SKETCHES FROM WHEREVER

i really enjoy spending time with my wife. she's so much fun to be around. she's so passionate. so encouraging. she's my better half. all those little things i only think about doing she does. yesterday morning we got up a little earlier, got some donuts and drove to lake grapevine. it was a great start to a great day. we walked around in the water, skipped some rocks. it was fun. then here's where the "she's my better half" part comes in. i'm walking barefoot in the water and before a take my next step i notice something half buried in the sand. i reach down in the water and pull out a broken piece of glass. sick nasty! upset that i almost cut open my foot, my passionate tree huggin' hippie wife is now picking up every bit of trash she can find on the shore. she's so cool. and i'm standing there thinking, "you know, that's a good idea. why not. i should help." so i try to keep up and together we pick up a few things here and there as we make our way back to the car. even though we didn't get everything it still felt good to be doing something.
