Pleasant

Passing a pleasant afternoon, enjoying each other’s company.

Strong

Faye is very strong, in this photo (grin) and in real life. I’m very, very fortunate and blessed to have such a partner, friend, companion.

Self portrait

Relaxed and content. It’s good to be alive, to have the perfect companion, partner, friend, and a good dog.

Ablaze

Another visual treat to help us through the dog days of winter. A gloriously blooming rose from my yard in Texas, on a December 17 many years ago. Coming across this photo after some years caused me to smile. Bitter cold days lie directly in our path to spring. I will do my best to appreciate them, to give thanks that I have a warm safe home, good dogs, and a partner, companion, best friend to share life with.

Love

For our first anniversary Faye and I rented part of a house overlooking Lake Travis, outside Austin. Because it was an off time we wound up having the entire place to ourselves. It was a lovely place to share with a woman, friend, partner, companion, as lovely then as she is today.
