 I left the land of big folk for the place where lizards run amok sand is fine white powder little people run the house and my world bare bottom babies eat lunch in Daddy’s favorite hat smearing blueberries on brim small girls strum red ukuleles on the patio giggling louder than the storm and tiny boys pick Mama’s prize hibiscus as a gift to her oh how she loves them the boys and the flowers I lie on the red chaise wiggling bare feet Cuban coffee in hand smile grandchildren are sweet reminders of time past require nothing of me except love and tickles ahhh… bring me more coffee and grandchildren -------- Gianna, Kasia, Her Royal Highness Little Queen Mary, Noah the Mouse and Francesco [This message has been edited by The Lady (08-23-2006 04:05 PM).] |

Kate....hearing your joy of grandchildren made me miss my own. The tender watchfulness of one and the exuberance of the other can take my breath. How lovely is your love! and mine |

Kate~ I am so totally *giggling* ... 'you should have seen what I was wearing... they keep you young' This day, Landry has decided that her ~Poet~ needs to wear 5 'ponies' in her hair ... yes, she has tenderly coiffed me with 5 ponytails, each with a wrap of a different color ... Now, here's the clincher ... the doorbell rings ... ~Pony-tailed Poet~ goes to answer it ... and COMPLETELY FORGETS that I'm wearing 'ponies' ... LOL ... no wonder the community supervisor gave me THAT look !!! It honestly wasn't until he left and I closed the door that Landry reminded me that she liked my 'ponies' ... ALL FIVE OF THEM !!  Now we're playing 'dress-up' and tomorrow my own hairdresser will just LOVE this story as she works to re-coif me~  *Huglets* ~*Marge*~ ~*The sound of a kiss is not as strong as that of a cannon, but it's echo endures much longer*~ |

They are nice, like a ray of sun shine on a rainny day. Also dark as a moonless night, alseep with peace in the heart. The priceless future from the past. With the heart of the destany of 100's ( years can't spell sometimes, one thing Justbleu keeped up for me ) |
