Wide open spaces

This landscape photography is beautiful. I am not sure who it is by - it landed in my inbox and it made me want to go there...

The only people for me are the mad ones

I love this post from Conversations on Cool. And found it somewhat appropriate this week.

“The only people for me are the mad ones,
the ones who are mad to live,mad to talk,
mad to be saved,
desirous of everything at the same time,
the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing,
but burn,
burn,
burn,
like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars
and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop
and everybody goes “Awww!”

~Jack Kerouac

So long Papa, we will miss you

My grandpa, who everyone calls Papa no matter where they are on the family tree, passed away yesterday. If there is one word to describe him it would be dashing: he's a very tall man and emanated that kind of presence. The cravate he used to wear suited him perfectly. But then there is never just one word to describe someone: he was also adoring of all of us - his grandchildren, children, and wife ("pet" is a name he often used for us). He was many others things, as a full and adventurous life will naturally bring about. He travelled the world and had stories from all its corners. He always had that naughty spark in his eye...

Arthur Kenworthy Rhodes died at home, next to his wife of over 55 years, overlooking the Crocodile River, one of his favorite spots on earth. We love you Papa, may you rest in peace.

Today a year ago...

Happy anniversary to my love!

Wherever you go, go with all your heart

The husband and I are off on a little weekend away to celebrate our first anniversary (w-o-w already!). The destination is yet unknown to me but I know we are taking a road trip to get there. We have taken a half day at work so leave this afternoon - I am so excited!!! (And hope that somewhere in my huge suitcase I have taken the right clothes)
