Sitting on the Deck

 The Kadizzles are living in a different universe. We are pretty much settled in our new home. One of the best pleasures of the new abode is the deck. Our deck is huge and encompasses the east and north side of the house. Actually the corner probably points about due north. The net result is we can move about on the deck and get any sunshine combination we want. Another great bonus is the view. Too much of our life we were sitting on the prairie with a limited view.  Ah, the deck, and the view. Now we can see mountains in every direction. We sit on top of a hill, so the world below is all visible.  To top it off we can sit in the house and have a panoramic view in all directions. We had a nice home in Hazen, but it had no where near the lighting this place does. The sun comes a peepin into where I ma sleepin. 

Lift is too short to spend in one place. The Kadizzles have lived in some vastly different places. We both grew up in the east with hills and trees. Then we moved to the prarie.  Now we are essentially in high desert, or who knows what.  Actually we are in a transition zone between desert and forested mountains. 

This week we go to Denver to see Sylvie.  Our precious little girl has turned 13. Grandpa brags, but Sylvie is an amazing kid. She has so many talents. She can act, and has mastered art, she skis, plays soccer, and is a good writer. Her buzzing active brain is a computer that requires management. Erin, her mom, has her hands full. The teenage years will be a test of endurance. Sylvie has been a handful to manage. Our kids Megan, and Erin seemed easy.  Megan now is enamoured with her two little gems. Megan has always loved playing with dolls, and little characters. To have two live dolls puts Megan in heaven. Evie goes to school, but Quinn is home all day for Megan to play with. You could not have a better mom than Megan. 

Kadizzle has always loved kids. It is a puzzle to see parents that seem to have little interest in their munchkins. Good parenting is an art, and the rewards are endless. In today's world so many people have substituted dogs for children.
