The Setting Sun Waits on No One

Time slips away fast.

I am edging the speedometer just over the limit as I race towards home. The green trees are a blur as the shiny red Toyota truck zips along towards the lake. Watching the sky...I know I'm not going to make it in time. "Dang if I just had a little more time!!" I say

I slam on the brakes hard!!!!!

In a instant...it is there and gone. A small doe deer has darted right across the highway infront of my truck. I miss it by mere inches.

So now I've missed two things. My daily sunset watching event and a small deer. Sad about one and glad about the other.

Tracie tries to hold up the sunset...just for ME!

So You ask, why are you in such a hurry just to get home?

I am anxious each and everyday to get back to our new home on the water.

I think to myself ....to Thank God!

For he has painted the sky today....just for us.
