Intro:

My name is Howard Eskildsen (don’t worry, no one else can pronounce this either) and my wife of 50 years is named Fairy. Yes that is her given name and she is as magical as her name. The purpose of this blog is to share thoughts, stories, photos, adventures, ukulele music and some “nerdliness” that have been part of my 70 years on Earth. Several of the stories and photos have been published and all are my original work.

Various pages will be under development including:

Learning the Hard Way–usually humorous look at various misadventures
Photos and Feelings
Pacific!–featuring Hawaii and French Polynesia
Rhyme Without Reason–collection of my own poetry
Once Upon a Fairy Boat–Travels aboard our small boat in the Pacific Northwest
Platte–stories of growing up in Nebraska along the Platte River
A Gift of Wings–The role of small aircraft our Nebraska family
Astromomy: Sun and Moon–photos that I have taken, many of which have been published.

Retired physician with interests in writing, photography, music, and astronomy. I have written multiple stories of life experiences, travel, and astronomy, and have been playing the ukulele for 10 years. My wife Fairy and I travel frequently to the Pacific Islands of Hawaii, and French Polynesia, and I have learned several of their native-language songs. This blog will be a forum to share experiences with family and friends. View more posts
