I'm above timberline here and miss the smell of the fresh pine scented mountain air, instead I smell the tundra that grows in the higher elevations of... the Rocky Mountains and it's just not the same. But as usual the sun is out, the skies are clear and I'm free from all the chains that held me back last week. No, it's more than that: I'm free of the chains that had held me down for years. Now that I've changed directions again I kick it into overdrive to make it hard as hell for the crunchy. Growing up lonley in the lone country side of Iowa can make a you feel and think that way quite easily. Hell, I even thought dogs were better then my own species. Growing up, my family purchased dozens of animals. My father being a farmer I guess they need to do that. We had animals like horses, pigs, cows, bulls, chickens, sheep, dogs, and even an ostrich we called Phillip. As a young child on the farm I found all the animals amazing, and quickly grew a liking to them. You can even call it a. She dropped the other guy and three months later I asked her to marry me and she never even hesitated when she said yes. Our sex life has it's ups and downs.Which is why I am writing this. I have friends who are divorced two or more times. They complain after the excitement and heat is over they have nothing left in common with their spouse and they grow apart.Erin and I have two children and they were both wanted. Although not as much now as then. I kid. Beth who is nine and James who is. Pete an' Royce wear clothes to protect 'em from the work, but take it off, for the most part, in the house. They say it ain't fair that we go naked all by ourselves. Our combined families believe in sharing our love for each other, and feel like we are just one big family, with a few different names. YOU are a part of that family, now. You have our respect and our love. WELCOME TO THE FAMILY!!!" The men had turned in their chairs to listen to the women. They turned to the 3 new men. David.
