Simple

“I have every possession I want. I have a lot of friends who have a lot more possessions. But in some cases, I feel the possession possesses them, rather than the other way around,”

Warren Buffett

Six months of tent life. Yes, I go into the RV and cook and bake and even occasionally shower and shave! I have changed the mattress three times and finally Big Agnes got it spot on – thanks Chris for my birthday present! I’m happy in my tent. I really love just being here present daily for hours of reading Orthodox theology and ham radio tech! Simple…

Family

 I do love to travel to Flagstaff and the mountains. The thought of traveling anywhere else ugh – creates anxiety.

Wheelin

Don’t get me wrong, I do love to go 4 wheeling – but surrounded by Sedona beauty – why stray.

Selfie – guilty!

Which in my convoluted mind leads from the peace and serenity of my tent to Chris, best friend’s quote that he was contemplating –

If you can get people to ask the wrong questions you don’t need to  worry about  the answers…

Seems we are at a crossroads – these next few months should shake out politically our direction as a country asking the right questions.

I’m hoping for Trust and Love philosophically –

Fear and punishment is an old useless paradigm

But a paradigm is still only worth .20 cents

Keep on rockin in the free world

This is our heritage!

Easter Snow

A March Easter Sunday seems odd. But I woke at 5am to snow falling heavily on camp.

Jake’s Cheyenne tepee

It was a cleansing snow driving out all the unprepared campers. Four inch mud ensued!

I fired up the smoker with my dear friend April and commenced to smoke a ham. My favorite part of smoking ham is making 15 Bean soup this morning. The beans are soaking as I write.

145 degrees is what we’re shooting for

Jake went to Easter carnival and had a blast with his friends.

Another couple weeks and it is his birthday- seven years old and time flies!

15 Bean soup been cooking for six hours!
