Too Old to Hold

Too Old to Hold

Mom I 'm seven now
And I'm much to old to hold!
What all the fellas will say
You don't want to know!

I really love you Mom
And I know you like to gush,
But I'm really much too old
For all those hugs and mush!

Mom, I'm 13 now and I'm much too old kiss
I don't want to make you think
That I am being inconsiderate
Or that I love you any less!

But I have my friends to think of
And what they think of me
And they would tease and taunt me
If they should happen to see!

Mom, I'm off to collage now
And I guess it will be just fine
If you want to give me a hug
In the reception line!

I don't mind a little kiss
Placed upon my cheeck
Heck, my new girlfriend
Thinks that's rather sweet!

Mom, this letter is to tell you
That the Navy isn't too bad
I think of all of you each day
Especially you and Dad.

I long for the touch of home
Especially your loving embrace
I miss your hug around my neck
And the sweetness of your face.

Mom, I think that you should know
That of all the things I miss
More than any other
Is your gentle good night kiss.

I got a new haircut, really short and I did this page to tease the ladies in the PUB at Two Peas.

A Memorial Day Thank You

Memorial Day Thank You

Thank you to each one
Who has a husband, wife
daughter or son
Fighting in a land across the sea
To provide freedom for you and me.

Thank you to those who serve
In our own land or far away
Thank you from our hearts
On this somber celebration day.

Thank you to those who fought long ago
For the freedoms we sometimes take so casually
Those who gave their lives while still so young
To keep this nation free.

Thank you to those who were husbands and dads
Those who were daughters, moms and wives
Who so long ago in our history on foreign soil
Gave that ultimate sacrifice...their life.

Thank you to each sweetheart
Who kissed their loved one goodbye
And who must everyday watch anxiously
And try not to worry and cry.

Thank you to each mother
Of daughter or of son
Who sent them off when duty called
And considered it a sacred one.

Thank you to grandparents
Who had to watch those they love so much
Go off to fight in a foreign land
And who long for just one more touch.

Thank you to the parents who taught their children
That our nation deserves their loyalty
And the dedication and sometimes sacrifice
If we are going to remain brave and free.

And thank you to God above us
Who watches over us and loves us
And gave us the land that we adore
A land with freedom worth fighting for....

Pray to God that our flag
Will today and always proudly wave
Over our America, land of the free
Our beloved America, Home of the Brave!

San Diego is the Place to Vacation!

This may cause traffic jams that will not be good for the area, but if you are looking for a place to vacation-San Diego is a lovely place to be! It could be that I am biased but I always vacation here. It seems a shame to go somewhere else when Heaven is just a local call! :-)

This little note was inspired by the lastest photos I printed out from my daily walks around the bay. I am so appreciative of the beauty of the shore, the skyline and the folks of San Diego. I get the best of both worlds from my view on the shores of Coronado.

Posted with permission...DT call

Copied from Sugargiggles blog:  http://www.sugargiggles.com/ I am so excited to announce a call for my design team. I am looking for 3 extremely creative and talented people to make up my team. Call lasts until June 2nd and team members will be announced on my blog on the June 5th!

Maybe Tomorrow...

Maybe tomorrow I can tell you why I'm sad. Tonight is not the right time. But maybe tomorrow I can show you the photos of the storm damaged tree that we had to cut down and the others that had to be trimmed back. Maybe tomorrow it will make sense that trees whose roots are causing damage to the sidewalk have to be removed. Maybe tomorrow I will be able to say "Oh, they were just trees!" and not feel that after 25 years they were leafy family members... maybe tomorrow, but tonight I feel such a sense of loss...

The Best Book on Color

As a strictly unbiased opinion, Bluegrass Publishing has a brand new book on color that is the best I've seen! If you have been disappointed in other books on this "colorful subject" I suggest you check it out at www.theultimateword.com!

American Idol

I wish this show had a different name.....I watch it but I feel a twinge of guilt because of the title because I have no idols and certainly not a teen or twenty something pop star. Many of the contestants(the ones kicked off for various things) in the past have proven that their lives are not what we would even want our youth to mimic, much less idolize. Couldn't they call it something else? :-)

These young folks are singers, or wanna be singers/stars but not idols......we don't want them to think they are worthy of "fan worship". It bothers me.........now you know.
