Where Does The Time Go?


For those who have taken the time to check in and see if I have posted any new items, I have to apologize. I haven’t really had a chance to do much as of late. It takes me about one and a half days to get home from the North Slope. Once I arrive time goes by so fast that the things I want to do give way to the things I need to do. I am trying to get the house here in Montana ready for sale as well as make as much money as I can from my window washing company that I have had for a number of years. It puts in perspective just how old and out of shape I am getting. I hurt at the end of the day from stretching and moving ladders. At some point in time I will do a video on the proper way to wash windows. It is an art form and as a result, I find that I enjoy doing it. Go figure. I did have a chance to put together a few canvas wrap art pieces that are now available in the store that carries my work. “River Mist” is the name of the place, so if you are ever in town stop in and take a look. The above piece is one of the new items excluding the poem, which is embedded on the face of the photo. I took the photo last winter on the top of Turner Mountain just outside of Libby, Montana. I return to the slope on Sunday. I seem to have more spare time up there and will be back to posting soon.

What a beautiful place that Montana must be....I have to see it though pictures..for you could never could get me on top of that mountain.... I checked out "The Dash" by Linda Ellis and what a wonderful poem it is....I would love to post that on my blog, but I don't know if it would be ok... I would love to share it....for it is so true....the older I get, (which will be 68 in Aug) the more I do try and add Dashes to my life. I read Linda's biography, and what an inspiration she is... thanks for bringing that to my attention....when I get to the book store I'm going to look up the book..... judy

Nice photo, really love it. Feel so refreshing.

As for the part of getting old and out of shape, c'mon. It doesnt matter as long as you enjoying life. And if you have to clean more windows to fine tuning the art, so be it. The window to my eyes are getting better, thanks to your scenic photography..

Hi Randy. I'm pleased to see you had a moment to stop and tell us all "hello" despite your rushed schedule. I, too, thank you for pointing me out to The Dash by Linda Ellis. That poem has come my before, probably forwarded via an e-mail buddy. But I remembered it the moment I saw it again and thank you for the reminder. Change is scary but is indeed a part of life. Everyone endures multiple changes daily - some large, some small - but they always occur and always creates discord in some fashion. Ah, I'm rambling but love your blog and your message today. Does River Mist have a website? I would love to see your work.
