What if? Why not?

A lot of you, by now, know that I am working for Qwest again this summer. I am finding that if I blog, and can’t think of what to say when I blog, I should play the what if game with my topic.

Like,

What if .... my old man dies and I have to find a way to pay "the bills"?
What if ... the cattle don’t make money and hay has to be bought?
What if ... I don’t go anywhere or do anything fun?
What if ... Qwest really needs the extra help and they can’t find any body else?

And there is the why not game,

Why not ... give it a try one more year (I mean 1 more summer)?
Why not ... work and have the most fun while doing it?
Why not ... take the Qwest money and run?
Why not ... take a job where I can learn & challenge myself again?
Why not ... call it therapy and get my ankle and my knee in better shape?

So ... I am, I did, and I’m having a blast !!

Feelin' Groovy

The Simon and Garfunkel cd I just bought has a song on it called "Feeling Groovy." Does anybody remember this song? The cd is a remake or a re-release of an album from the late 60's when there were flower children singing of peace and love not war. The Feeling Groovy song has a line that goes "hello lamppost whatcha doin’... I’ve come to watch your flowers growin’"

Which brings me to what I’ve been doing this summer. Myself and seven other Qwest current and retired employees have volunteered to water the plants hangin’ on the lampposts on main street in Jamestown. The flowers are absolutely beautiful. The purple, fushia, pink and white petunias are thick with blossoms and many hang like carpet. A magnificent sight.

Like the Simon and Garfunkel song concludes "lookin’ for fun and feelin’ groovy". Here’s pictures of our Qwest volunteer bunch - Kelly, Colleen & Ray, Bob & Andrew, Charlie, Ty with Pam & Autumn, Wayne, Dave and myself. (Not all of the pictures fit on this post so check out the Qwest Volunteer post for the rest of the pictures.) I’ll keep humming ......slow down you’re moving to fast ...got to make the moment last....
