Alligator encounter!

I saw you today for the first time. I caught my breath as I watched you swim so close by. The water flowing off your back and your eyes glistening in the sun. You swim on past me in my boat as I continue to watch in total amazement, excited to be so close to you. Your eyes twinkle as you swim on to the shore and you gracefully glide out of the water onto the muddy bank to your favorite log. There you will lay in the sun to dry for a while. So I move on down the Pearle River out of your view. Thankful for our brief encounter.

Grandchild!

The first time I saw you, I could hold you in my two hands. You with tiny fingers and toes, perfect in every way. You looked at me with wonder in your brown eyes. I think for a moment I saw a small grin as your thumb found your mouth. Mom took you home and you grew so fast it seemed. From bottles and diapers to taking your first steps to Nana's arms.
Years of learning and growing now in school and almost a teenager. Big enough to borrow my cloths. We chat about everything, laugh and play games. I watch you practice being a cheerleader , and now your busy with band, ballgames and friends. With so much more to come, Soon you will be grown. My grandchild your my past and my future!

Missing You!

Longing for your touch on my skin, feeling of desolation without you again.
Wanting the feel of your body so close its touching mine.
The sweet taste of your kiss on my lips was so devine.
I can still smell your cologne even tho' your gone.
Come back, come back my love, for I'm lonely and all alone.

Sweet Summer Wine!

Strawberries, cherries, and stary nights,
a warm summer breeze excites,
with wine glasses in two's,
dancing together without shoes,
blanket on the grass,
we are alone at last,
love of all these things,
I give to you with no strings!

Love!

To experience love, is to hold dear, cherish, to feel a lover's passion, devotion or tenderness for you. To desire, take pleasure in or even to thrive in love. Love is to show great affection for your mate. I wish everyone could experience true love at least once in their life time.

Venting or Rage!

When a parent screems angryly at his child for something they did or didn't do and then the child re-acts with screeming anger, and slamming doors, and verbal abuse (from both, parent and child), are they both venting or in rage! As... venting is an opportunity or means of escape, passage or release, outlet like (finally gave- to his pent-up hostility). and Rage is uncontrolled anger, an intense feeling; or Ragged, as worn out from stress and strain.... SO is the above behavior of parent and child from stress and strain or pent-up hostility!!! And with this kind of behavior in a childs life how does, he or she , learn the diffence!

DID YOU EVER!

DID YOU EVER!
DID YOU EVER!!! I was fixing a lettuce and tomato salad. I shredded the lettuce and cut the tomatoe up in chunks and tossed them together in a bowl. I then took a small mixing dish down from the cabinet to mix my oil and vinegar dressing, that I love. I like the Bertolli Extra Light Olive oil, because it has a delicate light taste. I use the Balsamic Vinegar of Modena just because I like how it tastes. Then I add 1/2 teas. each of dried basil, oregano, parsley, celery salt and fresh minced garlic. And a little sea salt when I'm ready to eat it. Sooo, as I was just putting in the last of this list , the garlic....the dish tips over and it all spatters down the kitchen drawers and all over the floor and on my bare feet. Poor Hayle (my yorkie), didn't know what was the matter as I was yelling all kinds of bad words......What a mess!!!! So needless to say I had to clean up the mess and start all over. Finally I got to sit down and eat my salad.
