I'm going home, pass the word Roll out the red carpet Kill the fatted calf and be assured I won't be late, you can bet I wonder who will be in the drive To see if I look different Mostly just to see if I'm still alive Or wonder how my time was spent When I left I said I'd never be back I was a grown-up, you bet Who needed rules, regulations & other flap I'd be the one with rules to set I went many places by many different ways Sometimes I remember other times not A lot of those days are still just a haze Others I was so cold and others too hot No one could tell me life could get better I had the world by the tail Didn't have to make points or call anyone sir If you don't try anything I guess 'ya won't fail Then one day I just woke up, what a shock No more did I have a reason to roam My whole life could fit in a box I didn't care if I had to crawl I was going home I thought the grass was greener On the other side of the fence Now only one thing I know for sure I'm ready for the real world minus time spent |

Seymour Tabin, yes it is true and if we are lucky we get where we are going. Thanks for reading bslicker, sounds like you would learn from a mistake or two but we never know until we try. Learning is a trip by its self. Like your humor, Bernie. |

Butterflies, my kid, don't push! you know it will be over a month yet. It will be good to get home and I don't expect a fatted calf, but will think of something else to have waiting. What about that famous tea that y'all talk about. Love and hugs, Mom E. |

Now, Sven, I can't say I believe you! If you could see all the wild flowers, Spring Breakers (thought I would throw that in)and all this winter that you don't have to shovel, I am sure you would think about it too. I know I have to go to Michigan sooner or later, but please warm it up first!! LOL Thanks anyway. ME |

Janet Marie & my Butterfly kid, I am sure after a 1600 mile trip I will be ready to sit and ride-a-spell in May. But, who will drive? Thank you my girls and love and hugs, Mom E |
