This was my week before retirement …

You won’t get this if you aren’t familiar with the Redbull commercial …

I love it when classic art is used for puns …

The deer population will most likely explode …

Not me. If I nap I can’t get to sleep at night …

Another Star Trek pun. While in the Navy and overseas somewhere I actually ate snails in a red sauce and they were delicious …

I used this before, but it’s so cute and funny I had to use it again …

So true …

Finally, you can’t go wrong with a classic literature pun …

God has used dreams in many ways – Joseph who saw his future as the second in command in Egypt to save his family and the future of Israel; another Joseph who listened to an angel who told him how to protect Mary and Jesus, our future Savior, and others.

When I’m out with Jessie in the late afternoon and I see jets flying West into the setting sun, I dream of where they’re going and I’m reminded of the trips Betty and I have been blessed to take. Those reminders give me joy.

Are my dreams on the scale of the two Josephs? No. However, I believe that our imagination and our dreams are gifts from God to enrich our lives.

The Big Island of Hawaii is a unique place. This picture, taken off our TV two days ago, shows the Subaru Observatory which is on top of the mountain, Mauna Kea. It may the only place where you can go snowboarding in the morning and snorkeling in the afternoon.

I’ve mentioned in previous posts we get Sandhill Cranes and Crows flying over our home. We also get flights of Mallard Ducks. In the morning, as in the video below, they fly West from the Rio Grande River into our neighboring community, Rio Rancho. I’m not sure what is in Rio Rancho that attracts them. They fly back in the late afternoon.

Now we know what Santa does after his long night …

A modern day carol …

Ms. Mary always knows what’s proper …

Good question …

I know nothing about chess, but this is funny …

Quite a photo bomb …

Ready or not, it’s here …

Not a bad resolution …
