The views in Oak Creek Canyon, AZ are a sight to see, even with the 45 degree water at Slide Rock State Park. Here, sons Eric and Dan enjoy a restful moment after several "slides" down the river.

The Memories of Winter

Author's Note: That time of year, special for all, is described in this poem. Look for the memories you may have within this festive prose.


When the snowy time of year appears,
our friends and family draw near,

To grandma and grandpa’s can be heard,
the sound of children and their joyous word,

Gathered round the table, each with cup in hand,
this time of year, how it is so grand!

Steaming cups of coco, warm to hands and hearts to be,
a plate of cut-out cookies, a delight to for all to see,

Snowmen, Santas, reindeer, trees  and bells,
a different shape, with magnificent colors and smells,

Pick yours, then pass the rest, at this magical family fest,
that snowy time of year, certainly better than all the rest!
