Why are you surprised?
Life is forever changing.
Every day is new.

Before I begin, let me say I’ve missed you guys! Wait, I’ve missed y’all. That sounds right.



Now that summer is here, I hope you’re able to kick back,splash in a river, listen to some music, or just read a good book.



Speaking of books, I did manage to finish that second… Continue

Road rash and ice packs.
No straight muscle speed for weeks.
Damn, this really sucks!

The weekend



Like a distant memory

It was brief, but fun



My son and I went to a wedding on Friday, it was beautiful. God was smiling down on us, for the rain stopped in time for the decorations to be set up and it stayed dry for the ceremony. :) The reception was busy, busy, busy and I enjoyed every moment of it. The drive home was long and the car ride scared me because the car…

A Muggy Night, A Sister, and a Guy Named James Taylor





It’s a steamy night in Eastern Pennsylvania where I grew up and still call home. I just turned on the TV, and immediately a piece of pure joy popped up. James Taylor and Carole King are singing Sweet Baby James together. It put me in mind of another hot and steamy night many years ago when my sister and I actually went somewhere together.



This sister is about a decade older than I am, so we didn’t officially grow up together. We… Continue

True love will not fade,
Forever staining a heart,
Oftentimes tie-dyed.

Did You Ever See A Minnow? copyright 2010 by Rick Reiley

Did you ever see a minnow

Skate across a pond?

Wearing an overcoat and hat

With his mittens on?



Did you ever see a minnow

Roast weenies on the fire?

Or…

Sweet Summer Raindrops



On my nose and toes they are

Oh how they tickle



I don't know, that just came to mind...all this talk of rain and then today it did rain and I was soaked while bringing in the groceries today. But, after the humid days we've had so far; the rain felt nice. So here's my little haiku.…

Secure in my whole
I hide from chaos and noise
Your variance brings.

What Do We Know?



Delve deep into your sub-conscience

Let the thoughts envelope you in the silence

What have you found?



Do your deepest desires make you smile?

Do they make you cry?

What do you find when you look at the real you?

Who do you see?



The thoughts swirl around in my head

Both dark and light

Sometimes what I see frightens me

And sometimes it makes…

Wet cool and windy.
A summer evening rainstorm.
Thunder is alive!

That was a surprise!
Now I cannot forget you
And that thing you do.

We Are What We Know....

I had another birthday a few weeks ago, so I have finally admitted that I'm middle aged. There. I said it.

I took my time accepting that term but I have never been one for conforming just because it was time.

I'm the same person inside as I always was ; I just happen to own more moisturizer, eye cream, and comfortable

shoes. I…

Thank you for serving.
You put your life on the line
And lost it for me.

You are who you are.
No one should ever be told
"Justify your self."

Summer Aleady?

'Summer Already?'







Christmas Eve, New Year's Day, June first.....wait a minute....what happened?



Gets more noticeable every year. Time has a way of slipping up on even the best prepared among us.



Now, today, we have the whole summer ahead of us. And before we know it...Halloween, New Year's Eve all over again.









Where did summer go? Where…

I've never been there,
But I'm not afraid to go.
Don't cry when I'm gone.

Trapped heat drives out chill,
Slowly soaking into me.
Baking in the car.
