My husband Jim went camping and walking with his young son (not young now) and they clearly both gained so much from the experience. <br /><br />I love railway tracks and those words are thought provoking as usual from you. My life has taken so many twists and turns I sometimes feel like a feather tossed on the breeze.BThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16800917080090010655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8767484157936178574.post-23957890052344366252010-02-06T01:12:10.960-05:002010-02-06T01:12:10.960-05:00hmmmmmmmmm. yes. familiar tracks.hmmmmmmmmm. yes. familiar tracks.Kathleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18372015226222285350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8767484157936178574.post-50502285968347242282010-02-04T22:22:22.976-05:002010-02-04T22:22:22.976-05:00Clapping sounds coming from here in Texas!Clapping sounds coming from here in Texas!♥ Boomer ♥https://www.blogger.com/profile/11304000268484230167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8767484157936178574.post-78183493779168660372010-02-04T21:07:42.224-05:002010-02-04T21:07:42.224-05:00hey meri - mmm hmmmm. i know. it's frustrating...hey meri - mmm hmmmm. i know. it's frustrating to reach points in my life where i know that's my experience but i can't see its value. it usually takes a lot of time and space to reach that point. sort of like getting to the end of the railroad tracks. stevenstevenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14132104804524716898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8767484157936178574.post-2353223814406538862010-02-04T21:06:31.178-05:002010-02-04T21:06:31.178-05:00hey bonnie - i cross them every few weeks. ic an&#...hey bonnie - i cross them every few weeks. ic an't help looking along them. i wonder about the railroad tracks in my mind more often!!! stevenstevenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14132104804524716898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8767484157936178574.post-60040678997722284992010-02-04T21:05:52.081-05:002010-02-04T21:05:52.081-05:00hey rachel - thankyou. perhaps your railside "...hey rachel - thankyou. perhaps your railside "fun" could be something to write about?! stevenstevenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14132104804524716898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8767484157936178574.post-79423907520856915442010-02-04T21:05:18.125-05:002010-02-04T21:05:18.125-05:00sure is willow!!! stevensure is willow!!! stevenstevenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14132104804524716898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8767484157936178574.post-53393111043016079322010-02-04T20:17:25.317-05:002010-02-04T20:17:25.317-05:00Love the way the railroad tracks appear to converg...Love the way the railroad tracks appear to converge in infinity.

So to make their work easier we feel year round but don't mind it at all. Generations of them come and go as they only live about two years in the wild.<br /><br />We recognize them by the size and shapes of their ears. Each generation is different. Long ears. Short Ears. Laid flat ears. Thrust forward ears. And things like that. I like to watch them and gave up trying to deny them a place at the table. They eat when they come and leave when they are full.<br /><br />LOL<br /><br />Thanks for the visit.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8767484157936178574.post-8085600730572805492010-02-04T08:54:51.669-05:002010-02-04T08:54:51.669-05:00Love those railroad tracks!
