CATS IN BOX, PENTATONIX, ARTS BUILDING MEMORIES & A BEACH WARM UP-THE WEEKENDER

THIS IS MORE THAN CURIOSITY
    Hemingway and Joy love boxes. A container from a trip to our "big box" store was temporarily put in the garage, pending it's filling with Christmas lights.  We didn't move quickly enough.These two rascals decided to encamp there, together! Put a box in the garage and immediately a curious cat is inspecting it from the inside.
DAYS OF MEMORY
    Our friend Lew sent along a summer scene of the Arts Building Terrace at Ball State University. It's a place of special significance to Lana and me.  Her art classes were in this hall as were my political science courses. I addressed a
throng of students who filled the lawn at an early Earth Day celebration and spoke to another crowd while running as a class officer candidate.  
    This was also a green that filled with sun and nap takers, lunch breakers, and romance makers.  It is also a gorgeous building and sits as a boundary to what was once the center of the campus. Could it really have been that long ago?!
                             A PARTING MELODY
   Charles Dickens was right.  Regardless of faith or belief, we should keep Christmas in our heart all year.  Here's a unique take on a seasonal classic.  Enjoy
Cheers!
A TRIP TO SHAMEL BEACH
    As many of you suffer through winter's icy blast, we offer
a few moments of light and sea from California's central coast at Cambria's Shamel Park beach.


























   Hope this warmed you a bit and perhaps evoked memories of land without snow and ice.

    See you down the trail.

  1. Not many people enjoying that beautiful beach and the ones that are seem pretty well bundled up. Still . . . better than snow, sub-zero temperatures and ice.

  2. An unsafe beach but still temptingly beautiful. I hope 2014 is shaping up to be a banner year for you. Take care.

  3. From the depths of a harsh and chilling Carpinteria winter, I envy your proximity to Shamel Park and beach. While we may have more bikini-clad wahinis, you have more otters. And we can claim "California's safest beach." (if you discount the manta rays and the tar ooze)

  4. Enjoyed amazing music video overlooking the city of angels and pictures of our little paradise. Condolences on Ball State's heartbreaking failure to win their first football bowl game.
    Interestingly, according to Arkansas State's coach after the game, Ball State was out prayed.
    Our best wishes for this new year. dlm
