"Beautiful fall pics, y’all!"

I agree, GG! I can just smell the crisp autumn air! Thanks for sharing, ladies!

I love swans!

[jaycee]

How absolutely gorgeous is that picture. Love the poem also, yorkie! I have been checking in and out so far today. Hope your day is nice!

[jaycee]

Beautiful fall picture, L. J. and enjoyed the poetry also.

Thank you! Swans are the personification of peacefulness, aren’t they?

Beauty Comes From Within

We’ve learned that beauty’s from within, but let there be no doubt,
Sometimes it takes a bit of squeezing to coerce the beauty out.
Our inner selves are selfish, and would gladly stay that way,
Except our friends compel us to be pleasant every day.

It isn’t such a burden, we enjoy it, after all,
But somedays it’s quite a distance from the bedroom to the hall.
We always put a mask on, of pleasant smiles and care,
But keep in mind there is a vice that tightens under there.

Our vices are our secrets. They’re not for public view,
Wisely we do conceal them, for they are hidden assets too.
The pressure has to be controlled, it must be nicely done,
For bringing out a bit of charm for each and every one.

I saw your pretty graphic last night with the verse. It was so nice. Believe I caught that this morning though, when I think about it. Its nice anyway.

[jaycee]

That graphic is just adorable. And Bob, your poem is so true and telling. It reminds me of “When someone says ‘how are you today’, would they truly want to know’.” It could take hours~~~~LOL~~~~!

“When someone says ‘how are you today’, would they truly want to know’.” It could take hours~~~~LOL~~~~!

I had a very cheerful thought today. I told someone,

"As soon as the posthumous fame kicks in, I'm gonna be set for life!"

[JustAmy]

Good Morning/Afternoon, Y'all.

I'm feeling kinda lazy today ... but
I will get the celebrations posted very soon.

Thank each of you for your contributions.
I've enjoyed your graphics, poems and messages.
They are great.

Hope everyone is enjoying this crisp fall day.

Whoo Hooo! You Go, Girl!

Thanks for the neat holidays we get to celebrate today. Let's have some pizza - New Yawk style! If Eleanor were alive today, I bet she'd love it, too. :)

[jaycee]

Love it, Billie....so cute!

[Billie]

Hey, jaycee! Whaddayano? You’re here; I’m here - how cool is that?!

[JustAmy]

LOL

Thanks, Billie. Your Marilyn Graphic is adorable.

That sausage pizza sounds really good; I’ll bet you are correct about Eleanor. :^ )

Also thanks for the re-do on today’s Welcome Graphic.

It’s been a while since I’ve seen you around here!

Was not around much this summer. Spent most of the summer with my daughter before she left for a three month mission trip to Zambia, Africa. She'll be back the end of November.

No snow here, just a cold mist...but the trees are beautiful!

I do appreciate your pings, even though I don't always get to post!

Hope you are doing well!

[jaycee]

It is so cool, I found a Betty Boop. She was in my graphics already and I was searching the web! LOL~~~

[JustAmy]

Hi Jaycee.

Your graphics are wonderful. Thank you.

I’ve been working on cleanup today ... the house, bookwork and the computer. :)

Really cute Betty Boop!!
