Good evening, Victoria. I missed you yesterday. That is a beautiful poem and I love that graphic.
I talked to Misty tonight ... she said to tell everyone hello.
She will probably be in California for another week.

[JustAmy]

Hi yourself!!! What a lovely bouquet. thank You!

[JustAmy]

I'm so sorry about Gizmo. Charlie sounds like just what you need at this time. Give him a hug from P & P!

[Victoria Delsoul]

Hi Amy! Thanks so much for the flowers. They're lovely.

I missed you too, and I miss Misty. Hope things are going well.

So good to see you, Amy.

Thank you for posting the beautiful picture of your great-grandmother.
Isn't it sad to realize how many children lost their mothers at that time. My great-grandmother died giving birth to a baby girl in 1903. She left 7 children; the oldest was 14.

Hi Vicoria. Happy Friday to you, too.

YOU'LL LOVE ME YET
Robert Browning

You'll love me yet!--and I can tarry
Your love's protracted growing;
June rear'd that bunch of flowers you carry
From seeds of April's sowing.

I plant a heartful now: some seed
At least is sure to strike,
And yield--what you'll not pluck indeed,
Not love, but, may be, like.

You'll look at least on love's remains,
A grave's one violet:
Your look?--that pays a thousand pains.
What's death? You'll love me yet!

[JustAmy]

Good Morning BeforeISleep. Hope you have a fun-filled week-end.

A cat shows up at the Pearly gates of heaven.

St. Peter says, "I know you! You were a very nice cat on earth and didn't cause any trouble, so I want to offer a gift to you of one special thing you have always wanted."

Cat: "Well, I did always long to own a nice satin pillow like my master had, so I could lie on it."

St. Peter: "That's easy. Granted. You shall have the satin pillow after you enter in."

Next a group of mice appeared.

St. Peter: "Ah, I remember you! You were such good mice on earth. You didn't steal food from anyone's house and never hurt other animals. Therefore, I want to grant you one special wish you always wanted."

The Chief Mouse replied, "Well, we always watched the children playing and saw them roller skate. It was beautiful and it looked like so much fun. So can we each have some roller skates, please?"

St. Peter: "Granted. You shall have your wish."

Next day, St. Peter is making rounds inside the Gates and sees the cat.

"Well, Cat...did you enjoy the satin pillow?"

Cat: "Oh, indeed I did. And say....that "Meals-on-Wheels" thing was a nice touch, too!"

Friends

A friend is someone we turn to
when our spirits need a lift,
A friend is someone we treasure
for our friendship is a gift.
A friend is someone who fills our lives
with beauty, joy, and grace
And makes the whole world we live in
a better and happier place.
