Fun House

I know that summer is still a few days away, but I'm calling it early. This reflection in a big boat reminds of the fun house at Old Orchard Beach that as kids we use to venture to summers. The yacht itself, still on dry land as summer approaches, seems symbolic of a big kid's 'fun house' forestalled for unknown reasons. Push ahead with your dreams. Dreaming is important. Sometimes our dreams manifest themselves in much more than mere reflections of things that could have been. There are times in our lives when dreams, like this boat, WILL hit the water.

"All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them." Walt Disney

  6. I'd like to take a ride on a boat like this.

    Now, Birdman, I must reply to your comment about how many ghost towns are there in Texas posted on my picture of the old theater in Timpson. Timpson is far from a ghost town. It has a population of over 1,000 people, a bank, a working drugstore a dry cleaners, a feed store, two dollar stores, a grocery store, one of the best tractor repair facilities in this part of the state and even a What-a-Burger! It just looks like a ghost town. It even got national news coverage a few weeks ago when it was the site of a 4.something earthquake!

  8. Funny reflections. I didn't actually get to see any yachts during my recent visit to the Royal Canadian yacht club, so this is nice! :)

  11. You just reminded me that for a while I kept thinking that Walt Disney was the greatest man who ever lived. I do not think that anymore, but still he sent around a lot of fun...

  12. Well, optimism doesn't hurt if it's tempered with some reality. Old Walt may have have been overstating the point. Dumbo is the only elephant I've heard of who learned to fly.
