                           If I could be a Dragon Fly and wing my way through the sky
 I would never be shy
 just me and my Dragon Fly!
 
  By moonlight we ride the wind chase the comets tail for fun
 by day we would hide from the sun
 our fragile wings would come undone
 
  On darkest nights we would use fireflies as our guide
 we would dip and we would glide
 through the heavens open wide
 and scatter diamonds in the night sky
 my Dragon Fly and I...
 
  And we would wing past our lovers silent in the night...
 to kiss their face in our flight
 much to their surprise and delight
 my Dragon Fly and me in sight...
 
  Such a view do we share away up here in the air
 of breezes soft through our hair
 my Dragon Fly and me a pair...

    Good morning everyone! 
 
Hi snippy. The wind howled most all night. There is no snow on the ground, what did fall yesterday has melted. 
Temp is 28-Wind Chill 16, 30% chance of snow, high going to 36. Rain by Monday.

    If all goes well, I should have my replacement BIOS chip on the 20th. 
But we all know about the flying fickle finger of fate, right?

 I'm more than a dollhouse, to be used just for play.
 I'm a "miniature home," growing memories each day!
  
 Please fill me with treasures 
 that you hold most dear.
 Look for small dolls that would like to live here.
 Collect tiny trinkets; add, year after year!
  
 Mementos of travels, 
 friends, relatives too~
 and things that you make, will most certainly do,
 to make these rooms home-y 
 and pleasant 
 for you.
  
 Then, weave a fine story 
 'bout your doll family.
 (They'll each need a name 
 and personality.)
  
 Together, we'll create
 a lifetime memory,
 For I'm more than a "dollhouse;"
 I'm an heirloom, you see!

     Yogurt anyone? 
 
 
 
 
A FRUITFUL FIRST 
 
Juan Metzger, a former Dannon Co. executive, is credited with putting fruit in yogurt. Metzger was recognized for suggesting the addition of fruit at the bottom of containers of the dairy product to improve its taste. The first flavor was strawberry. Metzger's father, Joe, co-founded Dannon Co. in the Bronx in 1942.

    Never give a person more power than he can use, for use it he will. --Cotton Mather (1663-1728) Puritan clergyman, writer.
    I thought you would love this quote, especially the authors name. Would you post a picture of your Cotton Mather? My favourite cat that I scared half to death that day!! LOL
   
 Such wonderful memories I carry with me from Tennessee...
 Early Fall 2003
 Lots of Southern Hospitality.
 A wonderful adventure for me.
 Meeting FReepers full of fun
 antique car rides held high on hills
 Nights of chatter, and coyote howls
 lone train whistles in the night.
   
 And dreams of travels to see the brother
 walking down country roads
 sharing memories from our childhood
 shopping for our supper together
 or going out to dinner,
 And church on Sunday at 8:00 A.M.
 Mother would be proud of him!
   
 Dragon Flies in the air
 another visit
 with lots of flair
 Gifts of glass and sparkling shimmer
 a lovely way to end summer
 with loving friends and family
 Thanks radu, for all you gave to me.

     Okie dokie, ms. feather. You asked and you received. Cotton Mather....UPRIGHT! LOL!! 
 The original Cotton Mather is an ancestor on my Dad's side and I named this sweet kitty after him. 
 Now I'd better start that roast or hubby will be terribly upset.....and he'll stick his rumbling belly against my ear again. hehe! I'll do my best to get back later. *HUGZ*

    When I'm present, I'm never seen, 
I can play games, and sometime sincere, 
I can hurt you, or make your day, I am 
neither living nor material, 
What Am I?

    Thank you snippy, I write every day. Most of my work is new. Of course, once in a while I sneak in an older piece. :)

    Ohhh you sensible 
 men of guns
 and prose
 You do write
 of love roses
 and sending tingles
 to the toes 
 of your lady in repose
     Ohhhh you sensible
 men of guns 
 and war
 will you love 
 her forever more?
 Or will the hell of
 what you see
 come between 
 you and me?
    
 Cause the nights
 to be stone cold
 and a lovers 
 shoulder a
 rock hard boulder
 to stiff to love
 every again
 Soaked in Bourban
 and gin left to
 take it on the chin?
 Can you be soft lover again?
