Let Me Not Mar That Perfect Dream
by Emily Dickinson

Let me not mar that perfect Dream
By an Auroral stain
But so adjust my daily Night
That it will come again.

Not when we know, the Power accosts --
The Garment of Surprise
Was all our timid Mother wore
At Home -- in Paradise.

Ten years ago, the Taco Bell Dog commercials were the rage (at the disgust of many).....Here’s one I never saw:

DollyCali asked me to post for her right now, “Case Dismissed”. Prayers answered. She’ll write more later.

Wonderful news!!! I am looking forward to "the rest of the story". (((((dolly and pups))))) :-)

[Mama_Bear]

Good morning, FRiends. Amy is taking a well-deserved day off and has asked me to fill in for her. I am a poor substitute for our Amazing Amy, but I will do my best. :-)

Some silly celebrations for August 28th...

Enjoy!

LOL! Those Taco Bell ads were very good.

.

[Mama_Bear]

LOL. I don't think I had seen that one either.

I loved the chihuahua Taco Bell commercials! I managed to collect the entire set of the Taco Bell stuffed Chihuahuas. They are in a box up in the attic, still in their original packaging. They were supposed to become very valuable. Someday I am going to sell them on eBay and then we can retire to a villa in the Caribbean. I usually miss the boat on things like this, but not this time! LOL! ;-)

Dreams
by Fire Dancer

I was thinking of us last night
And the times we shared
How good we were
But now we are apart
Yet we still have our
Dreams
For in our Dreams we are together
Holding hands on the beach
Talking all night under the silver moon
Kissing and holding each other tight
Dreams
For no matter the distance
Or the obstacle I will always belong to you
For we are meant for each other
not only in reality, but also in our
Dreams

Mama_Bear, the saltines munching brings back memories for me: as a three year old, I loved to munch on saltines. Thank you for the flashback, it brings a tear to my eyes. Time moves so fast, does it not?/Just Asking - seoul62.....

Good Morning Everyone

Beautiful opening, Mama Bear.

[OESY]

We both had Taco Bells.

Got [most] of the holes shredded into the clay outside for the roses.
Ready to receive their peatmoss and compost backfill prior to planting.
*sigh*

I feel beat.

[MEG33]

How many roses have you moved, Darks?..I know you have worked hard!

[OESY]

There's nothing like a "welcome home kiss"
that says thanks for saving my life.

Awwwwwwwww..........thanks for that “Dreams” poem, yorkie. I enjoy poetry I can understand. I have read Emily Dickinson’s poem several times this morning. It is beautiful, as is all of her poetry, but I’m still not sure I “get it”. But, that’s me. A bit dense, especially first thing in the morning.

[MEG33]

LOL!

[yorkie]

I don’t know how to do the html teenie weenie letters, but I didn’t understand her poem, either. Sounds nice, though. And, I just loved the picture with it. Thank you.

[MEG33]

Lovely, yorkie.

[Mama_Bear]

Good morning, seoul62. I still love Saltines. The saltier the better! Peanut butter is good on them too, but keeping the cracker in one piece is kinda tricky. LOL.

Glad I could move you to tears this morning, makes my day. ;-)

Yes, time moves quickly. I recently lost someone very close to me and realize more than ever how important it is to make the most of every day.

You have a good one, seoul62!
