~.~*¨*•♪♫•*¨The Love of Music~*¨*•♪♫•*¨~

 I have a many loves... to name a few....Disneyland....Antiques and Music. Case in point....I grew up with vinyl records. To this day...I still listen to them...raising all my kids to have a love for the artists from days past .My crew knows who Harry Chapin is and love his sound~http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c5dwksSbD34

~A Dear Friend~

I saw your picture again today....and I miss you....I miss your laughter ...I miss your smile .I miss your good nature.
I came across a poem ...and I knew..it was just for you .

Around the corner I have a friend, In this great city that has no end, Yet the days go by and weeks rush on, And before I know it, a year is gone. And I never see my old friends face, For life is a swift and terrible race, She knows I like her just as well, As in the days when I rang her bell. And she rang mine but we were younger then, And now we are busy, tired women. Tired of playing a foolish game, Tired of trying to make a name. 'Tomorrow' I say! 'I will call on Jane Just to show that I'm thinking of her.' But tomorrow comes and tomorrow goes, And distance between us grows and grows. Around the corner, yet miles away, 'Here's a telegram miss,' 'Jane died today.' And that's what we get and deserve in the end. Around the corner, a vanished friend.

Remember to always say what you mean. If you love someone, tell them. Because when you decide that it is the right time it might be too late.

Cheers to skies Anita.... I love you so.

~Moving Day~

I have a home full of Details.......all with names, faces ,character and charm .The time comes , in our case more then once... an adult child moves out. And with that she takes even more details with her. My eldest...she moves out today taking with her....my 3 grandchildren. Its an odd thing...When a house seems just so small, full and busy ,that with the leaving of some will leave the house feeling a bit bigger and empty .Really a sad thing .That part will pass...I know....and something else will move into the empty slot ...It always does. So as I help you my eldest leave this home once again to start your own life with your own family..know this..I'm proud of you and love you more.

I have many children and I love them all.With all families everyone has his or her own place..be it the Eldest child {Head ruler over younger siblings}..Middle children {Their job is to bust the humps of the younger ones under them and talk back to the eldest} and there is the baby of the family .We all have them...the beloved 'Baby of the family' who gets away with almost anything . Is the last child in a run of so many spoiled??? Maybe?? Most likely?? Perhaps??.......

 Definitely!! Case in point .... A little girl and her love of  Justin B~ .We were at the Elementary school Book Fair. She wanted this poster something fierce. I told her I thought she was a bit young to have a poster of a 'BOY' on her wall. What happened to the days of  kittens playing in the grass or Disney princess/ movie posters on her wall??? My days are numbered with this one..my baby...my littlest of details. As you can see by the look on her face..I gave in ....

.....By the end of the night ..J.B~ was places safe and sound in a frame and her poster was hung in its place before the night's end. Sleep well little one...Mum loves you~
