Thats a darling graphic, Billie!

Yeah, it will be a better day. Waiting for the Rental people to come and fix the flat and take the car and leave! Hate waiting and not know when they will come! If we can’t change it, we just swing with the punches, right?

See ya later....weather is nice here too, it will be a little hotter after while but thats okay too!

[jaycee]

Would it be hard for you to put those links up again, Rus?

Looks like I've been the sleepyhead this morning.
Sorry that I didn't get here sooner.
I was awake for a couple of hours early this morning, but
I had plenty of rest.

Now I need to catch up on the thread.
Hope everyone is having a mild, fuzzy Wednesday. *smile*

I always wondered if the Depression caused those ol’ timey sad songs or did the ol’ timey sad songs cause the Depression?

When I was about the same age as the kid in the graphic, there was a song called “Please Mommy Please Stay Home with Me” that always gave me a lump in my throat and a tear in my eye.

Sad opening poem today.
I came accross this graphic that seemed to envelope the words......

[fewz]

That does fit the song.

LIFE

LIFE, believe, is not a dream
So dark as sages say;
Oft a little morning rain
Foretells a pleasant day.

Sometimes there are clouds of gloom,
But these are transient all;
If the shower will make the roses bloom,
O why lament its fall?

Rapidly, merrily,
Life's sunny hours flit by,
Gratefully, cheerily
Enjoy them as they fly!

What though Death at times steps in,
And calls our Best away?
What though sorrow seems to win,
O'er hope, a heavy sway?

Yet Hope again elastic springs,
Unconquered, though she fell;
Still buoyant are her golden wings,
Still strong to bear us well.

Manfully, fearlessly,
The day of trial bear,
For gloriously, victoriously,
Can courage quell despair!

Charlotte Bronte (1816-1855)

Good afternoon, Jaycee.
Good thing that I'm on the left coast ... still have another hour of morning. :)
Hope that little clouds moves on today and things start looking much better.

Have a cool, fuzzy Wednesday.

[JustAmy]

Good afternoon, GeeBee.
We've missed you. Yesterday was a fun day.

Your little Warm furry feline fits right in. Thank you.

Hope your cloud moves out today. :)

Have a great day.

[JustAmy]

Good afternoon, Mayor. Happy Wednesday.

Thank you for today's ODB message.
We appreciate your daily posts.

Have a great day.

[JustAmy]

Good afternoon, Majie.
Happy Wednesday.

I'm having another slooooow day.
I'm so happy that you came by again today. We miss you.

Have a beautiful day.

[JustAmy]

Good afternoon Fewz.
I didn't get any cow graphics made yesterday so everyone gets cow jokes. :)

I remember several of the old western songs were sad.
When I was a kid, someone said ...
"Western songs are all alike; the guy either loses his dog or his girl."
Was it because it was a tough time and everyone was blue? I dunno.

Have a lovely day.

Howdy hi and a wonderful warm fuzzy Wednesday, Friends.

Freud was crazier than any of us.

To the rest of you:   Howdy hi and a wonderful warm fuzzy Wednesday, Friends.

Freud was crazier than any of us.

[yorkie]

Woa! I didn’t know until today, why Freud always wore loose shirts!

[Lady Jag]

Yup, cleavage.

It's not all Freud's fault that he was nuts; Pavlov contributed . . .
