Dreams do come TRUE

Hello to all that keeps up with this blog.


Is the earth on fire
 Well this is what it looked this morning. It makes you think that the earth is on fire. Well it might be somewhere the way things or going. But leaving all aside that is a beautiful sun rise this morning. Not many mornings like this.
Full moon
This time of the cycle and we were blessed with this shot of the full moon last night. Wow what a picture this has made. Well I guess that is enough of that so lets move on.



Wide open space

 Do you ever wonder how it was way back when. Well I catch myself sitting up on the fly bridge just wonder and day dreaming about what it was like back then. As the picture tell it ,you can see for miles around. Just like on the fly bridge I can see for miles out in the Gulf of Mexico. I sit there wonder how they ever made it across the ocean. You know it was not like today with the gps's, chart plotters, depth sounders, and radar. All they had was the wind and the stars to guide them to the parts of the unknown. If they went down nobody ever found them. So I sit there and just wonder.
Old one room house
As I look at this old house I wonder how they raised five or six kids and still survived in them old days. Most of the old families had a few acres and raised all they ate and traded for the flour and sugar. Hell now days the younger generation can open a can ,put it in the micro wave , or something else they would starve to death. The one thing my mother did was to make sure all her kids could COOK. So for that is a blessing to me, and the same for my kids there mother made sure they could cook too. Just stop and think (as look at the old house while you think about this question ) how did they survive ? They had no running water, electricity, air condensing. nor gas. So how would make it if you were in them shoes today ? So today most of us would starve case we do not know the basic things to survive. That is really sad too.

Fresh water
Fresh water is a must. In my travels I have seen a many of an old house built real close to a creek or river. They have used creeks to keep there food cool and not to spoil.

So it is really amazing how our minds can wonder about different things. I always wish I could have lived back in Daniel Boone days, oh how much better it would have been and not like all the BS that is going on today. So I guess I will keep dreaming about the trip that Shirley and I or about to take on the Carrie Michelle.

Hope y'all all have a blessed evening,
Harold
