    Outside My Window ~ 6.24.2012

    Outside my window…is a beautiful albeit hot day.  Blue skies….sunshine….puffy white clouds for the most part.  I am noticing some of the clouds are getting darker though….there is a chance for scattered thunderstorms this afternoon.  Right now it is 87°F with 47% humidity and a very slight breeze is present….very slight.  The low humidity is keeping the heat index at about the same level as our temperature.  I’m happy for this warm day….to see the sun shine…but at the same time, it doesn’t feel right either. I’m thinking about…so many things the past 36 or so hours….since I found out my step-father had passed away in the early morning hours…

    Papa Harris

    He always had a smile…. ….and one of the biggest hearts. He loved horses….fishing….Nascar….and a cold beer on a hot day. When someone needed help, he never hesitated. He was honored to serve his country in the Navy…. ….and after retiring from the military worked as a butcher. He was an excellent cook….I loved his fried rice. And without a doubt, he loved his family. Tonight our hearts are broken…. ….we love and miss you Papa.
