New Version Joy Set Up
What more could I ask for? What I am is more than I could dream up! Just look at myself. Take a look around. None of it I can completely understand. But all this is what I am. All this is what it is. A beautiful living being. A beautiful planet full of other beautiful […]
Only Moments Make Up a Life
August Moody here…. In moments we live and in every one there is truth But still, little do we know This life, be born in truth or spoof We must employ these moments to truly live and grow And this is all we have to share And in darkness we think we see ‘Tis little […]

Traveling and Unplanned Events
Joy and I are in Missouri visiting some of her family members: Robbie, her brother and his wonderful family in Osceola. Now we are visiting Lisa, her sister, farther up north, another very loving and welcoming bunch! So much to be told of Robbie, Laura, Phillip and Gordon. They have bought land and begun from […]
Art Chair
I think it is done: The Chair Art is such a many faceted endeavor. I enjoy it immensely while on the other hand it seems a huge, frivolous and totally unnecessary expenditure of time. The Chair is for sale, $1000.00. The sale of it, although creating a huge loss of something I have put my […]
Rolling Thunder Through an Open Window
With window open rain fell as if the night sky was playing a piece from its most loved composer, a master piece. The percussionist was at her best. I don’t believe I have ever heard thunder roll for so long and so magnificently. The long last ending seemed to rattle the window one last time […]
A Close Brush With Dolly
Corpus Christi was visited by Hurricane Dolly on the 23rd of July. It seemed as if it would never become much of a threat, especially for us. Just before it came ashore, Dolly moved a little more north than expected and for 24 hours the wind howled and it poured down rain off and on. […]

A Few Words from August Moody
” If you find yourself alive, even if for a short time, live it up! And I don’t know of anyone who ever has more than a short time.” ” Remember that when you enjoy to mix in an equal portion of love, and visa versa. Don’t get too serious about one to forget the […]
Surfing: Father to Son to Grand Daughter
They say that the best is always yet to come. Seeing myself looking old is made joyful by the great pleasure I get from my son and grand daughter. So, I believe. This is one of those days that Joy and I met Chris and Skyler at the beach. Water temp: around upper 50’s. But […]
