I have a lot of graphics to be re-sized but have not done it yet! Like your round-tuit! A long time ago I had some pot holders with that on them. They are worn out and thrown away by now!

Well, my Saurday’s not too exciting. Maybe a few more cups of coffee. Then the excitement will be floor washing, laundry and changing linens in the motorhome which I’d planned to do two days ago.

It’s a gorgeous day, 72 and dry and I’m gulping coffee and watching FOX coverage of the the plane/chopper crash in NY.

Got work to do and looking for my get up and go.

Happy Yellow Lab

Biscuit
 
  The dog has cleaned his bowl
and his reward is a biscuit,
which I put in his mouth
like a priest offering the host.

I can't bear that trusting face!
He asks for bread, expects
bread, and I in my power
might have given him a stone.

Jane Kenyon

I’ve been watching it, too. I am so sad to hear that there were children lost in the crash.

Sorry about your plants. Stupid critters.

“looking for my get up and go”

My Get Up and Go Has Got Up and Went

How do I know that my youth is all spent?
Well, my get up and go has got up and went,
But in spite of it all I am able to grin.
When I think of the places my get up has been.

Old age is golden, So I’ve heard said
But sometimes I wonder, as I get into bed.
With my ears in a drawer, my teeth in a cup
And my eyes on the table until I wake up.

Ere sleep dims my eyes I say to myself
“Is there anything else I can put on the shelf?”
And I’m happy to say as I close the door
“My friends are the same, perhaps even more.”

When I was a young thing my slippers were red,
I could kick my heels as high as my head.
Then when I was older, my slippers were blue,
But still I could walk the whole day through.

Now I’m still older, my slippers are black.
I walk to the store and puff my way back.
The reason I know my youth is all spent,
My get up and go has got up and went.

But really, I don’t mind when I think with a grin,
Of all the grand places my get up has been.
Since I have retired from life’s competition
I busy myself with complete repetition.

I get up each morning and dust off my wits,
Pick up the paper and read the ‘obits’,
If my name is missing I know I’m not dead
So I eat a good breakfast and go back to bed.

Thanks—I love it. Have another at the other door full of dark purple wave petunias, lavender fanflower, pink vinca, and pale lavender wave petunias. It smells heavenly late in the evening.

I have been watching it but missed the news conference when I was talking to my brother! I hate to hear children were lost too. Do you know how many and what age? I’ll turn it up again now.

Did you have to go and do that, yorkie? I just ate some chicken noodle soup (because my tummy’s been acting up)...I’m falling apart it seems! I bought some of that Campbell’s soup with Mega noodles, advertised “kids love’em”! We do!!
