You will.

Some of my weekdays have gotten busier lately. I'll have to use my weekend time to get caught up.

I'll propably be sending a few things your way later.

[NicknamedBob]

Morning, Meekie!!

[JustAmy]

Lori ..... Thank you for this beautiful Welcome Graphic. Have a wonderful vacation. See you when you get a chance to check in.

CG ..... Thank you for writing this thought provoking poem. Thank you for sharing it with us.
"Trust the Lord to guide you on,"
"His love will light your way."
"Praise Him for His Grace and gifts,"
"Thank Him everyday."

Great ..... looking forward to them.

Is everyone aware that the image in post 118 is an optical illusion?

You can see a young lady, face turned away -- and then you see an old crone with a large nose.

It's an evocative image that I have seen before.

Triumph

Kiss the air and breathe it's riches.
Fly with the angels, and receive baby kisses.
Feel the light and absorb it's power,
Turn yourself off in about an hour.
Loves wishes are granted by faith,
Life is so much better when you know you're safe.
Welcome to the comfort zone,
Some people would call it home.
These purple clouds and rain of sun,
Save the children, isn't this fun?
Congratulations, you've survived this far,
Luck for you, noone knows who you are.

My 17 year old great-nephew wrote this poem.

[JustAmy]

Here is another that I found ......



Deciding which to use with that poem was a tough decision. I thought either would work with it.

[MeekOneGOP]

Dang ! My eyes aren't cooperating. I can only see the old hag.

I wanna see the young lady ! :^D

[NicknamedBob]

The first one is prettier.

It took me a moment to realize the "old" image was there as well.

The old hag's eye is the young girl's ear.

[JustAmy]

Thank you for this great picture of our flag.

[NicknamedBob]

Uh-oh, a new competitor in the poetry department.

I better get back to work...

[MeekOneGOP]

The old hag's eye is the young girl's ear.

Hmm.

Thanks. I'm gonna grab a bit of breakfast and look again.

Maybe my eyes will straighten up with a full tummy. :^D

[JustAmy]

Yes .... I think the first one is a much prettier picture and the picture of the old crone is better.

I debated because I had used the first picture about 5 months ago. I doubt that anyone will remember .... I don't remember what I used it with. :)

[PGalt]

Thanks to all the talented individuals that contribute to Amy's Place...bump

[JustAmy]

Thank you from all of them.

Have a Wonderful Weekend, PGalt.

He is just starting with the poetry. His teacher has encouraged him to take some writing classes next year.

I hope he shares some more with me.

Pardon the Percocet induced typo's. I had minor out patient surgery last Monday to help us have more children. Well, the surgery worked but it has been an extremely painful week. It wasn't minor at all. It took a cut tummy and 5 hours of surgery to get the job done. I sit down to read the news but can't post very well or focus my eyes. I had a hard time remembering my friends to put your names up at the top. hahaha

I'm starting to feel a little better now so I'll come in and visit on my walking breaks. Gotta keep moving. Ping me to anything good or obnoxious. ha!

So what's up with everyone? How are your summers going?
