He is a doll, huh? Just reach in and grab him....he’s yours!

Don’t you love that yorkie? When a new member comes in, we give them an 8 by 10 copy with flowers around the edges, framed of course. Its a cute poem I think. “picking the flowers from other’s yards and learning to spit” always tickled me.

[jaycee]

Had not seen this one....its cute though.

[jaycee]

;o)

Make friends of my enemies and talk “love”, not war.

If I make it past 90 then this may occur. Until then, I ain't forgetting.

"The Old Maid"

I saw her in a Broadway car, The woman I might grow to be; I felt my lover look at her And then turn suddenly to me. Her hair was dull and drew no light, And yet its color was as mine; Her eyes were strangely like my eyes, Tho' love had never made them shine. Her body was a thing grown thin, Hungry for love that never came; Her soul was frozen in the dark, Unwarmed forever by love's flame. I felt my lover look at her And then turn suddenly to me – His eyes were magic to defy The woman I shall never be. Sarah Teasdale

Good morning, Billie. Thank you.

I agree about this being wonderful.
MamaBear took a Fish Hawk poem written for Amy's Place in 2005
and revived it with a new Opening Graphic.
The difference between the old graphics and the new is amazing.

Hope you are having a Terrific Tuursday!

YIKES, we're growing old today? I love that picture - it's the same one I used for the opening of "Grow Old With Me" a few weeks ago. I think it is such a sweet picture. :) "The Old Maid" - a bit sad. We can only hope that when we do grow old, we don't grow dull and without a light in our eyes.

Thanks for Your replies about my being behind.

Rest assured, catching up is a want to, not a feel as though I have to.

& I won’t be responding to everything as I explained the why nots/reasons, prior...and will also keep doing collective thanks etc...as well.

I enjoy responding and it helps that it is a perpetual monthly Thread...I have 28-31 days to catch up.lol!

I’m just speaking for myself not meant to be taken personally if the words used differ.

& I totally am fine with anyone else’s way to go about replying,and totally understand if/when/why they may not reply to everything either,not always gonna happen nor is it always possible.

No worries & I appriciate the friendship/concern/advise/encouaging words, but really I’m not stressing just explaining why I’m behind & I look forward to the catch up days,very much!:)

To return the savor to Others, we all get joy from looking through new pings and FReeps!!:)

I already know You agree even if we use different words & ways & days to go about doing that very thing. HUGS! & T Y!

on the east coast!
Hope each of you have a lovely

Thursday!

I have to agree wholeheartedly! But besides both of us having a few more years with lots of practice, there is another major difference and that is that we're not confined by a particular physical size (width and/or height) anymore!

Ping-a-lingy to post #2411!

Where IS my brain! LOL!

Missed you use of that photo or I would have used another.

It’s a happy poem. Your eyes will never grow dull and you have too much love to be lonely.

Morning, Luvbo! Pretty graphic!
