Home Is Where The Heart Is!

Home is where the heart is. That has a special meaning to most people. Well today it is EXTRA special! Today we go to get the keys to our very first home. Not an apartment, or anything like that, but a HOUSE! A 4 bedroom, 3 bathroom, hot tub and a mini bar in the finished basement house. It has a 2 car garage, a huge deck, 50x50 front yard, and a 50x100 (I think) backyard. You huys...this is like a dream come true! I just wish our friend Tim lived closer, I think he would really like our new house. It is just amazing....Gaelen our 5 yr old has done nothing, except ask us when we are moving into our new house. I honsetly think he is more excited then Tommy an I are. Whats even more awesome is that we finally get to have pets. We get to get Gaelen the dog he wants, and I get a kitty. We are ssoooo excited, man you have no idea. We were afraid we would be stuck in an apartment for a long time. I do not even remember how I found thise place....guess it was by the sheer grace of god that I found it. Guess all the good deeds I did finaly found their way home. Its a good feeling. Well thats it, gotta go get ready to go get the keys for Casa de la Wetzel.

The Maiden and the Dragon

The Maiden and the Dragon
by Artemis J. Wetzel




A dragon traveling one winter’s eve

Did see a thing he could not believe.

A maiden with ivory skin so fair,

Filling jars with snow that had fallen there.

And harshly her tattered cloak did blow,

As she stood and shivered in the heavy snow.

So gentle and warm was the light in her eye

That the mighty Dragon began to cry.



And so a disguise he did don that day,

With selfless intent to take the fair maiden away.

Away to a place so safe and warm,

Disguised as a woodsman gathering wood for the storm.



But on his arrival to her home he finally did see

That the cold young maiden rocked a child, not yet three.

So the mother’s intentions for the snow now shined true,

To heat for her child now blue, a bath to warmth renew.

The great mighty Dragon knew that they must take flight,

Or their time would be up by dawn’s first light.



And so fast on his back did he bear them away,

And in the guise of the woodsman, with them he did stay.
