Okay...what can I say, I'm playing here....just a bit of stress release for wedding jitters...and so what if it looks more like a duck than a swan                                                                       Origami

          You
        bent my
   will; yet I did
       not break.                      You
        tried to shape me to fit your needs;
        though I did not conform. Flattened
         in your grasp, my edges became tattered
          until frustrated, you tossed me aside;
           leaving me shapeless.But the Master
            had greater plans than you and
             enfolded in the hands of love,
                 I became a swan.

Hi Ya Ruth,

Do you know how to dance..? You ever done the "bump." Well, I tried it with one of my daughters... She's quite a bit shorter, didn't work so well... But it works here at Pipers though a little different way, I guess this will due for now,,, OK, OK.

Oh... happy happy 10th. and by the way, that paper is nice to sit around and fold into all those intriguing shapes... But it would be much much more interesting if "Ruthie" writes on it first.

How about a bump... babba..?

You are a beautiful swan indeed. Isn't it wonderful to leave the past behind, yet remember it enough to know true happiness when found?
Today you become a princess and I am sure your prince is anticipating the blissful moment when you become man and wife.
