Thanks

[SAMWolf]

Thanks for posting this Flurry. It's a poem that tells it like it is.

[Conspiracy Guy]

Thanks. I'll listen to a vet talk about war but not a lifetime civilian. I know older vets who lost sons in Viet Nam. I lost friends and have a few that still carry it with them. This is true of any war. The big difference is how the soldier is treated. I was called a baby killer at LA Airport while returning from a TDY in Riverside to Kansas. One thing all vets I know agree on is that there is a fine line between putting down a war and putting down a soldier. One must never cross that line.

Their insecurities seep
from frayed
patches.




That's so sad SAM. Neat poem, good music today.

[snippy_about_it]

miles away on the road of life
we met for a common cause,
we parted sure we would meet again,

closer now in spirit
we came together to unite with new friends,
we parted unsure of when we would meet again

mountains, time zones and months between us
we talk, tease and flirt, can't hurt
we're miles away

when we meet yet again
it will be for ourselves

will we come together for our own cause
before we part again
or will we be miles away?

Good poem Snippy. Love the hummingbird photo too.

[Soaring Feather]

I love this poem snippy. So full of truth and honest emotion.

[Soaring Feather]

On the Road Again is perfect!!


Except I am a flier!! LOL

[Soaring Feather]

Sam, Love the poem you chose for today. Precious, indeed.

I can't sing either....I've heard my attempts at it referred to as "catterwhauling". LOL!
Painting is waaaaaaay beyond my skills. I can sketch well enough to draw up designs for stained glass panels and that' about my limit. *sigh* Ya either got it or ya don't. hehe.

I get "inspirations" for designs in odd places. I'll spot something while cruising down the raod and "bing!", I get an idea. I keep a small notebook in my purse so I can jot down a rough sketch, then draw up the actual design later.

One rose design came to me while I was "indisposed" one day.....it was inspired by the pattern on Charmin bathroom tissue, of all things! LOL!! Turned out fairly nice, if I do say so.

Yep, we have to take inspiration for any kind of art where and when it comes. As long as it works, I have no complaints. hehe.

Hope you're feeling better, ms. feather. Colds are no fun at all. Maybe a couple of pics of AudreyIII's blooms will will perk you up?

I really was disappointed that the blooms didn't open while you were here. They're pretty enough in pictures but to see them first hand makes a big difference.

Here's a shot taken from the front side of a bloom. (Lit by a flashlight)

And from the backside.

And here's a shot of the plant with three blooms open at once.

It's a shame the blooms only last one night. They're sooooo gorgeous.

Thank you for the compliment on the poem feather.

We'll have to have someone do a song about "in the air again".

I've been a flier lately, but I'll admit it still scares me! No control up there like I think I have behind the wheel of a car!

My grandfather did ceramics and other glass related things.
(He also did wood carving as well as painting, but I have no talents in those areas. Didn't inherit that skill.)

[Soaring Feather]

Thanks so much radu for the pictures of AudreyIII.

They are so beautiful.

[Soaring Feather]

Good morning Sam!

[Soaring Feather]

Good morning everyone. My satellite card is not receiving a strong signal again so I will have to be scarce again.

[Darksheare]

Eeeks.
Morning.
Good luck with the sat card.

[snippy_about_it]

Good morning. boo-hoo on the sat card.

[SAMWolf]

Good Morning Everybody.

Wrote and sent this via Email to daughter this morning. She loves it and said I can share it.

Sara’s Wedding

"Daddy I don’t know these folks",
You whispered quietly.
"Don’t fret sweetie it’s OK,
They’re staring straight at me".
You laughed, we walked, and smiled a lot.
The crowd basked in your glow.
Up front there stood a handsome man,
Enjoying this, your show.
I briefly stood between you two,
The love coursed through my heart.
I sat down and watched in awe,
As your new lives did start.
Jay loves you and you love him,
So keep that love for good.
Treat each other with respect,
The way that couples should.
I love you both with all my heart,
And pray for you the best.
I’m glad the wedding’s over now,
I hope to get some rest.

Daddy 10/10/03
