stumbling along

I really love poems and as I have said before if I love it I will link it…

This is special, and I am grateful to the Author.(C. W. Longenecker)

Don’t Quit!

When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
When the road you’re trudging seems all uphill,
When the funds are low, and the debts are high,
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest if you must, but don’t you quit.

Life is queer with its twists and turns,
As every one of us sometimes learns,
And many a failure turns about,
when he might have won had he stuck it out;
Don’t give up though the pace seems slow,
You may succeed with another blow.

Success is failure turned inside out,
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,
And you never can tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems so far;
So stick to the fight when you’re hardest hit,
It’s when things seem worst, that
You Must Not Quit.

- C. W. Longenecker

This is my home. I grew up there. I visit almost every year. It is a small town, where the trees are short and the land is level. Now, I live where the trees are tall and the land is piled high with rock. I know ‘the One Red Paper Clip house’ that started all this for Kipling. My family is buried there, my brother and Mother and Father still live there. My brother is living on the farm I grew up on . My mother and Father live in Kipling.

Oh yeah, one more thing, Kipling cheers for the Ssk. Roughriders.

The small town of Kipling, Sask. is preparing for the unveiling of a major film shot there last winter. ‘It was like shooting at the North Pole,’ actor Corbin Bernsen says.

Let’s put this town on the map.

This is video of Teege’s teammate getting hit. He had to have stitches. J. was stitched up and back on the ice in a very short time. J. is tough and his Dad is a Doctor. It’s nice to have a doctor in the house.

Now this is so good, and the truth of Nelson. That is why we live here.

I am posting this picture because I remember Kyla phoned us in the winter during hockey and we want to get together and the timing wasn’t right. I will phone her to see if we can make it another day.

As my imagination sends me to the outer limits I receives a delicious kiss from the most beautiful spirit. Even if you try to explain your words, you cannot adequately convey what’s happening, in my magical flights of fancy. Sometimes it’s better not to talk about it, just be silent.
This is a good time for dreamers, so pursue your happiness and shared it with no one.

A friend was stumblingalong and found this news article about my favor little Saskatchewan town ‘Kipling”. He found this and he did what most people are doing these days he Facebooked it. Funny how we are traveling to this town this week to see my Mom and Dad, brothers and sisters.

Here is a link to the whole report.

Two balloonists in a New Mexico contest to see who could fly the farthest blew away the competition and ended up at a farm in Saskatchewan.

“It worked out well,” co-pilot Andy Cayton told CBC recently. “We were the only balloon to go due north.”

Cayton and his co-pilot, Stuart Enloe, set out from Albuquerque, N.M., last week, and after 61 hours in the air and 1,700 kilometers over the ground, they won top prize in the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta.

The two men from Georgia came down on a farm near Kipling, about 150 kilometers southeast of Regina...
