Where I got my nicknames

My first nickname was "given" to me when I was about 16 from my "party" friends. I was sitting in a friends' living room and I asked that someone open the window. There was a guy that kept trying to think of a nickname for me. Then he said that Buckwheat was a good one as I liked the country and fresh air. It stuck, and all those friends knew me by Buckwheat. I am sad to say that at least one of those friends are not alive now, as his life of booze and drugs and heartache drove him to an early... Sign in to see full entry.

God does not find us dull but endlessly interesting!

I have to get up at 6:00, so decided to write here instead of in my written journal. I don't have time and am tired. I am going to put a quote from a book I have been reading lately. It is by Julia Cameron. It's about writing and art. The quote is amazing and a life changer if a person takes it to heart I think. "Oh, who cares," we sometimes think at our most blue moments. "I am boring and writing about it all is boring too." At times like these we need to imagine that we are writing to someone... Sign in to see full entry.

Back in the USA

I thought the trip up to Tucson would be uneventful. It started out fine. We left the village at 9:00, with the windows locked and the house looking as if we were only leaving for a weekend. We got gas in Toltecas, 5 miles away and bought snacks at the store.

About this Blog

I plan on writing about past and present life experiences and what I have learned from them. I also want to tell stories of things in my past, some humourus, some serious and some trivial. I have done some traveling and want to describe those places and people accurately, maybe in some cases changing names if I see it could embarrass someone. I will write out of my heart and hopefully give hope to some of my readers. I do not have all the answers, but have lived long enough to know there are many trials in life and obstacles. I want to examine life, it's simplicities and complexities and share my observation and at times opinions with others.
