We had dinner tonight at my Dad's. After dinner, while my sister and my wife were cleaning up the kitchen, I stood there by the phone looking around at my mom's domain. I noticed the white board with all the messages for the family and day care. Next to the message board is the TV and above the TV is a picture of some flowers.
While looking around I noticed that the picture was hanging crooked on the wall. My mom's voice in my head told me to straighten the picture. It was just like she was sitting there.
I took the picture off the wall, dusted it off, and hung it back on the wall, straight.
Thanks for being there Mom.

About Me
- David
- Columbia River Gorge, Oregon , United States
- I am evolving. After 50 years of working, I finally retired in January, 2021. We currently live in the beautiful Columbia River Gorge. I had lived in southern California with my wife and kids for 25 plus years. In June, 2014 my daughter accepted a job with a university in Oregon. My wife, began to worry that she would not see her daughter too much. Luckily, (ha ha) I was laid off from my job, making me free to move wherever I wanted. Over the course of several months, and several hundred resume's and applications, I secured a job in the Portland, Oregon area. We are now close to my daughter and are able to see her more frequently. It is truly a blessing. Our continuing journey has taken us to the beautiful Columbia River Gorge, in the little town of Cascade Locks (what a wonderfully historic place this is). Here on this little collection of essays and interests I try to capture life. I try not to get political. Sorry, but I have opinions, and sometimes they sneak in. I don't ask that you agree with them, but I have reached them after 50+ years of thought and observations.
