I feel like a machine
(not a mom, a wife, or a human being)
one that’s shiny and not too old
I could be silver; I could be gold
One that stands 5’7” in height
and would be useful day or night
This is just what I am
A bright, polished ATM

Photo is from our backyard
♥
Our little cabin in the woods
was made of rustic charm
It embraced us with its caring walls
and kept us very warm
In our cozy kitchen
Mom enticed us with her cooking
we’d always sneak a taste
when we knew she wasn’t looking
Night time walks could be spooky
even with a flashlight
to find furry, black masks huddled
was an unnerving sight
Time was passed in the snow
by flying down the hills
on a magic wooden sleigh
delighting in the thrills
Memories of our corner cabin
will forever stay in mind
but my heart is heavy knowing
now its windows are blind

but this is one of Big Bear Lake. )

Your day’s been long
I know you’re tired
Just relax, as I begin
to feed my desire
With feather touches
I trace your skin
and with my lips
I slowly skim
Your eyes begin to speak
as this game takes two
and your mouth begins to play
breaking every rule
You breathe me in
as your magic creates
an explosion of my soul
I gently embrace
Then with your silky voice
you dive deeper in my mind
and our final move
is exquisitely well timed

We never miss our county fair!
When the kids were little, the experience was magical,
viewing it through their eyes and excitement.
Now that they’re older, on their own, hubby and I get another date! 🙂
If you look closely, you’ll see that birds
enjoy the Ferris wheel, too. 🙂
This is the lagoon looking to the Pavilion,
where the music groups perform.
Standing in line.
A new angle.
From on top of the Ferris wheel,
overlooking the “kiddie ride” side.
Fireworks!
The End!
“Spinning rides invite
screaming amusement for all,
Proceed before meals”

After spending some time in San Francisco,
we walked across the bridge. We’ve done this
a few times and each time,
our experience is just as amazing!
To the right is Angel Island.
It’s usually foggy in the bay,
but once in awhile, the sun will shine!
…and to conclude with some poetry, here is an old haiku…
Marvel by the bay
stretches through cold fog’s embrace
with proud arms of strength

I hope you enjoyed these photos
and I wish you all a wonderful day or evening,
wherever you may be! ♥
It doesn’t take a frying pan
to hit me on the head
I get how you feel
I heard what you said
It’s not that I’m dense
and my ears work just fine
I had hoped you were different
and not just a swine
I’ll get by, though
Life won’t stop for me
I know I’m special
even though you won’t see
You didn’t know
a good thing
when you had it
Well, that’s fine
it’s time for us to split
So have a good life
C’est la vie
If you change your mind
don’t come lookin’ for me!

I thought I’d have a little fun,
reminiscing on past “loves” worth forgetting.
Can any of you relate?
I hope I’m not alone!
🙂
Will you take my hand
let me linger in your eyes
while the music guides
as we glide across the sky?
Will you hold me close
so I’ll hear your heart beat
as we waltz beside the moon
with our bodies in sync?
Will you kiss me like no other
lowering my defenses
as we slow dance above the clouds
stirring up my senses?
And when the music ends
we’ll still dance, you’ll see
I’ll then do the giving
Let me make your heart sing
