ONLY ONE

“in all the world ONLY ONE

jw marriott’s camelback inn
bears an imprint
upon entrance
to this little piece of paradise
“in all the world ONLY ONE

yes
ONLY ONE camelback...
where time stands still.
there, a large clock 
with hands that never move
remind guests
to be present,
live in the moment,
do not let a minute slip away

and for one week...
time would do just that,
stand still.
 for moments in time
to be recorded.

one need not wonder,
the happenings
that unfold
while the clock is still...

MULTIPLE BIRTHDAYS CELEBRATED

MUMMY MOUNTAIN
treasures of all kinds
a reunion of sorts
with
birthday celebrations
being the highlight.
happy birthday uncle bill !
happy birthday debbie !
magicians, line dancing,
a barbecue and
daffodil cakes.
beginning at dusk,
it became the perfect setting for
one golden evening.

WORSHIP
in the local church
there, a familiar face before me
belonging to one of my student’s mom
from a long time ago.
on this sabbath,
we are surrounded by the lovliness
of spring
and God’s great and wondrous creations

the POOL
swimming of course,
for rest and relaxation
orange freeze
orange freeze
orange freeze
and orange freeze
onion rings
homemade chips
smoothies of every flavor
creative nail art,
visiting,
laughter,
reading,
napping,
welcoming the embrace of the sun’s warmth.

lovely RITA'S
delicious food
puff pastry
ambiance
and conversation with those held dear
and yet another
birthday celebration

LO-LO'S
fried chicken and golden waffles
for true southern cookin’
i hunkered down for 
cheese grits
and service with a smile
“what.?!?..you’ve never heard what does the fox say?”

the SPA
breathe in beauty
breathe our stress
breathe in sunshine
breathe out snow

PEORIA VENTURE

allie's basketball game
at her brand new school
followed by
the home tour on
tonopah drive
and a delicious meal
by camille.

MALL
“but mom, do we have to bring her?”
for more mannequin madness

hats
hats
hats
socks
and to

pick on ridiculous aunt
while singing
"haaapppppeeeeeee"

NOTORIOUS
for their burgers,

but the salmon salad
was divine.
notorious 
for carrying my camera,
i left it charging
and so...
no pics !

the DESERT CANVAS
sunsets, spectacular views,
a tapestry of wonders
 glorious
spellbinding
reflective
brilliant
poetic

LAUNDRY

for a spiritual feast.

GIFTING for souveniers


FAMILY
meetings and gatherings
a hunting we will go,
a hunting we will go
for treasure?
for gold?
for memories?
for EASTER EGGS.
and do not be surprised
if you find one from previous years
faded candy wrappers
covered in dirt
and one golden egg
containing big bucks
and more birthday wishes
to
allie
and
jesus

what do you do when time stands still ?
