always saying goodbye

And so we say goodbye to this sunset sail series on the harbor… doesn’t it feel like… I mean sometimes… like we’re always saying goodbye…

Another in this series from my recent trip back home to Long Island. We just loved this sunset sail on my brother’s sail boat.

obstacle course dead ahead

Looking ahead at all those sail boats in the harbor I was suddenly very grateful that I was not responsible to navigate us through that obstacle course!!

come sail away

sailing 3

I have been enjoying visiting family and friends this past week back home on Long Island, New York, where I spent my childhood. If you have been following my blog you know that I am very content and at peace to walk along the shore and enjoy the beauty of the sea. My brother (we are twins) has the same kind of peace and joy, only, he has to be on the sea. He is a talented, skilled sailor and, he and his wife took us out for a sunset sail. It was a beautiful evening. This is the first of a few posts from our evening. Do you prefer the black and white, or, the color version?

I have had Montana on my mind lately. A few years ago, in the month of April, I had the opportunity to teach at a bible college there and I have been going through some images from that trip. Definitely hope I have an opportunity to return to this beautiful part of the world.

and so Christmas day 2017 ends

Goodbye Christmas Day 2017. It was wonderful to be with family and be reminded of how precious it is to care and support each other. It brought joy to my heart to think about friends near and far and be reminded of how my life has been surrounded with so much love and encouragement.  God bless you. Thanks, Christmas Day 2017, for a wonderful day.
