Today

For the sound of the Bob White quail and the memory of daddy telling me to listen; for reunions and childhood friends; for bar-b-que, baked beans and family at the table; for spiked hair and a mother's love for the child without, for kids tables and plenty; for quiet homes and the mystery of marriage; for houses rented and restaurant dreams--southern comfort; for entrepreneurial spirits and the answer: yes, for blue heron and quiet, still fisherman; for cattails and lily pads coming into bloom; for my mom and dad - partners and family--- for these and, oh, so many more blessings, gifts and graces-- I give thanks to the LORD!
