the trail of tears.
it was
a wonderful morning
filled with skating
and sliding
and parents
and teachers
and tumbles
and laughter
and happy screams
were heard
and
most of all
kids
just having fun
and sharing the day
and
after the mad fun
it was
time to warm up
and enjoy treats
and then
some of the little ones
began to realize
that parents
had to
head back to work
or home
and a bit of worry
set in
and
as we said goodbye
and hiked back
towards school
the tears flowed
and the wails were heard
and some
were
walking
and weeping
and clinging
as if
parting forever
and it was
dramatic
and
so full of love.

ever has it been that love knows not its own depth
until the hour of separation.

no party is any fun unless seasoned with folly. ~ desiderius erasmus
it’s just not a party
until
the
accordion
and
the
watermelon dancers
come out.

where there is life there is wishful thinking. – gerald f. lieberman
babies j, b and f
believe
waiting
and
hoping
for a glimpse
of santa
8 tiny reindeer
and
for
all
of
their wishes
to
come true.
clothing is optional.

easy like a sunday morning.
after a night spent
with mayhem
and mischief
and fun
in
peaches’ cottage
while mom and dad have a date
and
ending up
on
the longest night ever
tucked into the loft
nestled with
nacho the cat
and
babies j and b
then
we wake up to another day
the shortest day
and
find our zen.

h3-oh!
having
named
all of
my
3 daughters
all close in age
with
names
that
all begin
with the letter
h
has caused
me to
rarely
if ever
call them
by their
proper name
at least
on
the first
or
the second
try
and
they’ve
all learned
over time
to just
answer
to
any of them
and
when they
all sign their cards
to me
love
your favorite daughter, h
i know i’ve done it right

one thing they never tell you about child raising is that for the rest of your life, at the drop of a hat, you are expected to know your child’s name and how old he or she is.

once. again.
one of my all time favorites
‘once’
an indy film
shot in ireland
in just a few weeks
for only 150,00 usd
with real people
and real music
and
love and heart and soul
and the stars/musicians were shocked
when they won an academy award
for their song
and they fell in love in real life
and they made music together
and then
they broke up in real life
and stayed friends
and still make music together
and the movie was remembered
then made into a broadway play
and i was lucky enough
to see it
when it was on tour here
the stage
was an irish pub
the audience was invited up
to have a drink on stage
while the cast fiddled away
then the play began
and it was
all beautiful music and love and heartbreak and ireland
and i loved every minute of it
once.
again.
