Fall Fell

After the Rain

It's been raining the last few days with a bit of wind. Most of the autumn leaves are now piling up in wet drifts on the ground. When the sun peaked out this afternoon I thought I would get a shot of the leaves remaining attached to the trees and the termination dust on the Talkeetna Mountains.

One Year

Everyone said, "wait a year, before even thinking about the future." I guess they were right because today it's a year later I still have no goal, plan or vision for the future without Kate. Maybe sometime during the next year ...

The healing process means that after one year I think less about the weeks of bad times when she was sick and find myself thinking more about and enjoying the memories of the years of good times. Like when she and I attended Marti Gras in the cold, windy rain in Galveston, Texas. It was just one day while we were waiting to board the Carnival Cruise ship to attend Matt and Deanna's wedding. The Marti Gras parade was pretty good and people on every float threw beads at us. I gave her almost all that I caught to add to her haul. Kate was smiling and laughing like a kid collecting all her beads. When we got home she put them all in a wooden "pirate's"chest for the visiting nieces to play with.

A Voice From The Past

Talk Radio
In April of 1987 my father, Gordon R. Nelson, had a telephone interview about his cookbooks with talk radio host, Tom Carrol, of WENE, apparently in Endicott, NY. The interview was suggested by one of Dad's fans in the area. Sometime afterward a tape of that interview was send to my parents home. My mother and I listened to it for the first time today. I captured it digitally and post it here for the rest of the family to listen to.
