i have always liked trees

As long as I can remember I spent a lot of time up in trees when I was young.
I grew up in a house surrounded by many easy to climb trees,
You could always find me up in one of them.
High up in the tree, it was my hiding place, my refuge,
away from everyone and the troubled world below.
It was my way of escape.

lucky charm

having been gone for six weeks my better half returned with two luggages full of goodies and among them was my favorite cereal...
the boys have their beef jerky, taco seasoning, and mac & cheese.
while chewing on the beef jerky my 18 year old said with his eyes closed: " Ah, felt like i'm in the States again."
