Off The Beaten Path

Some people come into our lives and quickly go. Some people move our souls to dance. They awaken us to new understanding with the passing whisper of their wisdom. Some people make the sky more beautiful to gaze upon. They stay in our lives for awhile, leave footprints on our hearts, and we are never ever the same.

The Penguins

Georgia Aquarium

I used to have a thing for penguins. I suppose it was because my daughter-in-law Tina was collecting them, so it kind of rubbed off on me. I used to search ebay and yard sales for little ceramic penguins, statues, pictures, or stuffed penguins to give to her. She had quite a collection, so I bought her a four shelf display case to keep them in. That was about 10 years ago. She divorced my son back in about 2003 or 4. I loved her dearly and we had many good times together. (She had Andrew just 10 months after Nick was born, so my son and my Grandson are almost the same age.) Anyway, I can't see a penguin now without a pain in my heart, I still love them, but I don't buy little penguin figurines anymore.
