Dear Child,
I watched you wake this morning to a most wonderful sunrise and I waited...
but you threw the covers off and stumbled in to the kitchen for that first cup of coffee...
and I waited for you to talk to me then...
but you hopped on the computer...
and I patiently waited...
but when you were done with that and on your second cup, you picked up the phone...
and you talked to several of your girl friends...
and I waited...
but as soon as you were done...
you went to shower and dress for the day...
stopping long enough to pick up the kitchen and table before getting the kids up...
and I waited...
as soon as the kids were off to school you grabbed your bag and headed out the door...
started the car and cranked up the radio...
and I waited...
I know your work is demanding and I waited for your breaks and your lunch hour...
but you were busy running errands and talking to your co workers...
so I waited...
because that's what I do...
after work, you hurried home to meet the kids, do a load of laundry, fix supper...
and as soon as the supper dishes were cleaned up, I thought you would find time then...
but you went in and sat in front of the TV watching mind numbing shows until bedtime...
but I was waiting, like I had been all day long...
you got everyone ready for bed and tucked them all in...
as I waited...
and then you climbed between the covers...
and I thought for sure this would be our time...
but you went right to sleep...
but that's ok, because I'm here watching over you...
keeping you safe...
and maybe tomorrow you will find time to talk to me...
because I will be waiting to spend time with you...
because I love you, you are my child...
Love, GOD
Good afternoon...
another frosted morning here...
DH had to put the stickers on two vehicles this morning...
our license plates are $99 each now...
Illinois is so broke, they are raising the cost of everything!
here is the sun!...
after days of gloom, it finally popped out again...
look at all the critter tracks...
this is melted off...
see the fog in the background...
this old burn barrel has not been used in years...
well, not for burning...
it's the favorite potty area for the dogs...
but I think this needs to go this spring...
it's time to take the yard back and clean up a bunch of stuff!
and another postcard in the mail this morning...
snagged it on ebay...
so that gives me 2 really cool embossed Easter PCs this year...
and it was unused!...
but sometimes I like the ones written on...
it's kind of like peeking into someone's life...
someone who is probably long gone...
but their love still remains in pen and ink...
DH is shopping now...
he was delayed...
he had pulled into the Walmart parking area and decided to get gas first...
and before he could finish...
everyone came running out of the store, jumped in their cars and left...
police cars, a fire truck and an ambulance were on the scene- bomb threat...
so he went to the Dollar store...
then to the hardware store to pick up a new filter for the humidifier...
and then I called Wally World and no one answered so he headed to the next town to another Walmart to get our basics this week...
then he will come back through Charleston to get pizza at Papa John's...
and my Chalupa at Taco Bell...
then, a quick stop at the deli in Ashmore and then back home...
so we can have LUPPER...
Hawaiian BBQ Chicken...
the best of the best!
so, what ya doing?
hope it's not as exciting as a bomb scare...
or being on the road 50 plus miles just to shop at Wally World...
and I must report we have a balmy 34 out and with the sun...
there be slush...
everywhere...
just wish it was the slush before spring...
still got 50 more days...
Romance...
just a few more valentine images...
with some soft pink flowers...
who could resist all this?...
hope your Saturday turns out just like you planned...
and you find a little time this weekend for romance...
