I am leaving for a missions trip to Haiti on Dec. 28 and won’t return until after the new year, so here is my last post for 2015. Thank you WordPress family for your visits, your kind comments and for your encouragement. You are all an incredibly talented bunch! Looking forward to the journey with you in 2016. Happy New Year!
We are having an unusually warm December… the I & M Canal seems to be quietly waiting for winter to arrive…. I would rather see the warmer trend continue.
i am grateful for steps… the journey… gold and grave…
i am grateful for breath… the rhythm… singing out loud…
i am grateful for light… the assurance… darkness cannot abide…
i am grateful for love… love and friendship… i am not alone…
i am grateful for mystery… all that is unkown… i will trust the author…
i am grateful… for you…
The TREK life on a beautiful summer morning overlooking the Illinois River….
I have posted many images from this location in Marseilles, IL: this is the Middle East Conflicts Wall Memorial. On a recent bicycle ride here I took more time at the memorial. I took many pictures and when I came home I noticed that I took a picture of one of the granite walls without realizing that my last name was on the wall: “Garcia.” I don’t know this brave hero, or the other fallen heroes etched on these silent, black stones, but I am so grateful for their bravery, service, valor and sacrifice.
My dear friends in Apple Genius land held my laptop hostage all week until intense negotiations finally secured it’s release. To celebrate, I am posting Miss Doris 3. Hope you enjoy.
Had a wonderful week at band camp. I brought my phone, so I did not take many pictures, but I may post one or two this week. In the meantime, apparently I have already posted an image of Miss Doris, so this is, officially, the second image of this river boat and barge. Now that the flooding has receded the boats and barges are able to use the Illinois Waterway once again. Miss Doris 3 is coming soon.
