The past cannot be forgotten when memories live on in written words, in photos, and in the hearts of those of us who remain. #memories #past #photos #writtenwords #family #eaabiplane

A Veteran’s Wife
The recent flyby of a WWII vintage Army C-47 with invasion stripes brought back memories of a person I never met and one that I will never forget in what seemed like a different lifetime. She was an excellent nurse, very kind and caring, and it was my privilege to work with her for severalContinue reading “A Veteran’s Wife”
Tahitian Dreamin’
Sunlight accented memories of trips to Tahiti and its surrounding isles. Though the sunset eventually faded away, the memories never will. #tahiti #frenchpolynesia #sunset #memories #tahitianukulele
Shadows of Memories
The sunlight accented beads and a drum and cast their shadows on the wall. They were gifts from friends that we met in Oklahoma while we were at Fort Sill. The man who made the set was Apache, and his wife was a direct descendant of the great Comanche Chief Quanah Parker. We were theirContinue reading “Shadows of Memories”
Treasure Chest
It looks like a treasure chest that pirates might once have fought over. But it holds no jewels, crowns, nor coins; goodness knows it’s heavy enough as it is.

Wild grapes were abundant, and I used to enjoy picking and eating them though they were small, about the size of a blueberry, and quite tart. There was no hiding the snacking, either, sinceContinue reading “Autumn Memory”
Shadows of the Past
The setting sun cast shadows of objects in our window onto the wall and brought back memories, some recent, some distant. More recently, the enchantment of Bora Bora was captured in the photos and the shadowy silhouette of a wooden dolphin on the lower right. The carving was given to us by friends in BoraContinue reading “Shadows of the Past”
Able Cables
The appearance of the cables seems as wispy as the clouds in the blue skies above, yet the strands holding the bridge stoutly support the structure that carries traffic across the Columbia River. Once upon a time we motored our boat back and forth under this bridge to and from various cruising adventures on theContinue reading “Able Cables”
Shadow and Substance
It was a fortuitous moment as sunlight passed through door panes, illuminated flowers, and cast their shadows upon the wall. Within minutes the scene had vanished. Witnessing this curious light play created a pleasant memory; photographing it has turned it into a memory shared. #shadow #substance #memories #sunlight
