Congratulations on your Second (monthly) Anniversary! I had no idea that I had visited
every one of your postings-- and enjoyed the poetry, pictures and humor immensely. In this celebratory spirit -- in part to commemorate the refurbishing and redecoration of Amy's Place,
please allow me to swallow all dignity and pride, and post a Press Release from the UK earlier this year
that somehow (don't ask) seems to capture in some small way the spirit of the occasion:
Press Release
Citys toilets flush with success
Posted: 15/05/03
Parliament Street public toilets will re-open on Saturday morning (17 May) following a complete refurbishment and redecoration.
£20,000 has been spent on the facilities at Parliament Street as part of the councils £45,000 rolling programme of improvements to the citys public conveniences ahead of the main tourist season.
The Parliament Street loos have been completely re-decorated, with new floors and improved ventilation. An attendant will be on hand in the ladies loos from 8.00am until 8.00pm to ensure they are maintained to a high standard.
John Wood, City Centre Manager, said: The public conveniences in Parliament Street are a vital amenity for both residents and tourists. We have been concerned that some of the citys loos have not met the high standards we would expect and Im pleased that the refurbishment work will bring real improvements.
One part of the improvement scheme is already complete. The Museum Garden toilets re-opened at the end of March following extensive refurbishment work. The area around the toilet has been re-modelled to make it more open and pleasant, with a gravelled area replacing vegetation.
Other toilets in line for a makeover include Exhibition Square (mid June) and Tanner Row (July).

Nice to see that you found our new home.
When you get over that writing block, we need some new material.

Inspired by th eheadache that's causing the block to begin with:
Caught off guard I fell so hard
the bell then rang
around walked the girl with a card
My head sang like a bard
The bout was over, I'd lost my heart

Hey, I was looking at the pictures of our FReeper military on the Finest. I never realized how cute your brother is. You've got a nice looking family.

Upon a second reading of my Post # 43, I've come to realize that the prose of my posting does not fit suitably the beauty of the welcome wreaths, darling poems and sylvan settings so often displayed at Amy's Place.
Let this be a testament to the difficulty in finding an appropriate poem about refurbishment, redecoration, rebuilding, redesign, makeovers, facelifts and other surgeries -- not that they were necessary. Some search engines just don't go there.
As you can see, my selection instead reflected the effusive nature of praise that you so richly deserve for the work you do in creating and maintaining the site, and in encouraging others to contribute. The reference to public conveniences and amenities was strictly coincidental.
Well, I guess this means you won't be asking me for any new material soon. To quote a well-known British Prime Minister who spoke recently saying, "I know this is kind of late, but, Sorry."

Yes, that mouser is a real cootie, and I'll bet her compilations are a work of art, too.

Yes, your husband is a babe from babealonia, but I didn't want to say too much. I already said too much about Aqua's husband. Y'all will start thinking bad things about me. LOL
There was someone in there that looked a little like you. I can't remember now. I'll have to go look at the pictures again.
To: SpookBrat
Thank you for the beautiful music.
Both were wonderful and brought holiday spirit to our new home.
