Step by step
Slowly but surely, I’m building a full and rich life.
I have to believe that. Maybe happiness comes later.

I’m perfectly pleasant and a gentleman, and never obnoxious ... but pretty much me.This beautiful pink coral vine is a buzzing city of bees. #pinkcoral #vines #bees #summer #texasThe sunset reminded me of Luke Skywalker on Tatooine ... dreaming of adventure. #starwars #skywalker #sunset #texas #becarefulwhatyouwishforEven Nature is celebrating this World Cup weekend. ❤️⚽️💥🌈 #satx #fifaworldcup #copamundial #rainbow #sweden #england #russia #croatia #natureOn July 4, 1863, the day after George Meade's Army of the Potomac defeated Robert E. Lee's Army of Northern Virginia at Gettysburg, Pa., the besieged city of Vicksburg -- the key to restoring Union control of the Mississippi River -- finally surrendered to U.S. Grant. Every year I celebrate Grant's titanic victory with some apple pie buried in an avalanche of sliced organic Fuji apples, Poteet strawberry ice cream, heavy whipping cream and some drops of Texas wildflower honey. Tastes like ... victory. #civilwar #georgemeade #usgrant #gettysburg #vicksburg #applepie #icecream #whippedcream #honey #fujiapples #victory #1863In my capacity as news editor, and since I have a reporter interviewing fans this morning, I’ve officially declared the Mexico-Brazil game a developing news story. Therefore, I will have to monitor this event throughout the morning. ❤️⚽️Even Dick is feeling the World Cup this weekend. #worldcup #nixon #iamnotacrook #weekendvibes #copamundial ❤️🇺🇸✌🏻✌🏻⚽️Me ready for the weekend ...A beautiful Portuguese Man-of-War on Malaquite Beach, one of several washed onto the sand. #malaquite #beach #padreisland #texas #jellyfish #portuguesemanofwar #watchyourstepFlickr Photos
