So I have been on travel all week in Key Largo, Florida for a work conference. Location is nice, but I haven’t really enjoyed it all that much – I have had TERRIBLE allergies and have pretty much been completely clogged up for the past two days. I know, I can hear the violins playing all over!
OK, I did venture out today after the meeting and took the 2.5-hour drive to Key West, ate a late lunch at the Hard Rock Cafe, and walked around. Shot the requisite pictures of the Southernmost Point marker and the Interstate 1 “Mile 0” sign. Then made the long drive home. Dinner was the finer cuisine of Waffle House, as there really wasn’t anything closer to the resort and I didn’t want to pay $40 for a hamburger!
I always miss Karen when I’m gone, but I usually don’t get sick – I’m not a very good patient or self-medicator – so this trip has been especially tough (in the most macho sense of something being tough!). I am ready to go home – to get out of the heat and humidity (I’m a native NorCal boy) – but most especially to see KAREN! She is so wonderful and I gladly claim Proverbs 18:22, “He who finds a wife finds what is good and receives favor from the LORD.”
Nothing too profound today…just a song dedication!
All I Want Is You
If I were a flower growing wild and free
All I’d want is you to be my sweet honey bee.
And if I were a tree growing tall and greeen
All I’d want is you to shade me and be my leaves
All I want is you, will you be my bride
Take me by the hand and stand by my side
All I want is you, will you stay with me?
Hold me in your arms and sway me like the sea.
If you were a river in the mountains tall,
The rumble of your water would be my call.
If you were the winter, I know I’d be the snow
As long as you were with me, let the cold wind blow
If you were a wink, I’d be a nod
If you were a seed, I’d be a pod.
If you were the floor, I’d wanna be the rug
And if you were a kiss, I know I’d be a hug
If you were the wood, I’d be the fire.
If you were the love, I’d be the desire.
If you were a castle, I’d be your moat,
And if you were an ocean, I’d learn to float.
