Life's Harvest

This is one of the places I go to when I go to Oregon - it's been a long time since I've been there.  This is the view from the condo of one of my best friend's.  Yes, it is cold as it looks lol.  But it's so beautiful...the sounds of the boats rocking in the water, the masts clanging against the masts themselves, the sound of the water hitting the hulls.  Seagulls screaming out looking for their meals, to the right of the boats you see here is where the fishing boats anchor and clean their catches of the night...the seals go there and eat the things the fishermen throw over the sides.  There is a mound of rocks projecting out of the water there where the seals rest...at night you can hear them talk to each other, the sound carries across the water and it is so relaxing.  There is a fishing village there (to the right of the fishing boats) w/ little taverns, shops etc.  It's a very wonderful place to be.  I miss it.  But by now anyone who "knows" me knows how much I miss home.

I know that I will most probably never get C. to move there, her family is here and her nephew who is her prime reason (I think) of living.  I will call him "B boy" - before B boy was born he had a sister, his sister was killed by a teenage drunk driver when she was 7.  B boy came along after.  When he was born it was discovered that he had a tumor on (in) his brain so when he was a day old he had brain surgery.  They removed the tumor but it also left him with stroke like effects on the left side of his body.  He is developmentally disabled as well as physically disabled.  C. is devoted to him.  He is the reason that she will never leave.  C's mom has custody of him but actually it is both C. and her mom that takes care of B boy. 

Going to go now. Bye.
