Three boys with a football, playing one man out, the baker in his forties smiles sadly; for a second he cradles his bread, long fat hard-crusted, for a second like a football, then he remembers he's a baker, in his forties. ©2003 by icebox |

 (big hugggsssssss) Awwwwwww...who says 40 is too old to play a nice game of football with the boys? (sad sigh) Though he may be older and his tone not like when he was a boy, we are all forever young at heart and I believe we never outgrow anything truly, God Bless You, you express a sensitive side of growing up, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet friend, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton I don't need no proof when it comes to God and truth |

Margherita ~ That is exactly what this image is for me. Thanks for reading Martie ~ You wondered about what had been in my head a long time ago. This one has been in there at least thirty years. Thanks for asking. *smile* Susan Caldwell ~ OK! You go long, I'll go deep; we'll see by morning who can keep up with who. *laugh* Mistletoe Angel ~ Thanks Noah. Emil was beaten down by responsibility at a young age. He would have told you that you were wrong. (I think you are right.) |

losing is more than just being beaten..it is often beating ourselves.. Emil.. seems to have beaten himself early... and forgotten joy |

Well, I'm not in my forties. It's been a while. But I'd toss the loaf with him. I toss some business cards with a rubber band around them now and then at work. Sshhhh! Don't tell. Nan (Pilgrim variety) |

So Emiliano is now in his 70's... I'll bet he still cradles the bread, too... bring the cheese, Ice, I'll bring the wine. We'll sit with Emiliano. |
