sweet face w/ a gray mustache

I was looking through
my pictures and found
some of our cat named
Buddy.

He was such a beauty.
He loved to curl up with
you when your were laying
down. He was always there
to help out when you
weren't feeling well.

For two days I could not find
him. Then I looked in his favorite
place among the flowers and there
he was crouched down. I knew then
that something wasn't right. After
taking him to the vet, we had found
out that among other things, his
kidneys had failed.
I sit here and cry
still remembering
what I went through looking into
his eyes begging for forgiveness
for having to put him down.
That was two years ago
and sometimes as I look through
our pictures, I find myself missing
him and remember his sweet face
with a gray mustache.

Slender Colors

Long and slender
so graceful in flight,
Oh what a beautiful
wonder of the sight.

Many tones of colors
various sizes too,
From the small green Noble
to the big Hyacinthie blue.

Memorial Day

Yeah, an American Soldier,
An American.
Beside my Brothers and my Sisters I will proudly take a stand,
When liberty's in jeopardy I'll always do what's right,
I'm out here on the front lines, so sleep in peace tonight.

American Soldier,
I'm an American,
American,
American Soldier.

Tornado Alley

Yesterday Tornados ripped through the state of Oklahoma
where I live. Sirens went off like crazy and the meteorologist were
so busy trying to keep everyone informed that they barely had
enough time to report a tornado when another one popped up.
We were warned way ahead of time that May 24th would be
an awful day for tornadoes. The Governor asked everyone to
go home early so they would not be caught in the tornadoes
at rush hour. The plan worked and lives were saved.

Here in our town, there came an erie blackness follow by
total silence, the sirens were going off tell us to take cover.
All of the sudden the winds picked up and the rains followed
suit...straight line winds. Lucky for us our neighborhood was
spared a tornado, but on the other side of town a couple of
houses weren't so lucky.

No one was hurt in our town, our daughter down in Norman
was also spared. Others weren't so lucky, and for them
we say a prayer.
Another day, another tomorrow...another Tornado.
That's Life in Tornado Alley!

heiroglyphics of angels

Flowers have spoken to me more than I can tell in written words.

They are the hieroglyphics of angels,

loved by all men for the beauty of their character,

though few can decipher even fragments of their meaning.

Lucky number 7

I finally had my spinal tap on Tuesday.

was down for the day and half of Wednesday.

I'm finally getting to the point where I am feeling

better.

Each time they stick that needle in my back it's

totally different situation.

I don't think I ever will get use to it.

This one was number 7. Aaaah lucky number 7!

Let's hope I can make it another 4 months.

Irritating

Why do my post seem to
do whatever they want?
take for instance the one below,
I didn't space the words like that.
So why is it doing that?
If you know why...do tell...will ya!
