Living it up We're going to the movies, A dearest friend and I. We'll ignore all of the sad ones; We've had all we need of cry. Last week we saw The Chronicles; The lion, witch and wardrobe. Today it's Harry Potter In his long, black wizard's robe. We go to the matinee so we Don't need to drive in dark. We dine on pop and popcorn and Enjoy our little lark. We discuss the Harry Potter books, Decide which one is best. Will the movie do it justice? We're giving it a test. My friend is nearing ninety and I'm not too far behind. Are we in our second childhoods, or Has each of us lost her mind? We're keeping up with grandchildren And having a good time Doing things we were too busy for When each was in her prime. We are no longer chained to desks, Burdened with daily chores. Now is our time to play a bit And ignore the silly mores. Joyce Johnson 01/17/06 |

Dear Joyce: Cute poem! I would love to join you going to the movies. I'm really lucky if I see one or two a year! Love Betty lou Betty Lou Hebert |

Joyce~ 'We're keeping up with grandchildren And having a good time Doing things we were too busy for When each was in her prime' I KNOW just whatcha' mean !! Now I'm primed for all the good times those little grandies care to share~ Fun piece, my friend~ *Huglets* ~*Marge*~ ~*The sound of a kiss is not as strong as that of a cannon, but it's echo endures much longer*~ |

Thanks for reading Melton. I've missed seeing you around. Thank you Marge. Sometimes even the grandchildren are too busy for us. We have to depend on our friends. Love, Joyce |

Like the adage says, "If I had known grandkids would be such fun, I would have had them first!" This poem is fresh and makes me smile. Brings out the kid in me, too. Think I'll take in a lighthearted movie soon! Wanna come? ~ Karen ~ |
