Greetings friends, and Happy Holidays to all. Someone should have a big bash and invite Rachel, Phil, Cyndie, and yours truly. If that's not going to happen , maybe Rachel and I will have everyone over for an open house...more on that later. Blessings...

Its getting late, but Charlie Rose has Belinda Gates on and I'm listening. Earlier this week, I forced Rachel to watch a town hall meeting @ Columbia University w/ Bill Gates and Warren Buffet - can't hurt listening to those people... I'm putting up some pictures of a changed man. Phil watched 6 World Series Games w/Rachel and I, had an epiphany, asked me to get him a Yankee cap and shirt, and he's able to say Hideki Matsui 3 times fast! cheers from Camp Happy. remember Rachel's Birthday party @ our house Sunday afternoon

Ola me amigo's e amiga's...the sun sets (too!) early these days. The leaves have been raked once and we're all wearing sweaters and jackets. It's best to just hunker down, hug your mate, and let those Corona commercials warm your thoughts and bones. Jesse Colgrove is alive and well, drinkin' his Mt. Dew in Michgan.

hey, just wanted to show some more pix from 'Camp Happy'... Must confess my disappointment over the fact that no-one has taken advantage of the 'comments' option. FYI, Phil gave his consent to  include shot of his quizzical expression. Enjoy, from all of us @ 'Camp Happy'

good morning all...happy daylight saving time. Cyndie, Phil, Rachel, and I had no trouble adjusting to time change, and it brings with it the reminder of 'Spring'. Enjoy latest photos, and feel the love!

4435 Cody St., Wheatridge, Colorado...where miracles happen. Rachel Wolcott is a 'Home Care Provider' for two ,  disabled individuals; Phillip Walker, a 49 yr. old quadraplegic, and Cyndie Benedick, a 56 yr old deaf women, also wheel-chair bound. Me...? I'm just someone who God has seen fit to place in immediate contact with what He's doing in Phil and Cyndie's life through Rachel. For example, each of them start their day with a hot breakfast, liquid vitamins, and prunes...? Soda and other sugars are not in evidence at 4435 Cody St.. what you will find is purified water and blueberry juice. Rachel spends 1 to 2 hours in the evening showering (a la hoyer lift) and bedding both. Rachel and Phil say a little prayer together and Cyndie gets about a 10 minute hug. Is it any wonder that  Phil and Cyndie are seen smiling a lot in the attached photos ?
