I am so Lucky........


I'd been working and needed a "set down and recoup break" I went back, re-read, and responded to every get well wish and prayer that I didn't have the strength to do so coupled with the medication they'd pumped into me. A person's wealth is not measured in gold or silver but in to persons he counts as friends.
Thank You,
Bret in North Iowa.



Drought in North Iowa

Here you see the Mighty Iowa River reduced to a trickle. Normally canoes, inner-tubes, and kayaks are able to ply the waterway but our extreme lack of rain in August and September has taken it's toll on the recreational aspects of our river.



I AM LUCKY in that while on the bridge taking pictures I captured a Grey Heron just about to take flight as I snapped the picture.



These long legged birds walk the shallows catching their lunch in small fish, crayfish, and snails.



I AM LUCKY to have MUTTs Inc. I made us Chicken Alfredo over noodles with garlic bread. On the way from the stove I tipped my plate a bit too much and lost a garlic bread to the floor that Ronnie snatched up in a New York Second!



Every day whether or not we notice it we have so much to be thankful for.... Each day given us should be spent in the most positive endeavors your mind can imagine.

 It's great to have you as a friend Bret, and I treasure every communication with you whether by email, blogs, or in chat. You took some beautiful pictures. Fall is always a time when you can capture fantastic colors in the foliage and also in sunset and sunrise.
