I won, I won.......

Today my new book came in the mail.  I won it by posting on the author's blog.  The name of the book is Writer Mama:  How to Raise a Writing Career Alongside Your Kids, By Christina Katz. I have not started reading it yet but the title tells me I should replace "your kids" with "your grandkids." Speaking of grandkids.  Mine have been a little testy today.  One homeschooling, one home with sinus problems and one just being four.......  Well after a good night's sleep maybe I will be at my best tomorrow.  Or maybe not...... Just depends on which side of the bed I wake up on and whether the sun is already coming through the blinds when I do wake up.  Just kidding, of course I don't sleep that late.  How can I when there are three kids in the house and two dogs.  When I think about it though it is the dogs that wake me up early.  On weekdays you have to pry the kids out of the bed in time to go to school. Yesterday on the way home from Truxno I had three kids in the backseat and one in the front.  Joleigh decided she was going to throw up and told me to pull over.  When I did she says, "Where do you think I am supposed to throw up the store is closed."  I told her beside the car.  She said she felt fine and told Gavin to close the door.  Kids....  I guess she wasn't as sick as she thought she was.  We made it home just fine with no more stops.......Today has been a busy day and tonight will be time to just relax and watch Dancing with the Stars results night and American Idol..........what would we do without our reality TV?  We must not have enough of it in our own lives........

My little Lilly growing all alone

How smooth your velvet petal

One day your shining in your glory

Next day your almost gone





I love to see your soft delight

Your sense of dewey love

There is a freshness that dawns for me

In morning's early light

TRIBUTES TO THOSE WHO SERVED IN VIETNAM AND THOSE THAT DIED

VARIOUS PICS FROM VARIOUS PLACES IN MAGNOLIA

When you were my little sister
Sometimes I didn’t like you much
You were a brat, and ratted on me
When I thought I knew it all

Even though you got spanked
It was a fun ride huh?
Golf carts required no license
So why should that Barracuda?

I always wondered if the keys would
Ever be found
I didn’t tell you then cause
Besides being a brat you tattled

But then we grew up and went separate ways
You grew into a lovely young woman
You were still my little sister
But not the brat I once thought you were

We’ve shared many moments together
Stumbled and fell, yet never failed
To be there for each other
Sisters are that way

My prayer for you this special day
Is to see life come full circle
To know your worth is measured
In the kindness you bestow

We share that special bond
Only sisters can attest
To understand, not judge, just love
No matter how we fail

So be happy, enjoy the rain when you
Hoped the sun would shine
Change only if you want to
Sometimes roses bloom in winter.

Happy Birthday

How to treat others.............

Untitled

The leaves are gone and bare branches solicit the heavens The warm days are spent, lingering blades of grass Glisten from the morning frost Seeking absolution from their iniquities. Ensuing eradication wounds the external covering And when they have relented at last The hope of resurrection rests in the seed That was scattered long ago. By Debbie Aycock Williams copyright 2009

Life's not the breath you take..........Oh my God, they take my breath away!

CAN'T GET ENOUGH OF THE OLD COUNTRY STUFF




Kathryn how do I describe the overwhelming pride you bring to my heart?
When I think back to that rainy night you were born until this very day that is
Filled with sunshine and happiness, accomplishments and expectations of what tomorrow holds, I remember a precious first grandchild, What excitement ensued.

From the time you pushed the front door open and went head over heals down the steps and we spent half the morning in the emergency room. Of course you were fine and I was a wreck. The hours we spent reading and playing will always be memories I cherish like no others. Memories of birthday parties, a scared little girl going into the operating room, Christmas and Easters at Granddaddy ‘s and Mama Kitten’s, vicious bathtubs, special times of doing nothing but being together. There are memories here: Toys you played with, books you read, notes you wrote and pictures you drew; Saved in a box with your name on it and They are all here in my heart, the same heart that is filled with love and pride for you Kathryn, For all you stand for, the caring, loving, kind woman you have become. You are one of God’s gifts to me. I love you.

SPECIAL THOUGHTS FROM OTHERS

Widget available from writingdramatica
As I walk through my garden I touch the tiny leaves
Of my lonely rose bush

It stands all alone, by itself
No other nearby

The hibiscus grow profuselThey entertain each other with colors of purple and white

And mix together as the wind blows
Back and forth

But my little lonely rose bush
Has no other to share its quiet beauty

Only the bees occasionally fly by
And my fingertips when I feel the velvet petal

Someday soon, I shall plant another rosebush
So my lonely rose won't stand alone

And when I no longer walk through the garden
My little rose won't miss my loving touch.
