Two poets, very dear to me
They got it started, eventually



I'll never forget the love and care
of poets gathered in friendship's share
Seymour and Chipmunk it was their time
both left a legacy in beautiful rhyme

Here we sit in far away land
but we could virtually grab a hand
Joined in spirit we could even sent
our hearts to each and every friend




Like scattered leaves...my words will flow

Titia~
You are such a dear, dear person to honor our memories of Seymour so beautifully~
These photo collages are absolute keepers~
They bring back such warm, loving memories~

I smile at the barbecue contructionists
(That barbecue grill is in my garage still~
It came in very handy when we had the hurricanes and were without electricity for so long~)

Thank you, Titia~

How incredibly beautiful these collages are, dutchy. Thank you with all my heart

...and, for the record, that bar-b-que grill was defective! Those pieces just wouldn't fit together the right way (plus I had the feeling it was really alive, laughing at us!)

Titia ~ I cried a million teardrops when
I saw this loving photo tribute to Sy.
Seeing you all together with a beloved
Chipmunk was more than this heart could
bear. May they be at peace and have fun
together in a world we do not know or
understand.

loves to you, Marti

Okay, now the tears are really streaming down my cheeks. My daughter just walked in my office and got quite concerned when she saw my state of discomfiture. "Mom, what's wrong?", she asked. "I just lost one of my dearest pip friends." She then pointed to him in the wonderful keepsake collage, and she said that's him, isn't it." She said that he looked like a kind man ~ and very handsome. That remark surely put some added fluff in his angelic feathers!

Titia, your heart ~ and talent ~ is showing.

God bless you both!

Love & Everlasting Light,
Linda

Titia darling heart OH how the memories sparkle in my mind right now, these beautiful pictures of such beautiful people. I treasure the time I spent with you all, each and every one of you brought something so special so magical to that time in New Port Richie, that I feel blessed by the memories I hold here in my soul.

As I said to Larry C, typing is increasingly difficult for me, however writing this is important and I didn't want there to be any of the kind of mistakes the voice recognition software leaves.

Beautifully written darling one as only you can do.

Margie I am glad you kept the barbeque it would have been a waste to have left it behind.

Love and warm stuff
as always

My lord, how absolutely special!  You did a beautiful job on this Titia.  It's incredible that you captured two of our pals in one photo that are now gone, but will never be forgotten.

Thank you for the wonderful collage, Titia.  The visit is one I will never forget. Proof that the internet can bring us worlds together.
And starting that barbecue grill was an exercise in futility, if I remember correctly.
