Gone visitin'...

Uh huh... I'm over wreaking havoc at Valarie's today! Are ya gonna come see me? You SEW don't want to miss the mischief over there... and Valarie is BRILLIANT!

Since it's Memorial Day week-end and it took an incredible amount of super-human strength to get the single-wide off the cinder blocks and hooked up to the duct tape mobile - I figure I'll make a long one out of these next few days.

While I'm out terrorizin' Valarie, the 'hood (and the rest of the states too) - I hope that YOU enjoy a week-end full of Family and Friends, grins and giggles (and some duct tape)! Salute a soldier and remember those that have fought and died for our nation:

Memorial Day

-~Joyce Kilmer~

The bugle echoes shrill and sweet,
But not of war it sings to-day.
The road is rhythmic with the feet
Of men-at-arms who come to pray.

The roses blossom white and red
On tombs where weary soldiers lie;
Flags wave above the honored dead
And martial music cleaves the sky.

Above their wreath-strewn graves we kneel,
They kept the faith and fought the fight.
Through flying lead and crimson steel
They plunged for Freedom and the Right.

May we, their grateful children, learn
Their strength, who lie beneath this sod,
Who went through fire and death to earn
At last the accolade of God.

In shining rank on rank arrayed
They march, the legions of the Lord;
He is their Captain unafraid,
The Prince of Peace...Who brought a sword.

Comin' to you LIVE from a single-wide that's happily parked at Valarie's... then I'm thinking: a trip to the zoo. Do you think they will keep me there or send me back home? I'll get back to you on this...


P.S. - I'm sew undecided about "Em.i.ly's" name!!! You guys rock! I'm going to throw them all in a pocketbook and see what I come up with - in the meantime - feel free to keep on pickin' some names!!!
