The Decade Challenge: October 2009

When was October not for football? Whenever it was for the fair instead. This was a year where  greater effort to connect with both sides of the family was made. Those were always good years, until they weren't or someone ended up "dead " to the other (not really dead... only "dead to" each other while little dramas blew over. )

Still... we focus on the good, the lovely.  It is a choice... absolutely... and essential.

I don't have the attention span required to enjoy a full football game- just clue me in during the last two minutes of the 4th quarter and let me see how it ends. Until then, I like to find stories through my lens.

And another trip to Fernandina... working up momentum to move there, I bet...



Only a few more stops along the way and we would write a chapter there to never forget.



I don't include archived kisses out of wistfulness, instead as accurate memory- the good with the bad, unflinching at the facts... sometimes, it was easy enough to believe...

Everything changes - Sandy Bottoms no longer exists... in its place now, The Sandbar
