Long time no see!

Hey there! It's been a while since we last had the chance to visit a bit. Lots of things to update you on, but I won't bore you with all the gory details. Suffice to say that we are now back in Missouri. Home again! April and I both really missed the Ozark Mountains. The Susquehanna Valley is pretty and all, but it's just not home. 2013 was a pretty rough year for us, but we came out good in the end. I've started my horse training business back up again and I'm pushing hard for spring.
      I've started my day out today with a bowl of Anniversary Kake in a straight clay pipe. Very smooth smoke and a really good little pipe. I'd have to say it's one of my favorite pipes.
     It's that time again. Yes, yes, I know. You don't deserve this kind of treatment. Well, tough luck. You're gonna get it anyhow. Here is the next installment from the mind of the Moose. Since they are so short, I'm posting two today:

To live, to love,

What does it all mean?

Is it a curse,

Or a blessing?

Luck, or fate?

No one truly knows.

5

Love,

Some want to analyze it,

Try to pick it apart.

Love is not to be speculated,

Nor to be put under a microscope.

It’s to be felt,

To be dreamed;

By young lovers under a star filled sky.

By the elderly couple,

Married now for 70 years.

It is an emotion, nay,

‘Tis more than just that,

It is everything, all consuming.

It’s you.
