What if?





It’s been said that a boat is a hole in the water that you throw money into, our friend Greg Melde claims his airplane is a giant vacuum that sucks up money.
Greg took us flying, what a thrill to see this area spread out like a map in real living color. There is more shore line than I had imagined, that is something you can’t see all of from a highway, it got me to thinking about our house on Puget Sound that we foolishly sold oh so many years ago. It also got me to wondering how different life would have been had we not moved from Port Orchard, Washington to Carmichael, California.  You can’t live your life on “What if”’s but I will always wonder.
Our home is in Arizona, the harsh environment of the desert with its bristles, thorns and tumbleweeds is in stark contrast with the blue water surrounding lush green foliage, polka dotted with the vibrant color of flowers with a backdrop of snow covered mountain peaks. Yes, it is said that the desert has its own kind of beauty, but it also has a ton of ugly thrown in.
