.  I have this special place Tucked way down deep inside Where memories that must never be erased Quietly reside.... Obviously storage has to be controlled So access is not granted to all For come the day that I am old It is the precious things I want to recall Sometimes I have to tie up the loose ends And reluctantly have to cull Recollections of those once considered friends For fear the memory will become overfull There have been instances recently Where I have had to choose The ones that mean the most to me And which I’ve had to lose Those to be kept were carefully restored And all lovingly filed away Then I came across this board Now more are being added every day So future entries I’ll have to restrict In the years way down the line Because the friends I’ve made here at PiP Shall be there until the end of time... . "Ignorance is the Enemy...." |

I have reserved a seat for Ron as no doubt he will be checking the door for undesirables, Much Love, John |

Ku, I am the lucky one, the only criteria for membership of my exclusive little club is all spaces are restricted to friends. Join the Q, your seat awaits.... |

I do not want to "waste" an opportunity to post, so rather than start a seperate topic, for anyone who cares to take a look, I have just posted the final piece of my hospital trilogy in behind closed doors. |

Save my seat...I just saw an ad about walls that extend outward, and add room to the most full of spaces. Nice to have you back here John. |

Maureen, you are so right…you know, when I first began visiting it soon became apparent there was a common thread that I was picking up on… the constant references to family etc…I thought it was very nice but never imagined I would be welcomed into the bosom as it were so warmly & quickly. I am really, really thankful for all the wonderful responses I have had & continue to get from you amazing people…it almost makes being hospitalized worthwhile! Thank you & take care John AW, Cheers and don’t forget the chocolate when you check in..! TD, your seat has been taken, now stand up and give me a hug…. Bobby, I am grateful for your continued presence & friendship, you have been allocated the seat with Felix & WaWa on one side & Sally & Butch on the other… James M, glad you enjoyed, you have been tasked with bringing the pineapples…. SHDP…Bruce, I am both touched & delighted with your kindness, I shall leave the decoration of the walls of the chamber in your capable hands . I am confident it shall rival the Sistine chapel for beauty… Mama M, we are both truly blessed, as for the thanks, it is not for you to thank me, more for me to thank all of the residents of this special place for giving me Love, inspiration & a place to kick off my shoes and relax, I am at peace & at home in here… Lindsay , thank you I am delighted to be able to class you as a friend, I also love your work, it is the quality of everybody’s work here that drives me on. I hope I occasionally come close…. Ali, The feeling is mutual, we have much in common, Alaska, these fantastic inmates and........chickens?? Love your posts, please keep at it…. Much Love to you all….John |
