we modify? and Uncle Bill...maybe he will bring us horses okay more like mules...but close enough hmmm....
Family and Memories...with one like ours...it is hard to stay too far from home.

On this note...Happy Holidays to my family...Remember it is the season of hope and good faith...faith that all will be well in the end. I love you guys.
